Missing fragrance?

[Thazo]

I have noticed that my ventrata nepenthes' fragrance is decreasing and sometimes non-existent in its pitchers. Why is that? Should I be worried?

Nah, don't worry. Personally I haven't noticed any fragrance ever and it probably doesn't mean anything that you can't notice one now.

Well normally I can't smell it unless I put my nose to the pitcher, but it is a very nice floral smell when I can notice it. But it does appear that if I move the ventrata outside where it is warmer, it starts to get more fragrant again. I wonder if it has something to do with heat. My temp inside the house is 75 degrees fahrenheit, which is where the plant lives.

I do sometimes smell some sort of smell when i'm near my neps...This was most frequent when my miranda had large lower pitchers and 100++ of ants were getting caught all the time..Then once i accidently spilled a little of the dead mulch of ants from the pitcher and realised that the smell came from it

So the scent may be the digestive enzymes?
