s. pitchers hurt


Question
HI! My sarracenia alata has been growing lots of developing pitchers. But last might my careless mom accidently knocked it over. Luckily there were no completely mtured pitcher but the 2 largest developing pitchers got bent and their top halfs were gone. (like sliced away) Will the pitchers still grow or should i just cut them off?

Answer
Hello Victor,

The pitchers are just leaves. Since they have been damaged, those particular pitchers will not become fully functional pitchers, however; you can keep whatever parts of them stay green so the plant can absorb sunlight with them. Just clip off whatever parts are broken as they will brown and die off eventually. Your Sarracenia will grow more leaves, dont worry.
