I got my Nepenthes Ventricosa 'Hot Lips' in the mail today and naturally the was no liquid in the pitchers. My question is this, will those pitchers reproduce the digestive liquid again or with I have to wait until it produces new pitchers??
If you also gently shake the traps it simulates a bug being caught and trying to get out of the pitcher, which then triggers the plant to produce more digestive enzymes. This won't load up the pitcher with fluid, but it would help get some digestion going if you add just a little bit of distilled water.
