Subject:       Nepenthes Lighting

To everyone,

I am just an amateur cultivating Nepenthes so please forgive any
errors in my knowledge. I always believed that Nepenthes were
supposed to be mainly rainforest plants. But is it not true that in
rainforests, there is often only very dim light. If this is the case,
then how come Nepenthes often do not produce pitchers unless exposed
to atleast partial sunlight?
