Can a pitcher plant get a little sunlight?

I hanged a pitcher plant outside the window which will get a little sunlight,is it ok or it will hurt the plant?

Can a pitcher plant get a little sunlight?
It should be fine, as long as the window doesn't get too hot. Most pitchers like sun as long as it's not too intense and they don't dry out. Keep it well watered and if need be mist it to maintain humidity. Watch it for a few days and if it shows any ill effects move it or filter the sunlight with a thin scarf or curtain.
Reply:Dont worry too much, i regularly have mine outside-in fact ive had 2 out all winter and they still have leaves with pitchers! They re in semi shade so get some direct sunlight. All plants are best gradually conditioned to new environments though, especially if high temperature differences etc. Watch out for rough winds which could shred them a little too and ensure they stand in water. Hope this helps.never fertilise with artificial fertiliser.


Good luck! Rob
