Hey question my pitcher plant has one pitcher that is completely brown after feeding it. Is this something to be concerned about?

It’s common for over fed pitchers to die on a nepenthes plant. What did you feed it? How often are you feeding it? Unless it is kept in a terrarium it is really not necessary to manually feed, and will more often end it dead pitchers. Temp

I fed it a wasp that was in my house and now it’s turning brown

Remove the pitcher to the leaf once the bottom of the pitcher has browned out. Don’t worry about feeding it! As long as you have the right light and humidity and substrate it will thrive.
