Is it because of lack of water? It was straight up before. Also one of the other pitchers had its lid fold up and it felt crispy.

You know, I don't know why they do this. Mine do this sometimes, and I know it's not a light issue. It looks like bent rubber lol.

Just an update to this. The pitchers on the growth point this floppy pitcher is on and is exhibiting weird symptoms. They all seem to be “stretching” and their lids are drying up.

The other growth point is fine. The plant has two. Is this some kind of pest attack? I don’t know what’s causing this.

Rhizome rot? I guess I’ll have to dig up my plant tomorrow. Just when the growing season was about to start :(
