rot


Question
hi! I've had my 3 Nepenthes for almost two years. They are all in the same pot. My plants have always thrived and done well, but over the past month they haven't been doing too good. All the pitchers have died, and none of them are forming new ones. Also, the leaves have started to rot from the bottom of the plant working progressives upward, but the leaves at the top continue to form.
I keep the plant in a sunny window, but provide extra light with a grow light. The temp is kept @ 70 degrees Fahrenheit and i keep the soil moist but not overly wet. I dont know what to do!!! what should i do?! thank you

Answer
Hi Sam,

You didn't mention which species you have.  That can be a factor sometimes.  I'd like you to send me a photo of your plants.  Include enough frame in the picture so I can see what your growing area looks like.  If the camera you're using doesn't focus close, then be sure to be far enough away for the subject to be in focus.  I have a couple of ideas, but I'm going to be shooting in the dark until I see your growing area.

Good Growing!
