Im curious As do i cut off all the dead parts of the pitchers?
Hear is a Photo
I dont feel like taking another few photos, but yea, So IF the Top of it is dead should I cut it off? (That is a burn from last year On that little wing)
I'm conservative when it comes to cutting living tissue, especially if your plant only has a few leaves. While it may not be pretty, I find that my plants do better (especially when coming out of dormancy) if I keep the pitchers until they're about 65%+ dried out. I believe the portion of the dying leaf continues to photosynthesize, even if it can't catch insects. This seems to make a difference.
