How to fertilize Round-Leaved Pitcher Plant
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Round-Leaved Pitcher Plant after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I thought I knew how to take care of my carnivores, but I guess not. Anyone got any advice on what this guy’s deal might be? #TropicalPitcherPlant

I'm new at this... Hi community 👋 I turn to you in search of some advice. I have a nepenthes ventrata (or that's what I think it is 🤔) that I purchased 3 months ago. Since then some leaves with pitchers have been gone, although recently it has developed a new pitcher and 2 new leaves...so I think I'm on the good path! Nonetheless, there is a lot of info out there on the internet and I'm getting confused. Do I need to transplant it to a bigger pot? When to know? Does it need to be in a closed pot if I transplant it? (I think I already acclimated it properly) I use tap water, but do I need to change the type of water before its too late? As it is, it just seems too comfy in its lil pot, but I want to be safe than sorry. I apologise for the many questions, I just want my plant to live a long happy life 🌱 #TropicalPitcherPlant

I’m losing a pitcher! Why am I losing a pitcher!? I’m using distilled water, a humidifier, and misting every now and then with distilled water. This pitcher looked so happy! I know they like to stay moist, not like #AmericanPitcherPlant #Sarracenia where they’re pretty much staying in some water. I also cut a few leaves off but they were pretty much dead. I know not to cut the pitcher unless the pitcher is dead at least halfway up to the leaf. What am I doing wrong? It looks like the pitcher dried out? It’s also throwing 3 more pitchers so maybe it had to sacrifice? How do I give it a boost? #TropicalPitcherPlant #CarnivorousPlants #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PlantTherapy

What are these things? And why are my leaves a bit warped? Anyone know what specific species this is? I think it has pests but these are so sensitive I don’t know what to use to kill the pests without killing the plant. I have insecticidal soap, bonide houseplant granules, BioAdvanced houseplant spray that kills on contact and another BioAdvanced organic spray that kills in minutes. I also have the arbor bio-insecticide. #PestControl #TropicalPitcherPlant #Nepenthes #PitcherPlant #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #CarnivorousPlants #CarnivorousClub @Seymour and friends?

Are these tropical pitcher plants supposed to stay in water or just keep the moist? #TropicalPitcherPlant

My pitcher plant has numerous pitchers; however, the lids turn brown and can't close. What am I doing or not that is causing this? #TropicalPitcherPlant
