The newest pitcher that opened up on my st gaya seems to have opened up early. The other pitcher that opened before it got fluid, finished filling out in the bottom, and finishes growing the wings before it opened. This one didn't, it doesn't have any fluid, the bottom isn't all the way widened out yet and the wings don't seem done growing. It seems to have grown a bit since it opened but still doesn't have any fluid. Is there any particular reason for this? Will it continue to grow into a full pitcher, and should I add distilled water to it?

I have added a bit of distilled water with Maxsea in it to help with growth since inside and no real bugs. I am not aware of any issues, but would wait to see if anyone has better advice.

Thanks, I won't add maxea, because it is in a greenhouse with plenty of bugs. In fact it has already caught a few, there is just nothing to digest them.
