About 10 days ago I received a N. ventricosa x campanulata rooted cutting. I potted it up just as I've done with my other Neps (with a mix of LFS, perlite, and orchid bark) and placed it in front of a window where my other Neps are growing. It's a South facing window that gets a few hours of sun every day. I often don't open the blinds until after noon. I use the tray method for water, allowing the water to evaporate in between waterings, and I use distilled water.
I've done the exact same thing with other Neps and I've had success. However this plant, is looking a little rough. It's leaves are wrinkled, some have turned yellowish, and the tip of it's new leaf/growth point has dried up and turned brown. The lower portion of the growing point was looking ok, but its starting to wrinkle too. At first I thought it might need to acclimate to drier conditions so I placed a bag over it. But now I'm thinking it may be getting too much sun. I'm not sure as I've never experienced this.
I just reread some of the communications I've had with the supplier and I was told that it was grown outdoors in 70% shade in Houston TX. This makes me think, even more, that the plant may be getting too much sun. Please look at the below photos. Does the plant look like it's getting too much light? If not, what might be wrong? Either way, how can I help this plant recover? I hope it's not too late.
