I got this plant (my only nepenthes) last summer and this is its first time pitchering. I noticed that the immature pitcher was soft to the touch and could easily be contorted. Is this normal?
I grow it on a north facing windowsill with a piece of tissue to block out the full sun (its still quite bright). I gets 5 hours of direct sunlight a day. Average temps are around 24C and 30% humidity atm. Due to the low humidity of the room, i keep it in a small fish tank with a piece of plastic over it to trap humidity. The media is 100% LFS.
Could the trouble be the high temperatures its probably getting in the crude terrarium?
Otherwise, does the plant look healthy? I'm planning to move it outside approaching summer, as humidity and temps are good then.
