The ...No the pitchers are an extension of the leaf. The plants do flower though, but either form male or female parts only, so won't self seed. You'd need both male and female flowering plants to create viable seed.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11311361025445420853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573109756175117560.post-3794772238797255982016-01-10T16:24:39.830-05:002016-01-10T16:24:39.830-05:00Yes!

Constant new pitchers on these feel like the equivalent of constant flowers on anything else. <br /><br />A lot of the time the developing tendrils will seek out humid spots to lay the pitchers on, usually a neighboring pots soil here. What most likely happened was that there was still water in the older pitcher and when the new one grew, it thought it found a good spot until it couldn't inflate all the way and got stuck, lol.<br /><br />If you pot yours up in mostly inorganic media, or a mix that doesn't break down easily, you don't have to go through the trouble of refreshing all of the media for 3-4 years at a time, (provided you use only rain, RO, or distilled water on them.) The sphagnum breaks down 1st in my mix, but even after 2 years it was still ok when I did this repot. If it wasn't for the fact that this plant was having an issue, I wouldn't have bothered refreshing all of it like I did. They really hate being disturbed. Nepenthes are happiest when left in one spot they can adjust to and then left alone.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11311361025445420853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573109756175117560.post-21182437502519614122012-10-18T12:54:45.030-04:002012-10-18T12:54:45.030-04:00Awesome post Melody!

Holy roots alright; that's an impressive root system going on down there, at least you know the roots are healthy. I don't know much about N. but it looks good to me; the pitchers look great & plentiful, although you're right, it prob. does appreciate the repot. Hope it solves the problem. That's weird about the pitcher growing on top of the old one huh? Kinda cool! :)Lithopslandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06550514571430359240noreply@blogger.com
