Any ideas whats causing this? it appears the lids are drying out almost, and two pitchers have gone yellow. Im lost as to what it may be. I was under the impression they didn't care much for humidity although this seems the most likely cause.   |

If it was grown in high humidity anything used to those conditions will end up dying off. Otherwise, looks like natural pitcher senescence.

Do not apply a Humidity dome, Cephalotus resent high Humidity in the long run. Keep it at medium levels the plant will a acclimate. It seems a little green which means it was grown in low light which is ok, but brighter light and some color to the pitchers is better. In my opinion that is.

I removed what i believe was mildew with a cotton tip and have placed it in a full light position and it seems it has already responded positively. I shall keep the humid dome off, i was under the impression they didn't care for humidity. |

Dear Scottmcloon-san,
Konnichiwa!
I can see powdery mildew on your plant. Can you obtain the potassium bicarbonate (as a fungicide) at the Garden centre?
Low humidity might promote reproducing of the powdery mildew.
Kind regards

Yes, treat for powdery mildew. Myclobutanil is effective.
