What will happen.........
« Thread Started on May 24, 2008, 11:15pm »
What will happen if my plants are exposed to full sunlight (7.00a.m to 1.00p.m).The plants are ventrata, truncata, ampullaria, miranda, sumatrana, hookeriana, rafflesiana, mirabilis.Bought a new one today from Jusco.Big leaves no pitchers.I think it's because of cool temperature.Don't know what it is but the leaf structure looks like rafflesiana.What I notice is that the ventrata cups for sale in Jusco is much thicker and the miranda have big cups as well.Are they highlanders.Ventrata cups was as thick as truncata.

You may place your neps under direct sun, but you must do this gradually. If it was placed in shade and you suddenly place it under direct sun, it might wilt and die or the pitchers might all dry up. Acclimatisation is the trick.

However, some species do like sunlight more than others. N. xmiranda, mirabilis and others does better if they have more sunlight.

N. xventrata is a hybrid between N. ventricosa and N. alata. Ventricosa is a highland that is know to be able to acclimatise to lowland conditions. Alata is an intermediate plant. This hybrid is very vigorous. However, cooler conditions will allow it to grow bigger traps and the colours will be more vibrant. The plants you saw are from Cameron Highlands. They grow huge and colour is very red when grown in cooler conditions.
