How can I rescue this??
Containers Pests

HELP!!

I got this pitcher plant last year and it was really effective at keeping flies out of the kitchen BUT having over-wintered it successfully and seeing it coming back to life I do feel that now is the time to remove the dead or dying tubes (and their resident spiders) but don't know how to go about it.

Do I just cut them off??

Or is that what was really killing the flies lol

It's crazy how well it came back to life!! Like it was only €12 should I just get a new one? But then I always think plucky plants deserve a proper chance!
