Normal witheringGenerally, the pitcher plant cage will wither about 2 to 3 months after it is formed. This is a normal phenomenon and there is no need to worry. For pitcher plants, like other plants, the cage is equivalent to the flower. Flowers will wither, and the cage is no exception. It’s just that the pitcher plant’s cage lasts longer. It should be noted that generally one leaf of a pitcher plant can only grow one pitcher. Improper environmentIn addition to normal withering, pitcher plants may also experience cage withering due to an unsuitable growing environment. This is an adverse effect and requires constant attention to light, temperature, etc. Generally, the lighting is not suitable, such as strong light, which mostly happens in summer. The strong light and high temperature will easily burn the pitcher plant. The first symptom is that the older cages are sunburned and dehydrated. In severe cases, the entire plant will be burned, including the cage. Therefore, it is best to provide a suitable environment and sufficient light for the growth of pitcher plants so that they can form larger cages. Sufficient light must be ensured, but shading should be provided at noon. There may also be an effect of temperature. Nepenthes does not have very high temperature requirements and is not afraid of heat. However, some pitcher plants are not cold-resistant. When the temperature is too low, their growth will slow down. In severe cases, the plants will be frostbitten, so you need to pay attention to keeping warm. Of course, if the temperature is too high and the air humidity is low, the pitcher plant cage will easily wither. Therefore, it is necessary to cut off the withered cages, then increase watering and increase the air humidity. |
