something about basal...

[MrFus]

Im not sure 100% but I think I read here something related with basal shots and the need to remove them from the main vine or this will become weak and die, or something like that...

I just search and I cant found the post, so Im afraid Im just having a ALIEN fake implanted memory about this.

Ok... well I ask this because I just check my plants today and I see this on my ampullaria:

I Know the ampullaria really grow more on a rosette configuration with a bounch of pitchers on grown level, so this group of small pitchers are normal and should dont represent any problem for the ampullaria?

That's completely normal. Leave it.

I would say congrats not cut it off, those could be life savers like it was on my plant.

 

[MrFus]

OK!

So I guess the only thing here is wait a little bit so this new pitchers madurate and then move the plant to a bigger pot!

This one is the favorite of my mom, she will be really happy when she come back and discover how big has it become.

No problem here! Basal pitchers are one of the attactions of ampularia.
