I don't know how it expects to catch anything with a pitcher like this. Was it growing a vine and then halfway through changed its mind and started forming a pitcher on the end? Wtf Ventrata lmao

Nepenthes grow long tendrils with pitchers on the end, all of the tendrils can form pitchers. Nepenthes don't usually make tendrils with no pitchers unless they just started the vining stage of their life. To help the pitchers grow you can spray them with water every day or so.

Huh I see, didn't know they had a vining stage. Oh but trust me I do not want any more pitchers. The whole plant is weighed down by the amount of them lol! But like, what's with the weird shape of the pitcher is what I was wondering. It's been growing bigger while staying in that shape!

Yeah, it just makes me chuckle a bit trying to picture how it'll turn out XD lol Thanks!

Yes I sure will lol! And it's true, I was emptying out a bit of the liquid from its pitchers the other day to keep it from being weighed down too much, and got a gross surprise from one of the older pitchers with a deformed lid; a big thing slid out and I looked in the cup to find the most disgusting, dead, big, long-legged freaky spider I've ever seen floating around. Yuck! But I was also impressed!

I can so relate Once I found a big beetle in one of my neps and I was so grossed out as that nep was in my bedroom! (and was squirming pretty close to the exit of the pitcher; I so wanted it dead!) sometimes carnivorous plant are just too good, lol

Nice lol! Mine used to make ones like that a few months ago when the lids weren't forming properly, and now lately it's been making small-sized pitchers! XD They're quite funny sometimes, aren't they? :3

Any updates on that weird looking pitcher? Ah sorry my reply is sooo overdue but I think it turned out alright in the end lol, just a little curved! (From what I could tell by looking through older pics on my phone) Here, I didn't have any pics showing that pitcher by itself again, but I think I found it in ones of the whole plant
