Clipping dead pitchers (Nepenthes)


Question
I have a Nepenthes Unknown, from a local nursery. I have your ebook and "Savage Garden" but I didn't find the answer in either. Should I clip the dead pitchers off?
Love your store and your plants always arrive beautiful and healthy.
Thanks
Julie

Answer
Hi Julie,

Clip away!  Our general rule of thumb is to clip them when you can't stand to look at them anymore.  If the leaf is still green, leave it.  It is still of value to the plant.


Good Growing!
