I am very new to this site. I don't know if this site is linked with "Carnivorous Plants in the Tropics. " If so, I apologize for the double post.
Here is my problem:
I have 25 sun burned, 8 inch hanging baskets of Nepenthes Miranda and 10 more of another Nepenthes species(smells like fresh lemons) in 6 inch hanging baskets too. All of the plants are on stainless steel racks with shelves.
They were outside for 3 straight days. The leaves are either burned on the edges, burned down the center or have very little green left on the leaves. The plants are back in their room with humidity and T5 lighting. The stalks are still green. Is there anything to be done or do I just need to wait?
I recall seeing a Nepenthes that grew back after two years of being completely brown. The guy kept watering the plant on it's regular watering schedule.

I have had a similar experience where I didn't get my shade cloth up soon enough in spring. I didn't lose anything in the end, but I simply reduced the light levels and was careful not to overwater. When the leaves die off the water requirements can go down, and roots can die to balance it out, hence making it easy to overwater and rot the plant.
