Submerging Nepenthes

[Tanukimo]

Is it safe to submerge Nepenthes in water for 2-3 days? I've done it with Utricularia and Drosera without any problems before, but I'm not sure how Nepenthes will respond to it.

I've left nepenthes in deep trays of water when I had to be away for more than a week at a time. It seemed to work out ok. I'd guess as long as there isn't long term flooding you'd be fine.

Ok thanks. Hopefully it works out okay.

 

[Clue]

Out of curiosity, is the submerging for a pest issue? I've heard people suggest it before but haven't tried it myself.

Yep otherwise I wouldn't take chances with it.
