Re: Am I too worried?
i think the best solution is to not feed it anything. just let nature take its course.
i used to feed my pitchers mealworms. the pitchers die even more quickly when i did that. btw, your pitcher plant looks healthy enough =) |

Re: Am I too worried?

Re: Am I too worried?
Looks fine too me.....My truncata at the moment is pitcherless....I always never get to have my truncata have more then 2 pitchers at a time...And nope they do not like trays...If they get too wet..In my own experience they have rust spots which sometimes causes my truncata not to pitcher..Also like paphio said medium are u using?..Anyways spotted the albo in the backgroud if it is an albo.

Re: Am I too worried?
I love and hate truncatas. Mine is currently killing one pitcher and producing another. I love their bronze peristome and spots but hate the pitcher dying quickly.
