Hey, I know I've asked alot of questions, but I'm now highly worried about my pitcher plant.. I acquired a nepenthes ventricosa off amazon, had it growing great. Every leaf and pitcher are consistently larger and larger. We suddenly had a cold snap here in se tx. Where it went from 100 degrees outside to low 50s for a couple days then it warmed back up. High 70s now. But.. All the base leaves of my plant are now turning yellow starting at the tips. I'd just had the oldest and smallest pitcher die off. Can anyone tell me if this is just natural progression of my plant or if the cold snap hurt it?? Thank y'all much.

Oh. I'm sorry. I forgot to post pics. Thanks.
I know I've asked alot of questions lately. I'm new to CPs, and I normally wouldn't have so many questions at once, but after that cold snap I'm quite worried about the well being of my plants. Thanks again.

Also, i should have asked: Do i let them die off? Do i need to do something with it? Do i cut the leaves off? Will the dying leaves hurt my plant? What do i do about the whole thing??
