In fact, it is a normal phenomenon that the cage of pitcher plant will wither once in 2-3 months. A leaf can only grow a cage, withered will grow out. But when the growing environment is not suitable, the cage will wither in advance, so we need to pay attention to the appropriate light temperature and water properly.
Now we will talk about watering. Improper watering will also cause the cage of pitcher plant to wither in advance. The time, amount and way of watering will affect the growth of pitcher plant.
pitcher plants have strict requirements on water content, and the watering time should be strictly controlled, which should not be too dense or not watered. Try to keep the soil moist. As for the time of watering, water twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Remember not to water at noon.
How to water
There are many ways of watering, such as watering, basin surface, spray and suction. pitcher plant is suitable for growing in moist but relatively loose soil, so basin surface type and immersion suction type are generally used for watering.
Basin surface watering: directly into the soil, try to avoid watering to flowers and leaves.
Immersion and suction watering: to avoid the loss of nutrients in the soil, immerse the basin into the water and make the soil moist.
Water quality requirements of pitcher plant
pitcher plants have low requirements for water quality. As long as they are not very dirty and do not contain bacteria, ordinary water can be used. But if we often use the method of soaking to water, it will cause the accumulation of salt, and there will be many yellow and white scales on the surface of the soil. The surface soil shall be replaced in time.
See, the watering method of pitcher plant is actually very simple. That's your personal reason why pitcher plant can't live. Those so-called excuses are for the lazy people, watering skills to learn!
