Nectar Threads

Does this happen to any other windowsill growers? I think it's pretty cool.

First time I've seen. Interesting indeed!

Is this the plants way of drooling over bugs through the window? LOL

Now THAT is wild! Maybe it's something that happens when you combine overproduction of nectar with low humidity?

Nice ! What is the RH% in your home ?

I have this N. sanguinea at my university campus, not my home. I've not measured the humidity in the office space where it is now. Ever since it started producing mature pictures it's been doing this even when I had it in a laboratory space previously. Some of my other Nepenthes at school do the same thing, though not quite as dramatically.

My thoughts exactly.
