Question
i know this seem a little to far but is it ok for a nepenthes to form a pitcher
during the winter

Answer
Hello Aaron,

Nepenthes are tropical plants, so they must be kept out of freezing conditions anyways. Nepenthes normally produce pitchers all year round unles they are kept in less than adequate light levels and photoperiods. If your Nepenthes does not pitcher in winter you might want to add some florescent shop lights of the 40 watt 3000 lumen intensity that come in 4 foot long banks of two lights. Add one or two of those and keep the plant in a good south facing window. Keep the florescent lights on for at least 12-14 hours a day over winter and about 8 inches from the plant's leaves. It should grow normally all winter.
