Nepenthes x Deroose Alata

8/7/2020 The #nepenthes-alata is producing a lot of little dark red #pitchers and enjoying the sun!

Lovely!

What sun do u have it in? The nursery guy said to put it in shade because it needed rehabbing. How long have u had it?

@heatherdirtyhands I've had this one since Feb. 2019. It's hanging in a west facing window all year. If the leaves start showing sun stress by turning red, I'll move it to a window that has the light slightly broken up and less intense but that's usually only for a month or so in late Spring/early Summer.

Oh ok so they will turn red...good to know. Have u noticed yours catching bugs? I have mine in a high gnat and fly area by the bunny cage but havent noticed any in the jars @leeloodallas

@heatherdirtyhands Yep. I've noticed them catching bugs. Some parts of the year have more than others. Like we get a lot of flies when the summer starts. But I almost never feed mine and they're pretty happy.

4/8/2020 The #nepenthes-alata has been growing like crazy. It has a lot of #basal-growth compared to my other. It's much happier with spring and more light and warmth.

3/21/2020 It's been a while but here's my #nepenthes-alata being pretty happy.

9/13/2019 The baby #nepenthes-deroose-alata have grown little baby pitchers! The "largest" one is barely 1cm tall.

9/5/2019 My #nepenthes-deroose-alata has two #nepenthes-basal-growth coming in! I'm going to need to determine how to hang this soon.

8/2/2019 This #nepenthes-deroose-alata is doing well! Of course, the pitchers are growing on completely opposite sides from each other. I may need to get a taller pot just because one of them is touching the saucer.

Looks great!

6/13/2019 This #pitcher on my #nepenthes-deroose-alata plant is going to give the others a complex. It's gotten huge! So happy it finally grew its pitchers back.

Wow!

6/3/2019 Full photo of my #nepenthes-deroose-alata after I returned from a week long vacation. So happy to see it forming pitchers! It lost them all in the shipment and replanting. So traumatizing for it. #pitcherplant

6/3/2019 The top a photo from 5/24/2019 and the last time I had watered my pitcher plant. The bottom is from today, when I finally returned to work. You can see the pitcher was coming in but it's so huge in the time I was gone! I love it!

3/7/2019 This #nepenthes is doing pretty well. Two of the four pitchers are turning brown but the other two look great. I'm hoping the two browning ones are just adjusting from being repotted and then moved to a new environment. Great plant, though!
