Photo(s) please. It would help to possibly diagnose the problem.

Tommy I’ve been trying to contact you, could you link me to the fertilizer for pitcher plants.

Any orchid fertilizer will do. Use 1/4 strength. Mist the leaves lightly.

I thought the photo posted last time. Trying again now. I'm seeing it here and I'm going to submit it now. Hope this works. There are two red leaves visible in the picture but there is also a third one on the backside of the plant that you can't see.

Tommy do I put the orchid food into water and mix it and spray the leaves.

Yes of coarse. Mist the leaves lightly, not to the point of run off.

Ok thanks so much tommy, god bless you for helping me.

This needs to be on a separate thread. Could someone please answer my question about my pitcher plant with the red and dying leaves? Thank you.

Yeah sorry, I’ve made like 3 threads but no one replies.

This link should help with your problem:https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/pitcher-plants/pitcher-plant-yellow-or-brown.htm. By your picture it seems it’s a normal cause but if more leafs die then I would read the artical, have those leafs been there for awhile? Expecially the dying ones, are they new or old? My pitcher plant leaves turn some red when they’re in sunlight too long, it also could be your plants having trouble getting used to your environment. And check your humidity level, if it’s lower than 30% that might also be a problem.

Swiftely Craig, use 1/4 of what they say on the label in a gallon container and then pour that into a spray bottle.

aviolet6 , the plant looks normal. That leaf looks like it was sun burned. Don't give it direct Sunlight. Otherwise it looks fine.

Thanks for the replies. I haven't read the link yet. I'll do that next. I think something is not right with the plant. It's been doing this for months. It's lost a lot of leaves and I don't think it is in direct sunlight. It used to get morning sun in an east window last year but I have since moved it a few feet back. Maybe it needs even dimmer light. Or maybe it's normal for it to keep losing leaves. I don't know enough about them. It does keep making new leaves but the stems are long and skinny now with no leaves except up at the top. Can I cut the stems off and replant so that the plant will not have long skinny stems with no leaves?

Your plant looks healthy, the reds from the sun, And if the whole leaf is red and then it dies, it’s from the sun, try putting it somewhere else where there isn’t direct sunlight, and it’s your choice about the stems And the repotting.

But it’s best to leave the plant alone and put it some where else, repotting and cutting stems while having a problem can put the pitcher plant in deep stress and can potentially kill it, it’s just best to leave it be and after a few months when the problem is resolved, then you can.

Ok. It's not in direct sunlight. I'll just move it back somewhere where it won't get very much light. Thanks.

You’re welcome if you have any more questions just ask in this thread.

My pitcher plant is on my porch, it gets bright light but another big plant shades it from the sun, so it gets light but not direct sun

Plants that look long and skinny, are usually because they don't get enough light.

Plants that lose leaves, could be because they get too much water. I can't tell what potting medium that is, but it looks really wet. It could be just a pic that you took right after you watered it.

I still have my bottom leaves on my plants after 2 or 3 years..so they definitely do not fall off so easily, if the plant is somewhat healthy.

But let's say it is regular potting soil, with some bark pieces. Then there are two potential problems that I can see. First, the potting soil might have some fertilizer, which you don't want that much for the pitcher plants. Secondly, the potting soil might be retaining too much water for the plant. You want to keep the medium moist but not overly wet.

Your pitchers actually look very nice and healthy, though.

Thanks. It usually gets dry before I water it. I moved it farther from the light since posting about it and it didn't stop the problem. I don't think it's a light issue.

Violet, don't let it dry out between waterings. It should be able to handle more light than what it is currently getting. What is it potted in and what is your tap water like?

I water it with distilled water and it's in something peat moss-ish and compacted now. I haven't changed it since I bought it at the nursery at least a year ago. I think it needs a new medium. And maybe rerooting. The stems are pretty long and scraggly now.

Old thread. That Nepenthes in the photo is healthy and normal growth. Nepenthes vine with age. Leaves are not permanent on any plant. They die off and new ones grow from the top or growth points on the stem. So older leaves, lower on the stem turn brown and die. That is what you are seeing. Also pitchers turn brown and die before the leaf, thats how it works.

Please be careful, and I wouldn't use fertilizer at all. Foliar fertilizer is a good way to cease new pitchers from forming even if the light, moisture, and humidity are correct. Its use is tricky and very debatable as to any positive effect but one thing is sure if used in to large amounts the plant will suffer or die. It will also crud up and ruin the acidic potting medium these plants need very quickly.

So, I changed the potting medium to spaghnum moss only. The plant lost a lot of roots and had to regrow them but it is doing better now. I did spray lightly again with the diluted orchid fertilizer but I think that was another cause of the the leaves turning red and then brown. Don’t they need some sort of fertilizer if there isn’t any in their soil though?

Fertilizer is what bugs are for. :-) If the plant receives too much fertilizer (in non bug form) it may not pitcher much and/or may show signs of fertilizer burn (blackened leaf tips). A light spraying with dilute orchid fert should not be an issue when done once in a while.

Another media mix you could use (forgot to mention this earlier) is a 50/50 mix of orchid media + sphag. Just make sure the products do not contain any fertilizers.

I doubt your east window was too bright. A reddish blush on the leaves is generally not an issue ... just means the light is at the upper levels of the plant's tolerance.

Not uncommon for a newly aquired plant to lose leaves as it adjusts to new growing conditions. Depending upon where you live. some leaf loss may occur as the seasons change. I sometimes lose some older leaves when I bring my plant indoors for the winter. My winter RH is around 15% compared to the 70+ % it experiences outdoors in the summer.

Then too there is the fact that some plants are more sensitive or particular with the conditions they can tolerate. Species are often much more "delicate" whereas hybrids are generally made of "tougher stuff".
