I have a Miranda that will need to come in for the winter. I have a corner kitchen window that faces east and south, but last winter it grew leaves but all the tendrils dried up. I live in Michigan so it will be inside from Oct to April. Any suggestions to keep it happy would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I also live in Michigan and my N.miranda was kept in my basement under a lighting fixture. I ran a small room humidifier and the pitchers stayed healthy and it continued to grow new leaves and pitchers... I would think by a window would work if you could add some humidity to the area where it's growing.

Miranda needs very little humidity. I had mine being blown on by a furnace vent, receiving basically no direct light all through last winter and it was still producing pitchers (though very slowly.)

You can try misting it a few times a day - it might help with pitcher formation.
