Dying Carnivore?�

2002-01-15

One of my nepenthes looks really bad. I'm not sure what the problem is. It's got black blotches, mostly around the edges. I don't know if it got too cold; all the others look really good. It may have gotten too dry. It has been a pretty cold and dry winter. Or it may just be having a delayed reaction to being squashed into a cup and shipped a thousand miles. There is a sprout in the middle that looks OK.

Ah, well. I got one of each kind, knowing that some would do better in our climate than others. I figured I would lose one or two to the environment. I'll just have to wait. It's not dead yet. My orchids do well out there.
