Ok, so I've been growing Nepenthes for a while now, but every time I repot, I never stick any of the brown stem beneath the surface. So I have nice green growth hovering on top of a brown stem. If I repot them and put the stem under soil, will it sprout roots so i can then trim off the old roots...
There is a nursery selling 3-inch tall Drosophyllum babies in peat pots.
I know this plant is a little difficult to grow, but from what I read, all I need to do is keep the soil well drained and just moist (never wet), give it as much sunlight as humanly possible, and never repot it.
Should...

Hey everyone! I thought I'd post some pictures of my young plants, or developing pitchers! I know these might not be too spectacular but at least you have something to look at. Sorry for the horrible photography...

So I finally got around to snapping some photos today of my small setup and thought I'd share them with all of you!
Criticisms or advice is appreciated as always!

I've had this D. capensis since the summer and it keeps putting up new leaves and old ones turn black and die. But now the growth point is about an inch above the soil level. When I repot it, should I keep this growth point an inch above the soil, or bring it back down to soil level?
Thanks
When feeding a bug to my Nep today, I noticed some spots on the leaves. And then when taking pictures, I noticed some light grey stuff on the soil. I noticed a small amount before and might have sprayed it with a sulfur-based fungicide, I can't remember for sure. But I saw a lot more today...
Good evening, all!
Back in the early fall, I purchased a little D. capensis at the NECPS show in RI... It was my first Drosera of any kind, and I hadn't planned on jumping this genus until late this calendar year, but the opportunity was there (and in all honesty, I was in a daze, like a kid at...
I do mean Nepenthes, but if you've got a different genus with the species name N. hamata that's awesome too :p
Here's some older pics of mine because I'm away from home right now:
SG BE N. hamata pitcher when I first got it (it's finally working on pitchers again now that it's acclimated, but...
they are going on 7-8 months old now, i believe....and some are showing some pretty good color to the leaves and pitchers, and they are getting size a bit quicker than i thought considering they are veitchii after all :P
time for a repot i think XP
Man, the n00b blunders again.
I'm whipping up a new batch of media. I decided to do it right this time after screwing up first by not rinsing anything, second by adding vermiculite. Now I'm doing it right: 3 parts peat, a little less than 1 part perlite, a little more than 2 parts sand. First I...
Personally, i cant stand those crappy thin black plastic pots that nurseries seem to send plants in, this came from a private grower back in june but has grown a ton since i got it, i have a feeling its due to feeding....but either way, i believe in the "If it aint broke, dont fix it" rule, but...
I have a Nepenthes species 1, a highlander, growing in relatively high humidity levels (I don't have an exact measurement) under low-med lighting (mostly filtered sunlight from a skylight, and whatever it gets from the room lights when they are turned on) and just very recently it is having some...
Hi guys,
Just decided that I should repot some of my cephs. One of the pots was at the floor of my 3' tall tanks and as ucan see...very green and not that great. Another one wasin a communal pot with other things..but you can see the media was looking very bad. The VFTs were starting to die, so...
So I'll start by saying that I'm thoroughly embarrassed to show you any plants in this state. This was my first CP - I got it around April. It was thriving for a long time - growing like a weed, spawning plantlets, flowering, clumping... the works.
Then, about two months ago, one of the mature...
Hi everyone -
I got this P. moctezumae about a month and a half ago from an online vendor. It came growing in LFS, and I decided not to repot it into a different medium based on the experiences of some members on this board.
However, since I got my plant, it hasn't grown at all. It also...

..or it really is in fact dying, time will tell. It was doing great, and has been for a couple years. Then it made a pitcher that was 1/4 the size of the previous. Then it threw out a couple very tiny leaves, about 1/4 the size of the previous leaves, all of which didn't pitcher. Now, it has...
