QuestionNepenthes Hamata
QUESTION: Hallo,
Yeah me again.
So, i bought a nepenthes without name. The pitchers are very small but i so that on the lid there are some "hair". I made a research and the only nepenthes with "hair" i found was the hamata. I m not very sure that you can see that in the photo but i wanted to try.
Thank you
ANSWER: Based on your photo, the pitcher shape and color is most consistent with Nepenthes rafflesiana. For examples of how this plant looks like, visit the CP Photo Finder.

QUESTION: Hallo,
I just saw the page you suggested me. At the growing options I found this writen "50% shading". That means for ex. 5 hours sun and 5 shadow?
Thanks
AnswerNo, you will burn your plant by doing that! 50% shading means a reduction of light intensity by 50% throughout the normal cycle of daylight hours. Use strong filtered or dappled sunlight. You may need to research other gardening sites about various options to achieve this type of lighting in your home.
