Hey there! I've had a sarracenia purpurea for about 4 months now and it's doing quite well. The leaves are not as purple as they can be but it's getting there (I'm giving it more direct sunlight). I wanted to ask if I should move the plant from the windowsill that it's sitting on right now. It's the brightest one I have but during the night there are 10⁰C (50⁰F) in there. The plant is still growing rapidly and gives no sign of struggling but I still wanted to ask.

It should be looking for dormancy anytime now, so keep it in the coolest place you have. If it continues to grow in natural light over winter it will produce green and etiolated leaves, much like some of the leaves on it already.
