My sarracenia has these small, wispy grass-like growths coming from only one point. Is it part of the plant? Or is something else growing on it that I need to get rid of? It's gotten a lot taller.

Does anyone know? This is my first sarracenia and I don't know much about them.
The odd coloring on the non opened pitchers is just due to moving the light. I am aware of the light burn on the dormant leaves also.
Thanks!

Just grass. Go ahead and pull it if you want.

I'm just concerned cause it seems it's growing from the crown. I wonder how the heck it got there!

It’s probably from the sphag/peat.
