I have a mutant gubler that is growing rather large and I don't really like it. It makes ugly lidless peristomeless pitchers that don't function and just die. I want to get rid of it because its taking up valuble space in my grow chamber.
One simple word, if you want to get rid of it, since it is a mutant. Compost. Its heartwrenching to do to ANY Nepenthes, but you don't like it, and its messed up, toss it...or just grow it as a houseplant maybe.
Ooooh! I have an idea! Do experiments with it! See how much fertilizer it takes to cause mass toxicity....or fill the pitchers with milk....see if a piece of plastic will dissolve in the juice...lots of possibilities.
thats the thing I don't think its pitchers can even fuction normally. the opening is so small and deformed I can't fit much into it even though the pitcher itself is about 3.5"
I think I could try growing it as a house plant but it can barely pitcher in perfect conditions. I doubt it will do good in a sill situation. I'll see maybe I'll torch it tomorrow....
Or you look at it this way...Ooohh, COOL, a mutant!?! Instead of saying oh ^%#%$, WHY did god give me this mutant...
I say do something useful with it (NOT compost) even if you do not like it. How would you like to be thrown in a ditch just becuz you couldn't do anything useful?
