i dont think he did anything to the pitcher other than not notice the one inflating in another until it was too late to take action.
Now I see how the picture is relevant lol... The pitcher is stretched out a lot. How did you do that? I tried making a thin waistline on a ventrata pitcher and it got a tiny holy in it.. I know there has to be a better way to do it. Perhaps a thin thread around the pitcher would be best? And how did you make the pitcher elongated? Did you use a bottle or something?
Did anything ever come of this? IMO it's a fascinating idea. While some may call it pointless mutilation it's better than this...
lol wow. just wow
this is going down the route of square watermelons haha the plants grow how they have evolved to grow. and that is where their beauty rests imo. imma have to start a nepenthes rights group or just kill pineapple
I was thinking of something really simple, just a couple sheets of thin plastic cut to shape. I was originally going to suggest cardboard, but come to think of it, cardboard wouldn't fare too well in a growing environment. Just cut two somewhat matching pieces of plastic, fit them to the pitcher, and tape the edges together. Do allow some space inside for the pitcher to inflate some more if it wants to.
For shaped pitchers, just remember that the modified trap might be a little stressed and brittle. I wouldn't suggest a mold that has to be cut off. Pre-cut it first, and then tape it or attach it is some other easy-to-adjust-and-remove method.
