I noticed the article says "these pitcher plants only eat leaves". I know that was a conjecture in the Nepenthes of Borneo book but now that is confirmed? Should I be putting oak leaf mold into the pitchers? Mine naturally catch a few of the crickets put in for the crabs.
Very beautiful indeed. Wow!! The miracles of nature eh? An ecosystem in a small pitcher. BTW....what do they do when the pitchers die out? Move to the next one? ;p What if it already has a resident? Wait for the next new one to open?
I'd be willing to bet these guys would live on Springtails, cos even small fruit fly species might be too big for them. I'll let you all know if I locate any for sale! LOL
