Iβm losing a pitcher!
Why am I losing a pitcher!? Iβm 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 theyβre 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? Itβs 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

@Petite_Eureka Hi Erika, there are a few possible reasons for the dead pitcher, it could be due to light conditions (worth checking eg light meter app like Photone) or the change in temperature that resulted in the plant jettisoning the pitcher or the new growth you indicated. You could look at adding a mild diluted fertilizer (like a diluted orchid bloom fertilizer) to the pot to ensure it isnβt a nutrient deficiency as this could give it a boost. but I would hold of on this initially if it is growing three new pitchers. I assume this is an older leaf. A few older posts at #cpclubthursday discusses Nepenthes conditions with links.
@Petite_Eureka I know nothing about these. But Iβm going to tag some people that might. @SuperblyLilac @JesssJungle @learydarrel
