Facts about my carnivorous nepenthes:
-he is old enough to go to preschool
-he is taller than I am when his vines are stretched out
-he periodically spills plant digestive fluid on me that burns until I wash it off
-he can’t stay near other plants for more than a day or two lest he try to strangle them to death
-he was solely responsible for the murder of a previous impatiens plant but he still denies it
-I once forgot him outside during an actual hurricane and he was fine
-the place I bought him from as a tiny baby monster cutting mysteriously closed down suddenly and is now a popular urban exploration site
-his name is Pitch because he’s a pitcher plant and is also satan
We had one of these at the cursed beige house. She was in a hanging pot. Her name was Marceline.
I love him.
