Hello
Let me start the post saying the plant isn’t unhealthy in any shape or form.
An older pitcher on my st Gaya had a little hole in it from who knows what. It has opened up (not all the way I think), but no peristome is flared out.
All the other pitchers have normal peristomes
I was wondering if the plant recognizes a defect and stopped working on that pitcher, or is that too complex for a plant?
Thanks

Yes, that's probably the case. I had something similar happen to my miranda. A few weeks ago it had a pitcher that was about to start inflating when I accidentally crushed part of it. Since then a number of other tendrils have dropped and started producing pitchers, but the one I damaged has gone almost completely unchanged.

Plants are capable of some pretty complex things
