Default Some Carnivourous Plant Questions

Can I quickly pester you again? When the pitchers start shrivelling
on nepenthes ( a couple of them have, from the top down - very slowly
I might add), should I allow them to shrivel up on their own, or
remove them beforehand? The pitchers are empty of liquid, so I'm
assuming that's been absorbed back in.

Hi
I would let the whole pitcher shrivel up before you need to remove it. I
usually leave it until the tendril has dried up as well. Only if I see any
signs of mould do I remove it sooner.
