A Texas grower's month-old S. alata (repotted in 50/50 peat/perlite, full sun, 100°F days/70°F nights, daily top-water) shows tip browning on old and new pitchers. Plant otherwise healthy (caught wasp). Asks if trim or worry.
Jeff Dallas: Normal for S. alata in summer heat. Best pitchers come late summer/fall as nights cool. S. alata and S. leucophylla peak in fall. Critical: Use rain/distilled water (TDS ≤50 ppm). Hard water causes tip burn—first sign of mineral damage.
Texas summer extremes stress even heat-tolerant species. Fall flush is the show season for these taxa.
