I keep my pitcher plant in spagnum moss and maintain bog-like wetness. It never goes dry. And I only use distilled or rain water. It has two to three pitchers at all times. When one starts to die off, another always seems to be on the way. Even in winter. The roots are like black hairs. Same with my Venus fly traps. They both love bright light and need to stay moist.
Thanks for those tips! I tried moss 2 times but not with soaking moss. I can see if that helps. If not it seems to be happy in water…minus the non root growth 🤷🏻♀️😊🌿
Another safe alternative to CLR for cleaning the mineral deposits off glassware is using vinegar or apple cider vinegar. I also use a vinegar + water spray on the leaves to remove hard water deposits. Works beautifully and won't harm plants.
Hi Amanda, did you know that Nepenthies naturally have black roots? I wonder if it was really rotted? I had a really hard time with min when I first got it for several months... It had to have a major adjustment period where all of its pitures died also. lol. I put a little fertilizer in the last 2 dying pitures and then it grew 2 baby new pitures finally. The key to Nepenthesis is to only fertilize the pitures and not the roots ;-) That should keep it growing new pitures for you.
I actually didn’t know that when I chopped it. I know now 🙈. I still think it had something up with the roots because the leaves were wrinkly for a long time, even after watering. It didn’t seem like it was taking in water, no matter how much I watered it. Once I cut it and put it in water it plumped right back up. If mine roots and grows back I’ll definitely use your tips! 👏🌿😊
Hi Amanda!!!! I like your haircut very much!!!! It suits you!!!! Nice video. I also have some plants growing in water and love them. Kiss from Argentina. 🪴🌿
Aw thank you so much!! Can’t believe I cut that much off but if feels good! Glad you’re also having great luck with water plants! It just makes watering days so much easier. 😊🌿
It would be nice to have all "set it and forget it" plants. My only successful water propagation was a Syngonium which took several months to root in light weight soil (It's thriving now). I will have to experiment more. All part of parenting process. Take care! 🪴

I have most of my collection growing in water. I even took mother plants out of soil and have them growing great in water with mo problems.
Sounds like a dream! Watering days for you have to be so easy breezy 👏🌿
