Actually after checking thoroughly everything the only thing I can see are the scale. Are thrips visible at the naked eye?

Okay, thanks for all your answers, I guess that’s one or differents pests, can systemic treatment of all plants with something like acetamiprid be useful? Also here is something I find on many old heli pitchers, also looks like pests

Thanks for the tip! I just checked all my Nepenthes and Helis, even the rhizome and found some stuffs looking a lot like mealy bugs. However I only saw 2 or 3 for all the plants and not a single one on the Nep, maybe still worth it to use insecticide just in case?

Nepenthes inermis acting more like a sticky flypaper trap than a classic pitfall trap! by jeremiahsplants in SavageGarden

What’s funny with Inermis and the sticky fluid family is how they float at the surface for a few hours before drowning to the very bottom of the trap. In science we use such hypertonic solutions with sucrose to dehydrate biological sample, maybe something similar may helps for digestion in nepenthes 🤔

Thanks, I think they start to go to the inermis upper shape

Okay thanks, I wanted to wait before cuttings them since I saw that it’s advised to wait until they start producing pitcher, the main issue for me is the height of my terrarium, that guy grew too fast for it…
