bought a while ago a pitcher plant, its pitschers withered and since it hasnt grown any new ones, otherwis it looks healthy although it still quite small.
Any ideas on how to encourage it to grow its pitchers?
Pitcher plant not growing pitchers?
Hey Felipe,
I would like to grow some variety of pitcher plant or Venus fly trap myself. So, I have been looking at several types and growing needs. For me, they grow natural here in South Carolina outside, so I have some advantage.
The variety does matter, as they have different and very particular requirements for growth. Do not use TAP water, only rain water, and no fertilizers - typically requirements for all carnivorous plants. If you are using Tap water, stop.
They grow in poor soils, which is why they eat bugs (protein) as a way to supplement their nutrients.
