dying Nepenthe

[nm]

I recieved a putcher plant as a gift and now it is dying.
Can anyone please tell me what can I do ?

[WillyCKH]

I think it'd help if you could upload a photo? And you mean nepenthes, or sarracenia?

[H2O]

Pictures will be the easiest and fastest way to get a good answer.

Thank you for your quick response.
Here is the photo.

Doesn't look like its dieing.
What kind of conditions do you have it in. Like light hummity watering?

[nm]

It is beside window(west), so it gets more light in the afternoon. I try to keep watering and keep the soil wet. I changed the pot 2 months a go.
But there is no puther comming and leaves getting brown and dropping.

Try misting it twice a day or more. Nepenthes like high humidity

[morphman]

To me it looks like symptoms of low humidity and light and also tap water. Are you using tap water ?

Also they are "pitcher" plants not "putcher".

[H2O]

This could be a symptom of low humidity like others have said but the base cause of this is because your plants roots aren't supporting that leaves it has. This can be caused by a variety of reasons, underwatering where the plant just doesn't have the water needed, overwatering where the roots rot off and aren't there to take up water, low humidity when the leaves grew in a high humidity environment and then changed to low humidity. Repotting often shocks the roots as well and can give these symptoms.

The tip looks fairly good still so if you continue to give it good light, water and humidity it should be fine.

Humidity is only factor when growing Nepenthes, although it greatly helps, if you have good light, temperature, water etc your plant will still grow and pitcher (although somewhat less constant then in a high humidity growing area) my Nepenthes platychila has flowered for several years and produces upper pitchers just hanging in my window.

Thank you so much for all the advice.
I use distilled water and for soil I used sphagnum peat moss. I read somewhere that I have to mix the sphagnum peat moss and horticultural sand. I couldn't find horticultural sand so I just used the sphagnum peat moss.
Is that a problem?
And, twice a day. how much water?
Can I use a plastic bag or something to keep the humidity?
And this pot does not have any hole. I think it is good for high humidity! Is it bad?

[WillyCKH]

That sounds water logging... I'm not the Nep expert but undrained pot and pure peat soil mix seems to be too heavy.
If you don't have sand you can get perlite, they are available at Rona, Canadian tires, Home depots, etc.

Mist as much as you want, twice a day is only a suggestion; it shouldn't harm your plant unless you're drowning it.

[H2O]

Willy is correct, pure peat in any conditions is just too heavy, combined with an undrained container you probably are running into root rot.

At this point your best bet is going to be to repot into peat (preferably Sphagnum Moss) and perlite into a drained pot, 6 inch will probably be fine. If you find there are no roots left when you repot you may want to consider taking cuttings from the main vine. This serves two purposes, to reduce top growth that the roots can't support and to "backup" your plant incase the root mass is too rotted to come back. Best case scenario is the root stock survives, the cuttings take, and you end up with a much bushier plant.

As for misting, a general rule is that you can mist as much as you want al long as the leaves dry between misting and the is little to no water left on the leaves overnight (less important inside, more for terrarium and greenhouse growers).

Thank you so much.
I have Crystal Star orchid mix at home. It is like wood peices. Can I mix that with peat moss.

Here is the picture: www.dropbox.com/s/u5oa1mlegmhpk7o/IMG_20160629_173318.jpg?dl=0

Do you mean the vine will grow or it is garbage if I cut it.

Thank you so much

[H2O]

The orchid mix will help but you will still need to put some perlite in the mix. There are options not to use perlite but the alternatives are much harder to find. Pretty much any garden centre should carry it.

As for cuttings, read this.
