Hi, i have had my ventrata for about 6 months and the pitchers were growing in size and after the pitchers got full of ants the new pitchers started to grow smaller and smaller, could it be that the plant doesn't need anymore nutrients or could it be not ideal conditions for the plant? Thanks in advance

It's most likely due to the decreasing amount of sunlight during winter. The same thing happened to my ventrata. I wouldn't worry about it.
