This spring i was looking at this alata x minor i noticed it had the smallest growth point on top, and snapped it off and placed it in the same pot. well it had 1 small half dead pitcher. I clipped off the brown and waited a month not much growth at all. so i was feeding some sundews fish food so i squirted some in the open pitcher and growth exploded. what do you guys think just weird timing, or the fish food caused it?

Nah, you're on to something. I feed mine crab meal after a transplant to help with shock.

hrm. ill keep feeding that half dead pitcher every 2 weeks just to see what happens..

once the pitchers are developed on my sarracenia and I notice nothing has crawled in, I hydrate freeze dried blood worms, throw a little in there and my plants have been growing really well

Ok i fed this thing all the way into fall. this spring i moved to a larger pot and put the smaller plant in its own pot.
