Can the pitcher plant be cut off? Will it die?

1. Can it be cut off?

If the pitcher plant of your cultivation becomes withered and you are worried that it will affect its appearance, you can cut it off. However, if the bottle is in good growth condition, there is no need to prune it. After pruning, if you want it to produce bottles faster, you need to maintain a high enough humidity. The climate in the maintenance environment should not be too dry, and the air humidity should be kept above 75%.

2. Will it die?

Even if you cut off the pitcher plant's pitcher, it will not die. In fact, it is a normal growth phenomenon for its cage to wither. It usually withers after about 2 or 3 months of growth. However, flower lovers don’t need to worry, because its cage will continue to grow after withering.

3. Notes

Although the pitcher plant itself is non-toxic, the juice in its pitcher is poisonous. You should be careful not to touch it during normal care. If you are trimming the cage, be careful with the juice inside. It is best to wear gloves to avoid unnecessary trouble.
