hello! i have a nepenthes pitcher plant who was doing really well a few months ago, but then the leaves started dying. i think i might have forgotten to water at some point. i pruned back all the dead leaves, but he hasn't pushed out any new leaves or pitchers for over a month. i recently repotted him into this smaller pot and used new substrate. when i repotted him, i noticed he had no roots but the stem didn't feel rotted. i hope the smaller pot will encourage more root growth since the other pot may have been too large. i also removed it from the water tray and placed it in my carnivorous terrarium that receive bright direct light for 12-14 hours. I heard that pitcher plants don't like to stay as wet as sundews, so i've recently been watering every 2-4 days. any help with be appreciated!!!

    Not sure about the nepenthes, but it looks like one of your sundews may have aphids on it (stunted one to the left of your pitcher plant in the second pic) i’d check that out and remove it asap so they don’t spread if it does have them.

      yes this one has been giving me trouble too!!! It's weird because the two cape sundews beside it are thriving. I pruned off all the leaves a while ago because they got dirt on them, but it hasn't grown as all since. I'm not sure exactly what I should look for on the leaves. I do see a bunch of springtails in the soil but unsure about the leaves themselves
