HELP! MY NEP MAY DYING! :((
 

Today I gave my Nepenthes Rebecca Soper a lot of water. Only sprayed on it with a water-sprayer thing. But when I came to pick it up 2 hours later I saw that one of the pitchers leaf (the one they use to block for rainwater) was pretty folded. It was bend down and seemed to be a little more weak or thin than it used to.

Can I do something to help my plant? What can I've done wrong? is it actually normal for Nepenthes to let some of the pitchers die or what? On my plant there's a lot of new pitchers to come, but I've not had it for so long so I don't know what's going on.

When I got it, there was a dried old pitcher hanging from the plant. I cut it off. Is this normal, and will the plant just live on?

Please help me, cause I don't want my Nepenthes to die.. :sad:

all nep will reach the time of dry.....if u want to keep it no dry....u can add some water into the pitch....it will longer the pitcher life

I see. Well I just hope it will live on. It has gotten pretty much sun the last days but it looks very healthy and it's just those two pitchers. It's been like this after I sprayed it with water today, in the garden. No sun today.
Will it live on?

Did the color at the bottom of the pitchers turn dark? if the answer is yes, then it could be due to overfeeding as i remember in the other thread you mentioned about smell from the pitcher. If not it could be a normal occurences where older pitchers dried up after some times as only two are affected. And no it will not harm the plant.

A few dead pitchers won't kill your plant. The pitchers are just like leaves. Dry leaves fall from trees and during autumn, but new ones always grow back.

Thanks everyone. It turned out that the lids / leaves went back to normal again. I think I was overfeeding it and now I don't feed it at all.
I re-potted it too and I saw that a lot of earth was in the pitchers so I cleaned the pitchers and filled them with a little rainwater so they would have some water to go on. I might also have given it too much water. I think I will give it water ever 3rd day..

Thanks again
