Hello All! New to the hobby so I decided to dip my toes in this past spring. I bought a five plant starter kit and I'm now heading into my first fall with the plants. All my plants are currently and have always been indoor (not temperature controlled throughout summer). They are located on a tea cart next to our kitchen window. All receive direct morning light and indirect the rest of the day.
Background: I have a Nepenthes Bloody Mary and its mature leaves have started turning purple(ish) red. This first started late summer and I thought it might be sun burn and then attempted to adjust accordingly. It hasn't seemed to make any difference.
Since then fall has begun where I live with outdoor daily highs around 50F or 10C. We haven't turned on the heat yet, so the apartment its around 70F or 21C.
Question: Is this just the start of winter dormancy or is something wrong? If something is wrong, what might it be and how could I fix it? Finally, should I move them to my cellar for winter (much cooler with only indirect light from a small garden window in the morning)?
Thanks for any help!
