See if you can ask Wolfen. She has a lot!

Thank you. I responded on her other post about how i rehab pitchers. Clip the dying traps, soak in a water tray (distilled/RO/rain water), then water a few days after it dries up. Fertilize a low dilution of maxsea, and good light and humidity.

You’re so awesome!!

See on the top of the traps are crispy I would clip those off and water it with distilled water I like to water it through the bottom. Also keep the humidity up

If you’re like me and can’t control humidity easily, try misting it twice a day. It helps keep the pitchers happy and mimics the humid jungle air they love. Always use distilled water since tap water can really mess them up over time. Make sure the soil stays moist but not soggy. Mine started bouncing back once I got those basics right.
