So i have a N lady luck and i know it is intermediate but i cant never find a care quide on them
I grow it like a highland nepenthes But it seems it doesnt like it
Maby someone knows the ideal conditions for intermediate nepenthes
N lady luck ( bloody mary ) is a cross between N ampullaria × N ventricosa
Thx for the help

Lady Luck should be able to grow anywhere from LL through HL. It's a popular windowsill grower. What temps and light is it getting? Any photos?

It stands on my window sill (north east )
Its a really hot spring this year so i have it in a spot where it gets about 2 hours of full sun
I saw that the temperature in the sun was about 34 C
But when the sun go' s away 2 hours later it gets to about 28 C
So i think i informd u wrong i think i grow it like lowland
Because it doesnt get alot of a temperature drop

But here are my conditions :
Light: 2 hours of full sun later just indirect light.
Humititie: the Humititie is around 40- 60
Soil: it stand in a 8 cm pot, and in peat


I had some problems before with my N lady luck in winter it grow really fast and now it grows like a leaf per 2 months so im kinda worried
I also moved it to much so i think i really mest up a 2 month ago it begon growing again because i placed it in a small greenhouse but it got to hot in there

So i placed it back where it now stands
Here are some picture

28 C is a bit warm for the low. That's more ultra lowland. It would also explain why it does better during the Winter. It looks fairly healthy but if the leaves continue to decrease in size it's not happy.

When it was winter it got temperture drops so maby if i give it temp drops it does beter but i will first let it adjust to cooler temp
I have now placed it with my N ventrata so hopefully it does beter if something happends i will let ot know

I grow mine outside - we are intermediate in winter and lowland in summer. It seems to do best in between - a little warmer than winter and cooler than summer, but it's fine all year round. I would not expect it to like highland conditions.

I believe Lady Luck likes to grow in Lowland to intermediate conditions? Check this out: Nepenthes Altitudinal Distribution

Thx that is really help full
So what would be the right thing to do
Maby i can place my N lady luck outside on the day and bring him in the house during night and place him in my livingroom there it is cooler than on my room ? Maby that works better
I really find it hard : D

Thx for the help really apriciate it

Another update on my N lady luck ( bloody Mary)

It is doing great again i placed it where it was standing before but this time no direct sun light. it really loves it
I find that it doosnt like direct sun
It made 2 leafs in about 2 weeks
so its doing great

Happy growing
