    Who in the predator bag can't be changed, that liquid is its digestive juice, acidic, and the concentration of the solution is different from day to day. I remember that CCTV10 did a program about pitcher plants, you can search it out and take a look.

    However, if the growing environment is too dry and the air humidity is low, you can add a little water to the prey bag.

    You can't add water to the cage.

    That's its digestive juice, and if it's diluted, it can't be digested.

    Yes, it is normal for pitcher plants to wilt in cages, and they will wilt once every 2 to 3 months. A leaf can only grow one cage, and when it withers, it will grow again. However, in the case of an unsuitable growth environment, the cage will wither in advance, so it is necessary to pay attention to the appropriate light temperature and proper watering.

    Nepenthes has strict requirements for water, and the watering time should be strictly controlled, not too dense and not without watering. Just keep the soil as moist as possible. As for the watering time, you should water twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, and remember not to water at noon.

    The cage of the pitcher plant cannot be filled with water. It secretes its own natural mucus, which kills mosquitoes and digests and absorbs. The cage withered does not mean that the plant also has a problem, there is no big problem, just like a person loses a hair, even if the cage of the pitcher plant is the healthiest, the most suitable environment will wither in two or three months.

    Precautions for raising pitcher plants:

    1. Pay attention to humidity, if the humidity is not high, it can only be raised as a foliage plant.

    2. The temperature should be between 15 and 30 degrees, too low to frostbite or freeze to death, too high to rot roots or heat to death.

    3. Pay attention not to fertilize, the cage is to catch insects to supplement nutrients, and it is useless to fertilize the cage.

    4. Medium and water, soil is best mixed with peat + perlite or pure water moss, and pure water and rainwater are used for water. Don't use mineral water.

    You need to hold one-third of the water. If there are a lot of cages, only a few of them are dry, and that's fine. Is birth, old age, sickness and death? But a large area is dry, that is, there is a lack of water. Spray plenty of water. That's how I raised it, and I hope it helps you.

    The insect trap of Nepenthes consists of a cage body and a cage cover.

    The cage of Nepenthes has a smooth bottle mouth, and when the insect approaches, it will slip and fall into the bottle, drown by the liquid secreted by the bottom of the bottle, and decompose the nutrients of the insect body, and gradually digest and absorb them. In layman's terms, only when the mosquito flies into the bottle and is stuck to the liquid it secretes, drowns and finally absorbs it to complete its insect trapping characteristics, it is not that it can actively catch insects.

    When maintaining, the cage of Nepenthes can be filled with water, not too much water at a time, as long as it is filled by one-third. In fact, it doesn't matter whether you irrigate or not. As long as the humidity is high, the pitcher plant will secrete some liquid.

    It is important to note that if you are going to fill with water, choose clean and sterile water. If the water is too dirty, it may cause the cage to rot.

    Second, how to grow a cage.

    1.Humidity: Let the humidity of the feeding environment be high.

    If it's too dry, its cage won't grow. The soil should be kept moist and the humidity should not be too low. Plants can be wrapped in plastic bags, which will retain moisture.

    2.Nutrition: It is also important to have adequate nutrition during maintenance.

    The soil should not be too deficient in fertilizer, and fertilize every half a month or a month, otherwise the nutrients will not be enough, and Confucius will not be able to grow. 3.Temperature:

    The temperature of the culture should not be too low. If the temperature is too low, it will stop growing. Try to keep the feeding temperature around 25-30.

    Normally, it is not normal for pitcher plants to have too much water in their cages, and generally one-third of the water in the cage is best. It is also best not to fill the cage with water, as the cage secretes mucus, which will drown the insects and decompose and digest them. If there is no water in the cage, it is best not to add it yourself, of course, it does not mean that it cannot be added, because if the water used is not clean, the cage of the pitcher plant may rot.

    1. Humidity: If you want to make its cage grow normally, you must ensure the humidity of the breeding environment, and the maintenance environment should not be too dry, you should pay attention to spraying more water, and keep the humidity above 75% as much as possible.

    2. Temperature: The temperature of breeding should not be too low, especially in winter, if the temperature is too low, it will affect the growth of the cage. The minimum temperature should not be lower than 15, and it must be kept indoors during the winter.

    It is normal for the new pitcher plant cage to dry up, that is, it has not adapted to the new environment, and after the acclimation period, it has adapted to the current environment, and it can also be well established in the case of 60% or even lower humidity, the culture medium of the pitcher plant does not need to be too humid, but the culture environment should have high humidity, otherwise the pitcher plant is very likely to work hard to load the grass without forming a cage. For your question:

    1. In the case of suitable medium, it is recommended to cultivate waist water, which not only reduces the difficulty of cultivation (do not worry about the problem of watering cherry water hidden by Nepenthes Wu) but also can better maintain the environmental humidity, the recommended culture medium of waist water is perlite + red jade soil + peat (pure peat, not fertilized and modified) mixed according to 1:1:1, and it is worth noting that the water source used for watering Nepenthes should meet the low salt and low minerals, and if the conditions permit, it is recommended to use deionized water, distilled water, purified water or RO water.

    Cavity Kai. 2. Nepenthes can have full sunshine in spring and autumn and half sunshine in summer, which is suitable for bright scattered light planting.

If you want to fertilize, it is recommended to put half a magic fertilizer in the cage. or other slow fertilization. It can also be sprayed on the foliar surface of Huabao No. 5 4000 times, 1 time a week.
