FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hi again,
My Dana's Delight pitcher plant has been producing some bigger pitchers lately, and a week after they are formed they topple over and lean almost horizontally. The Pitchers have caught insects ranging from Flies and Ants to lightning bugs, and I'm not sure if they may be weighing the pitchers down.

I'm just wondering if this is something that can be fixed, as they are newly formed pitchers and it was kind of sad to see them fall down so fast..

You can take coated wire that is for supporting bamboo or something similar and place your pitcher inside this

I had the problem due to rain, because it is almost a daily thing here, so every pitcher fel over, I could only correct it when growing them away from rain.
They naturally would have tall grass as support, but not here

You just need some pitcher supports. I get mine at a local garden center.

If they are filling with water they will fall over, they are not designed to have water of any great quantity in them. Just give them some sticks and wire as supports and they will be fine, although they shouldnt get that much water into them from general rainfall to fall over.

Cheers
