Signs of light deficiency

  • Thread starter aarolar

What signs should I be looking for from my Nepenthes Ventrata that it's lacking light? I have it in a south facing window and I'm concerned it may not be getting enough natural light and I may need to supplement it some.

Not growing pitchers, or thin leaves, instead of stout ones. Hard to not give ventrata not enough light though, it is a tolerant one.

Good to hear I really like it where it is so I'd like to try and make it work out.

No pitchers developing is generally the first sign, but if the plant is very light-deprived then the tendrils on the leaves will be under-developed - much smaller and shorter than usual and may not even have a visible proto-pitcher tip on them. The plant can also exhibit some strange growth, with leaves growing very upwards rather than perpendicular to the stem.
