Some plants react to the sun much like humans do, “getting a tan”. It’s called sun stressing!

For this picture I kept one of Scylla’s “mouths” in the shadow (indirect light), so it shows its natural green colour, but I made sure that the other “mouth” enjoyed as much (direct) sun as possible.

The plant is not upset about this experiment at all. It keeps pushing “mouths” like crazy.

    They are outdoors 90% of the time! I only bring them indoors when the night is going to be extremely cold.

    They are on a south facing balcony, they get light all day. I don’t do anything about hibernation, but they don’t seem upset. I mean, this is their second or third year with me.
