I don't know about that Travis. THat looks like a fungi due to the porous look of the leaf surface where it is infected. I would spray with Cleary's 3336WP
I was/am just going off what my plants look like within a week of me moving them outside after being in all winter. Some of the leaves fry a bit, others fry hard and all that get fried get that "porous" look.
Federico,
I don't know i which way you did move the Nepenthes from the terrarium to outside.
You live in Rome and there the sun is already stronger than here in Milan.
I also already put to outside all my plants without having problems.I just kept open the terrarium to give less humidity and then, as the weather was bad and rainy...I put them outside in MORNIG SUN ( just 2 hours x day ).
Anyway..if this is not sun damage I thing also it is a fungi ( I don't thing RUST SPOTS....anyone can help to identify?).
If it is fungi just try with a BAYERS product called PROVADO PLUS. It should work fine.
Keep us informed.
I'd put money on it being a fungal infection, colletotrichum, mycospaerella and cercospora are common leaf spot infections in Nepenthes. Clearys 336 (thiophanate methyl) is good, but use it carefully as it will retard growth and is highly toxic to humans - don't get it on your skin or breathe any in.
All fungicides should be used with extreme caution, they're carcinogens. Maybe not toxic in the sense that they'd make you sick straight away, but you really want to treat them with great care.
SydneyNeps is quite right I think may people spray these chemicals about without knowing the associated risks and protecting themselves fully. You should wear rubber gloves and a face mask to avoid breathing in any aerosol. In a normal laboratory environment these chemicals would be used in a fume hood.
