Hi, I’m new to owning nepenthes but not to carnivorous plants in general, I was wondering if anyone can help me with this one, it’s from a garden centre and was very neglected, I’ve been trying to nurse it back to health but it’s still struggling, I’ve changed its soil to a better mix and kept it under the same conditions as my other two but it just won’t perk up, any advice to help it recover? It’s a nepenthes gaya btw
I’m no expert on these, but I do have the same one. Mine took foreeever to settle in. Its been 3+ months now and it’s finally starting to produce healthy pitchers. I also repotted mine back then (my carnivores are all in straight sphagnum moss with the water reservoir at least half way full at all times). For the past 3 months its put out lots of new leaves but as soon as the pitcher would start to mature it would go black, the leaves stayed fine though. This past week its finally started to mature its first pitcher and has 3-4 more on the way. Its also under a good grow light for 10hrs/day. So I think its just a waiting game. I would cut the flower off though so its not putting energy into it.
