2 seem fine which is a relief. I am going to add an extra layer of soil for protection though.

My pitcher plants are forming new and slim pitchers! Too bad two of them succumbed to vermiculite problems and mold. At least one is pitchering alot!

I never use vermiculite for CP's, except sometimes for Mexi-Pings. Even for Pings, I'm switching away from vermiculite to fine clay pieces.

it was a huge mistake. i thought that vermiculite was similar to perlite. I really goofed up.

Until it was posted here, I never knew about vermiculite and CP's. I just never used it with them (luckily). I once almost killed some orchids with unwashed coir (from an orchid store!).

I pinched the flowers. Do you by chance have ids for them when they are fully pitchered out?

I was going to ask the same thing. I made two crosses with the one plant. Hopefully I got some seed to pass around this fall.
