Default Re: Pitchers getting smaller

Hi all,
Since Kit1212's Nep problem seems to be similar to mine, I thought I might want to raise a question concerning pitcher size. If, instead of putting out bigger pitchers the plant does the opposite? I have albomarginatas and sanguineas experiencing this problem. Their pitchers get progressively smaller and stop growing altogether. I would not think full sun is the best solution as mirabilis is sitting next to them which is receiving full sun. I have even repotted them in media of different composition and wetness. The result is just the same. My 2 albos perished within a year. The plants just shrink with each progressive leaf. Same goes for amps which I have given up trying as well after 5 attempts. I know there is no direct solution to this problem but hopefully there is somethingthere that I haven't noticed or tried. Thanks in advance!!
