Freyr is giving off a new leaf so at least it seems to be adjusting a bit more. #carnivorous #carnivorousplants #bogplant #boggarden #sharingiscaring #plantfriends #bog #closeup #indoor #indoorplant #indoorplants #indoorgarden #growlight #newgrowth #macro #newgrowth #nepenthes #viking

Freyr continues to turn from pink to red. Still no clue if this is good or bad however it is a very pretty shade. #carnivorous #carnivorousplants #bogplant #boggarden #sharingiscaring #plantfriends #bog #closeup #indoor #indoorplant #indoorplants #indoorgarden #growlight #newgrowth #macro #newgrowth #nepenthes #viking

@PunkyKy have you ever heard of a Nepenthes that turns pink?! 😱😱 I've contacted the seller and it sounds like I have the ideal conditions for this Nepenthes he doesn't think it's getting light burned or anything. I contacted another friend and was told his turns pink/dark purple! #carnivorous #carnivorousplants #bogplant #boggarden #sharingiscaring #plantfriends #bog #closeup #indoor #indoorplant #indoorplants #indoorgarden #growlight #newgrowth #macro #newgrowth #nepenthes #viking

They're gorgeous plants, I can't wait to see what happens from here! @lexicon I've been wanting this Nepenthes for a while! Just wish there was more info out there about them!

Hmmmm....ill need to do some research about them. My ventricosa turn green and slightly yellowish sometimes with a dark vein down the center of the leaves....i like to keep mine on the bright green side though. I don't like it when they get the yellowish tint. Most of the time they don't come back from it and end up losing the leaf. I will need to look up info on the Viking. It is a new one to me. But on my #wishlist

My little Ventricosa is in the same conditions and is as green and could be. It's also pitchering like mad! However my big boy ventrata still doesn't have any new pitchers. Meanwhile my Hookeriana and viking are red as sin! @PunkyKy its so crazy!

I would give it less light. Pull the lights further away from it or get a set up of less wattage lights for this guy. He is suffering from too much light, even though he is still putting off new growth and such. He's getting slightly sunburned. It's normal for them to turn slightly pink/red....but I believe this little guy is getting too much powerful light. A shade cloth would also be another option if you didn't want to pit up another separate set up for this handsome guy! Omg I want one so! ☺

I have raised the lights considerably so hopefully that'll do them some good! @PunkyKy thank you!

@PunkyKy this is how little the plants are. Idk which one is mine but it ships out Monday. It's only four hours away from me so it should be here Tuesday or Wednesday (disclaimer: not my photo) #carnivorous #carnivorousplants #bogplant #boggarden #sharingiscaring #plantfriends #bog #closeup #indoor #indoorplant #indoorplants #indoorgarden #growlight

Finally ordered a "Viking" Nepenthes!! This is what the pitchers look like. I ordered a babe so it wouldn't have fully developed pitchers yet but I'm truly excited to welcome this new babe into my collection. DISCLAIMER: this is not my photo, it was taken from Google to give an example of what the pitchers will look like. #carnivorous #carnivorousplants #bogplant #boggarden #sharingiscaring #plantfriends #bog #closeup #indoor #indoorplant #indoorplants #indoorgarden #growlight

Awesome! Eventually it's going to need real natural sunlight once they get bigger.

It's got a few years before it gets real big. The seller has grown them from seed so it's rather small. But for $8 it was a steal, I'll post a picture of what my plant look like. @PunkyKy
