New convert to Nepenthes
 

:smile:I had a Nepenthes Allata (so the label says!) as a gift last summer. It has thrived in my conservatory until the cold weather arrived when it was moved into the house. I repotted it after about 2 months into sphagnum moss and it has never looked back. At the moment it has about 20 pitchers in various states of freshness from very new to old and withered. As a complete novice I am unsure what to do with the withered parts - do I cut them off or leave them to decompose naturally. Any advice would be welcome. Thank you.
PS I apologise if this subject has already been covered in another thread.

Welcome to the forum. The plants are not to fussy about how you look after them. I trim the dead traps and leaves off as they go brown. If you prefer a natural look then you can leave them on. If the area is very humid and you think they may be susceptible to fungal attack then cut off dead traps and leaves. Cheers.

I personally trim them off at the tip of the leaf blade when they are completely brown. It's really a matter of preference. If you can't stand the sight of browning pitchers, then cut cut cut! :D
