Hi guys,
Recently, I noticed my Nepenthes has a lot of ants inside the trap but there is not much digestive fluid inside the traps. Is it not looking good? What should I do? Or do I just leave it like that and let nature take its course.
Hope to see your replies soon

If the ants cannot get out, I wouldn't worry too much, the plant will slowly digest them. If you want, you could put a few drops of distilled water in to help the process along but it's not required.
