Default Re: Truncata problem

My xHookeriana is producing giant pithers though and no other plants seems to be having this problem in my collection other than truncata.

Hmm. So it's common for certain species? That sure is interesting.

Hey,

It's normal for a pitcher to grow after the lid pops open. The pitcher will continue to grow and form normally, but the lid will look small and deformed; it's not a bad sign in any way. Usually, this happens when the plants is exposed to stress - usually heat stress, or after repotting, or when the air and/or media get too dry. But it's better to have a nice-looking pitcher with a shriveled lid than no pitcher at all!
