Sometimes it’s in the wrong soil. Those types of pitcher plants need spagnum moss soil so that their roots can breathe.

That is what it is in. Is there anything else it could be?

### Panini commented on 2025-07-29

Sometimes nepenthes go through a stage where the just make leaves, so if you cut off that top of the plant it will grow new mini plants thought it’s nodes under each leaf and grow much better

### Panini commented on 2025-07-29

That’s what I did for this one
