    Gin, that thing is scary! I hope Louis doesn't see this post or he will want to grow those too! It is really colorful though.

    Cheers!

    Question

    Hi Gin,

    What do you do with the pitcher once they dry out? cut them or let them be?

    There are two different plants on your pic, I have the one you have on the left. when the pitchers dried out, someone told me to cut them, but since it has not grown any new pitchers, only tiny ones close the the medium? What am I doing wrong?
    How much sun does it need? I read two different site about these beauties, once said it needed full sun, the other one said it needed partial shade? so what goes?
