    Copelandii cuttings

    Hey all, I have an n. copelandii that's getting to be a bit too big for my rack. I wanted to take some cuttings of it, but it hasn't produced upper pitcher forms yet, and I don't want to miss out on seeing them. I've read that the cutting with the upper growth point in it will continue to...

    Does new basal = smaller pitchers on the old shoot?

    Hey folks, quick question, if anyone's got the time... I've got a N. spectabilis x ventricosa that I picked up at clearance at the last NECPS which has been thriving, and putting out fairly large pitchers. Recently, a second basal emerged and has progressed to the point where it's put out a...

    superthrive for propagation of neps

    Hi, In last year I often added superthrive in the water for misting my neps. During those days (about half a year), most of my neps grew side-shootings or basal shootings. In this year, I stopped using superthrive. Just wanted to see whether my neps could continue to put side-shootings or...

    N. x 'Judith Finn' loves to flower, but not to pitcher

    Hey guys, My N. x 'Judith Finn' bloomed once last fall, and a few months ago I noticed it was poised to bloom again. But I just noticed this morning that just one node higher, its sending up yet another scape! Also, an alternate growing tip growing up from the base (So, maybe a basal that...

    Going to College - all neps must go!

    So, I'm heading off to college in a few weeks and I've got to do something about the plants! There's no way I'm fitting them all in my dorm so I'm only keeping two neps (my first one, and a small truncata). The rest are up for postage! The catch is that most of them are pretty sick looking...

    Neps grown in standing water.

    Hoping this thread doesn't start drama. Just thought I'd show my success with growing neps in constant, "deep", standing water. I have however noticed a few downfalls. Such as the plants developing HUGE root systems along with accelerated basal production. :rolleyes: As far as perks, once I...

    Lack of pitchers, lots of basals

    Is it an indication that my plants are under some sort of stress? The plants I'm having trouble with are n. singalana and a "kohala" (kampotiana x maxima) x (fusca x veitchii). The singalana produced a basal about five months ago while making pitchers like crazy, since then it hasn't produced...

    Basal Shoots

    Hi guys, my N. Ventrata has started to send out some basal shoots and I'm wondering what the standard procedure is when these little'uns appear? I don't want the plant to get too big as I've got limited space and plan on getting more neps, so would that mean I should remove them, or simply cut...
