Nice! Go Britta!!!
@LaSiguanaba she seems happy and I'm so glad because she's my very first nepenthes. She had one pitcher (the larger lighter green one) when I bought her, and now she has several growing!! πŸ’—
@JesssJungle I also have a nepenthes that is growing new pitchers! It’s really exciting to see!
@JesssJungle Great name choice!
She must be well taken care of! I have a couple pitcher plants that have the pitchers that were in the plant when I bought but it doesn’t seem like new pitchers are getting bigger. Maybe not enough humidity? My humidity is around 65%
@SFplantlover

Here is what I found on the Internet:
"70-80%
HUMIDITY. This is the most important factor for Nepenthes care. Although they can be acclimated to lower humidity levels, they really do their best in the 70-80% range. Most homes have less than ideal humidity growing Nepenthes."
Sounds like you may need to up the humidity a little. Britta is outside and in a dish of rain water. It's really humid right now where I am also. Are your pitchers indoors?
@SuzAnthophile thanks Suzanne!! I'm glad someone got the hidden meaning (Brita water pitchers) or maybe even the reference to the show Community. 😁
@JesssJungle yes mine are indoors. It’s too cold and not humid enough we’re I am to put them outside I think
I took a closer look at one of my pitchers and there are the very beginnings of new pitchers. But if they do grow into pitchers it seems like it will be couple months at least 🀞
@SFplantlover oh it looks so cool! 😍 I wonder if you could use a pebble tray to gather more humidity. πŸ€”
