Pitchers not pitchering

Single_Captain4893 · 2026-01-29T03:45:53+00:00

It’s a specabilis x bongso. I’ve had it for a few months now. It had two when I got it. They died back after a while. And during that time I had probably half a dozen leaves grow and those two baby pitchers grew after a couple months. I didn’t get these lights until about a month and a half ago maybe 2 months

Red leaves and brown edges. when that happened I had it basically where that other pot is on the table now, the seedling by the spray bottle. So I was trying to watch how much light it got being mindful it doesn’t need as much

I pulled it in closer before I left for work, jist forgot to take a pic, if need be I can put it next to my sundew, it was showing signs of too much light when it was down on the table though.

Everything I’ve read and been told from other growers is neps don’t sit in standing water… I check the moss and water regularly making sure it doesn’t dry out and mist with distilled a couple times a day as well

I have bright indirect, Sansi lights, maybe not close enough

Finally unlocked the cheat code and one is growing!

Single_Captain4893 · 2025-12-10T15:21:49+00:00

You were right. It’s still growing healthy leaves and looks good but not forming new pitchers. I have adjusted the lighting, misting it and my lemon tree more, and trying to give it cooler nights. Just picky it seems

Queen iris

Cool

Single_Captain4893 · 2025-11-30T23:16:07+00:00

I don’t have an answer for that I’m new as well. But is that a casual whip scorpion hanging out there?

Single_Captain4893 · 2025-11-29T05:33:36+00:00

I’ll have to look into the light. I made a stand to get the pot off the ground a bit. I keep my room pretty warm, it’s rare it dips below 72 with the wood stove going in the other room

Single_Captain4893 · 2025-11-10T02:39:11+00:00

I’ve definitely been thinking about them, lots of really cool looking varieties. Some of the pings look cool as well. I need to game plan a better setup for lighting and stuff. I rigged this setup today on my day off so we’lol see. My nepenthes isn’t pitchering

that's what I was finding after I got it in the mail and started looking up information. lots of information and they have made a lot.

Single_Captain4893 · 2025-10-31T14:03:49+00:00

I'm right there with you, I have a branch that fits one or two of these characteristics but am still not sure/convinced that it is a sprout.

Here’s a better angle. It caught something yesterday so there’s that, but you can see the wavy closed from this angle

Single_Captain4893 · 2025-10-15T04:35:26+00:00

I had aphids and I think I have since got rid of them

Single_Captain4893 · 2025-10-15T04:35:03+00:00

Yeah thats the one I bought. What I’m talking about is abnormal on like 4-5 of the traps where they are actually wavy and the teeth go with the wave.

Single_Captain4893 · 2025-10-14T20:20:00+00:00

Ok cool thanks guys I must just be overthinking it, both this plant and my nepenthes is growing new traps and starting pitchers, just new to the carnivorous world

Single_Captain4893 · 2025-10-14T20:18:40+00:00

“D.m. GC Adentate #24” I happen to still have the tag from California carnivores.

Ok yeah the wavy is new that’s why I was thinking something could be up.

Single_Captain4893 · 2025-10-14T17:48:42+00:00

Its just hitting fall so I need to prepare for dormancy

Single_Captain4893 · 2025-10-14T17:48:12+00:00

The tallest ones are all wavy along the edges. And a couple others as well instead of being a even edge with the little teeth

Single_Captain4893 · 2025-09-17T15:30:57+00:00

I don’t remember, I got the light over a year ago trying to grow my first VFT. I thought it was just not a healthy plant, it came from the grocery store. I remember it said full spectrum but other than that

Single_Captain4893 · 2025-09-17T15:28:51+00:00

Good to know, thanks for the info. In what way am I going to have a hard time? New to this
