When attempting to grow a pitcher plant using bone meal if there is not enough light, the bottom of the plant breaks and the top remains floating when it reaches the last stage.
This happens for example in the nether or in a dark room.
To reproduce
Go to a dark place, e.g. a cave, or create a dark room:
/fill ~-4 ~ ~-4 ~4 ~8 ~4 stone hollowPlace a block of glowstone
Place a farmland block
Place the pitcher pod on the farmland
Break the glowstone
Right click with the bone meal, until the pitcher plant is fully grown.
Expected result
The plant can be planted, and when bonemeal is applied, it remains fully grown and can be harvested.
Observed result
The lower half of the plant breaks when it is fully grown, but the upper half remains.

Thanks for the correction, I have tried a few things and apparently the plant breaks when its in the dark and gets updated externally, so applying bone meal does not break it but placing a block near it (or growing to its full stage which "puts" a block on top of it) does. All plants pop when updated in the dark, but the top of the plant should not remain floating.
Can confirm; this is not exclusive to the nether, but seems to occur in all cases where there's not enough light.
