CP folk,
One of the things I noticed in Singapore was that in a few cases
where I took pitcher fluid out of the pitchers of N. trichocarpa or N.
gracilis the pitchers did not fill up again, but rather dried out and died
very quickly. Has anybody else observed this phenomenon? Or the opposite,
that the pitchers did fill up again if you removed the contents?
Just curious,

Chris
