I just got this plant so I’m learning how to care for it. Please make more videos on Nepenthes/pitcher plants. You are the only one that actually shows how to trim it. Thank you so much for showing how to properly trim the pitcher plant!
More videos upcoming ;)
Thank you you're the only one who actually trimmed the plant.
As usual great advice and very helpful!!!!you are the only person who takes all my doubts away!!!!
Glad you find them useful. Happy growing!!
Super helpful!
This was very helpful, subscribed :)
Awesome, thank you!
Hi there, I have a Nepthenes that I’ve had for about 8 years now, repot every few years when necessary but it was getting long and spindly tendrils so I cut it back by half and it’s now doubled in size, similar to what yours has done at the base, it loves a bit of care every few years.
Great info, thanks!
I am glad you found it useful
Thank you, great videos!
What if the leaf is half green and half dead. Do you just cut half the leaf? And if you do cut it in half. Will the same leaf grow? Or no?
Awesome! I was wondering about cutting off the drying pitchers on my nepenthes but I figured that I shouldn't since they still have digestive juices and bugs in them. I guess I'll leave them be.
Thank you for the info this happened to my pitcher plant recently a new pitcher was forming and all of a sudden I see it drying up turning black
Might be due to the summer weather in my area
this is COOL
Cutting back the top of the pitcher is really only good for aesthetics, what it does it makes it harder for the pitcher to hold its water. Keeping the top allows it retain humidity inside the pitcher and retain all that water. The pitchers have the ability to fill the pitchers by themselves, pulling in water from the roots and adding enzymes that break down bugs. This dries up faster and doesn't refill much when you cut the top. It needs to be able to retain the humidity and moisture.
Merci pour l'explication
thanks for the advice ! very helpful and to the point.
Brilliant to cut only the dead part of the pitcher. I will do this tomorrow
Thank you. Also will the part grow back if you cut only the pitcher?
Hi! It won't grow back, but you still have the leaf base for photosynthesis. Thanks for watching
We need more videos.
I have nephensis thank for this 🙏
I am glad I can help 😄
If you cut the pitcher off from a leaf that’s color green will the pitcher grow back eventually on that same leaf?
That would be nice, but the answer is "No". Once the pitcher withers, the leaf won't grow a new one.
I have a very very large Nepenthes pitcher plant. When I first got it, it produced tons and tons of new pitchers but now, it just grow lots of leaves and no new pitchers thus, the old pitchers are also dying. I keep it in half shad half sun. And I give I distilled water. What should I do? I have fed it some big bugs so I think that is the problem. Oh and if the pitcher dries up, do we have to fill it with RO water ?
I think skipping the feeding for a bit might be a good idea. Also, could it be lacking enough light/ humidity?
There is no need to fill up the pitchers with water. The plant will produce its own liquid. Here is more info venusflytrapworld.com/should-i-fill-my-pitcher-plant-with-water/
@@venusflytrapworld uhmm the humidity is fine. It’s just over feeding I guess
@@kyawthuta9058 how is your plant now?
@@srnbrehman4695 pitcherless 😭😭😭
I don’t cut the dying/dead pitchers or leaves at all, because I just let the plant do its own thing, I don’t really intervene with that kind of stuff, my big ventrata has a lot of dead leaves and they are staying, becuase that’s how it is in the wild,
Thanks for sharing! I agree that trimming is not required. Trying to recreate the conditions in the wild is always a solid approach.
Hi.
Hey there!
I think that cutting the dead leaves has more with the plant not getting too much nutrients once the leaves decompose. But yeah, plants in the wild can survive (but how long?)
What potting medium do you use?
I used approx 3:2 peat moss plus perlite.
is the top part of the pitcher going to grow back when cut off or is just going stay short?
It will stay short and eventually turn brown and die. It is a normal part of the plants growth pattern.
Do I bring inside during winter ?, am I supposed to cut the plant back so it can go dormant?
This variety doesn't go dormant
Nepenthes don't go dormant and they are indoor plants
So, I'm not a plant guy. I got a pitcher plant, it's pitchers are green and kind of pinkish around the rim. The pitchers are dying, or withering or whatever you want to say. Certain parts of the leafs, and random spots look like they have burn marks. I don't want it to die, and I don't know what to do.
It may be that your plant is either getting too much direct sunlight or not enough water. Try moving it to another spot or watering it more and see if it helps
The pitchers are supposed to age over time, and turn brown. Just cut the pitchers off when they are completely brown. Your plant isn't dying. Water it with distilled water and spritz them in between waterings. Keep the moss moist at all times.
Your voice is giving me ASMR vibes :) pitcher plant ASMR would be cool
i have a really small pitcher and my main concern is that what should i do if there are too many bugs? do i cut the pitcher off or do i use something to remove the bugs inside? also, do i need to put water in the pitchers sometimes? ty
Don't put water in the pitchers and leave the bugs inside. If you think its getting too many bugs, just move the plant to a different location. These plants do not like being touched and if you start removing bugs from the pitchers they may die.
They can catch many bugs! Dont worry about removing them 🐛
Why does the leaves dry?
And the pitcher get brown like this
Good question. It really depends. Some dried up leaves are just part of the regular growing process. Other might be due to low humidity levels, or improper conditions.

Can you plant pitcher plants in potting soil?
No
Regular potting soil has a lot of nutrients in it that most plants need, but carnivorous plants like pitcher plants naturally grow in soil that is very low in nutrients, so regular potting soil will kill them
are you paraguayan?
