Pitcher plant
 

I have a pitcher plant that is growing lots of new pitchers, old pitchers are half dried up, when do you remove old pitchers or do you. ? Do they like to be misted.? I have only one in the orchid shadehouse and it seems to be doing fine. I have baby lizards hiding in the leaves trying to catch the baby flies before they enter the pitcher. Rather interesting how life evolves.
:biggrin:

Only familiar with pings and droseras, good luck though.

I'd check out this site: The Carnivorous Plant FAQ

And consider posting in the Off Topic section of the board, where you might get more views about this.

Thanks, I hadn't thought of that, I wasn't getting any answers in social group. I'll check out that web sight. I saw a beautiful dutchman's pipe the other day is that in this family?

I have a Nepenthes alata that's planted in plain ole coir. It gets thoroughly watered every 2 to 3 days...not to the point of being soggy, but just evenly moist. I avoid letting the potting medium completely dry out. My plant loves humidity and misting and a little dappled sunlight. My mister conked out so now I just hose down the foliage once or twice daily. The pitchers stay healthier and stay around longer if they're kept about 1/3 full of water. Older pitchers will naturally die back as new ones develop. I clip the drying pitchers off where their stem attaches at the tip of the leaf. Fertilizer is not required if the pitchers are doing their job. ;)

Thanks;) I wasn't sure where to cut them, I start misting mine, it has several new pitchers. Do you have a Dutchmans pipe? :biggrin:

Dutchman Pipe's are not carnivorous plants. :) They're good at fooling laymen though!
The Carnivorous Plant FAQ: Aristolochia (Dutchman's pipe)

:rofl: Guess, who got fooled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't have a Dutchman's Pipe, but my friend has one. Their blooms are awesome and look carnivorous but they're not.
