Hi peeps!
My pitcher plant, after being fed some rather large freeze dried crickets (I think they were too big given the size of my plant), are beginning to develop a stink. I'm growing him in a terrarium, and now it gives me a headache everytime I open it.
Is it safe to flush out the pitchers using pure water? Or do is there some important fluid in there that's vital to their health, that should not be flushed out? I'm just thinking of turning the pitchers sideways over a sink and then flooding them with pure water until the insides flow out.
Let me know what you think. Thanks.
