Help me save my pitcher plant please 🙏  
I repotted it in sphagnum moss and perlite as I was directed by the internet it didn’t want to make any pitchers so i thought it needed some fertilizer was told i could use a low dose orchid fertilizer and gave it two spritz of 0.2 orchid fertilizer then watered it good I then left it with my mom under a grow light for a week and well…

In my experience the roots are extremely sensitive to nutrients, so I only fertilize a tiny amount into a pitcher. As for not producing pitchers, 2 common reasons are insufficient light, and focusing on root growth. I'm sure others can provide more information

Well that crosses out light cause it sits by a big bright window and has a grow light so maybe I over fertilized

Too much water small pot repot to bigger trim dead leaves and wait

#### Sagetheplant replied on 2025-05-12

Are you sure the pot is too small? Because when I looked when repotting it the roots are not that super big

#### Kappllow replied on 2025-05-12

My pitcher is in a 7.5 cm pot, I don't think the pot is too small
