Is my Miranda too red?

omg… ok i mean it’s certainly the reddest N. Miranda i have ever seen but i don’t see any burning and the traps look ok so i wouldn’t say there is anything “wrong” with it.

I will say though, when you expose a nepenthes to extreme light to the point where the leaves turn bright red like this, the leaves will always stay relatively small and curved down — you won’t get the big long leaves Miranda are known for

I personally would move it back a little, just to where the leaves are bronze and not all red just to ease up some stress on the plant.

It has a slightly less bright spot all picked out — I’ve just been observing to see how red it can get while still looking otherwise healthy.

very cool experiment and goes to show how well they can adapt! it will be interesting to see how it responds after moving it somewhere a little more protected

Part of me says "this is insanely red just keep going for fun" given it's a common hybrid, the other part of me says "it'll be high enough to maybe actually burn in a few leaves' time, move it"

This is insanely red, kinda hard not to lean toward letting it burn

lol. It’s 2 feet below the (bright) light and not getting taller very quickly, so growing height isn’t really going to affect the ppfd. It’s more the steady buildup over time.

You know far more about light than I do, I can guarantee you that. That is the corner of my cultivation that I’ve neglected the most - truly understanding light

Is your steak ever too juicy, or is your bank account ever too full? Nah, seriously though, or should be fine. High red is good on a Miranda, as long as it's not burning or forming, you're golden.

If it's not burnt then no.

[u/Vardl0kk]

Nah it’s fine you’ll get huge pitchers this way
