Hi everyone.

This is my first post.

I have a Suki that I got about 2 weeks ago, I think... And I'm annoyed now that I didn't get a pic when it came, but the leaves seemed more red when I got it and now they look like this. Wondering if anyone else has one or can shed some light on why they would be changing? Too much sun? Not enough?
I've never had a Nepenthes with reddish leaves, so I would love your thoughts.

N. Suki is just really red! Although it seems to have spots that I don't see on mine here's a picture for reference

I expected it to stay more red, but it was the growing lack of red I was getting concerned about, but yours look similar, so that's reassuring, thank you.

Should I worry about the spots?

Probably nectar glands or something I haven't looked that closely at mine i can check later

Yeah, that's what I had figured with mine, but killed all the bugs in a one mile radius just to be safe. Also, the x Suki is probably one of the most temperamental ones in my collection. Seems to have a freak out every time the seasons change.

Oh, and side note, high doses of Imidacloprid combined with Talstar P will produce leaf deformities on an Exotica Plants N. truncata giant x N. merrilliana giant.

The joys of panic mode -_-

Mine seems to be doing well.
Just had baby open up and a new leaf is ready to unfurl. ❤
