Hello, I left my plants unattended for a week, with no water and when I came back this sarracenia looked awful. Does somebody know what’s happening? My other plants seem to be okay.

They dried out. I’ve done this type of thing as well. Give them a lot of water and keep them sitting in a tray of water constantly. The withered pitchers won’t come back to life but the plants itself should be fine and grow new pitchers.

The ones that stay crispy and don’t have any life in them are fine to cut. It may encourage the plant to put up more pitchers faster.
