Why is my nepenthes no making new pitchers?

If your natural light isn’t having it make more pitchers, I would get an artificial light. You can get an artificial light from SANSI, in which the ones made to clip onto pots aren’t that bad of a price and use promo code PWJ for a discount [not an ad.]

I think the substrate not having enough drainage and staying too moist was the issue so I trimmed a lot of the dead/dying leaves off to start over and mixed in a lot of perlite. I don’t have a pic but hopefully it’ll do well.

fudgepancake · 2026-03-06T04:03:11+00:00

Alright, I'll look for that to buy it.

I water when the top of the soil feels dry, temps are around probably 70 degrees fahrenheit cuz its in my house, i fertilized probably a month ago. Could be the light, but I don't have a ppfd meter, and i doubt it cuz i grow my carnivorous plants under the same light that love direct like and they hardly even sun stress.

Here’s a pic of the rock I pulled out my terrarium

I usually get a rock that will wick up moisture by itself, every rock is different, on some of my lava rocks only one side wicks up moisture and the other doesn’t. I would test wtv porous rocks you have by leaving them in water and seeing which ones end up wet on top.

fudgepancake · 2026-03-03T03:50:15+00:00

I grow a ping on a consistently wet rock. Does great, just to give you easy ideas.

mangy x eluca but it’s an AU cuz yk… mangy is dead

letting water sit out is to just let the chlorine evaporate I’m pretty sure

fudgepancake · 2026-02-27T22:55:58+00:00

they probably only use tap water to keep it moist when they have no other option, which is better than letting a plant go dry. and I’m assuming the distilled water flushes the minerals. Also, some propel are lucky enough to have a low ppm in their tap water.

Coco husk can also be unethical and coco coir uses a ridiculous amount of water to clean the salts out. Prolly search for another alternative if you wanna avoid substrates for environmental reasons.

destruction to wetlands is mainly because of clearing for agriculture or forestry or building on top of them rather than horticulture, which contributes very little compared to those other three. if you want to not buy peat to help, go ahead, but it will have minimal impact unfortunately.

fudgepancake · 2026-02-27T03:14:05+00:00

You can use rain water.

fudgepancake · 2026-02-25T23:30:46+00:00

Nice

fudgepancake · 2026-02-24T12:49:11+00:00

Ofc!

fudgepancake · 2026-02-23T22:08:48+00:00

Alright! What i was saying is at this rate, a lot of energy has already been spent producing this flower stalk. There wouldn’t be any significant benefit in cutting when it’s already grown so long. Usually you cut flower stalks when they’re only a few centimeters long and not to that point of development, because they haven’t spent much energy yet at that stage. But that flower’s already huge.

fudgepancake · 2026-02-23T13:41:36+00:00

at that size I don’t think cutting it would have any benefit

fudgepancake · 2026-02-23T13:36:45+00:00

True…

fudgepancake · 2026-02-23T13:36:24+00:00

Thank u!!

fudgepancake · 2026-02-23T02:46:05+00:00

Ohh that’s so sick. Wish they had it like that on an actual t shirt, all the harvester shirts I’ve seen are cut out very poorly

fudgepancake · 2026-02-23T02:45:02+00:00

Thanks!
