Rotting Nepenthes Pitcher
Hi everyone!
In the past few hours one of the pitchers on my nepenthes has become soft and brown from the lid down.
The plant is in the bathroom and has a tray beneath it to catch water draining from the soil.
I am aware that sitting in water is not healthy for nepenthes but the pot has tall feet which raise the soil out of the water.
Any advice one what I should do?

@Kileskus It’s a natural process! They all turn brown after they have either been used up or the juice has been poured out of it. I clip the brown ones off myself! It triggers the plant to create more pitchers! Just make sure you don’t let the roots sit in water and the medium is a good constant moist not soaked. They must have humidity, and a lot of it. I mist mine 2-3 times a day. It’s a beautiful plant! Congratulations! 🪴
