Can't find the salty discharge. Is it on the peristome itself. Does this happen to all the pitchers?
Hello, yes, there do not seem to be many South Africans on the forum, thanks. Yes, the discharge is on the peristome itself, not the lid. So far every pitcher produced has the salty "nectar". The plant is still producing lower pitchers, so i don`t know if this is specific to them or not.
