I have an awesome brother, tracked me down a Nepenthes Mikei (cutting). Already has a decent growth point. One leaf (the one with the pitcher) looked a little questionable, so I sprayed some neem oil mix on it. Also gave it some beneficial fungi/bacteria. Excited to see this one grow!

That's better!

Nice! I love this species, unfortunately it is not so common.

I know, my brother had to resort to a cutting. He also managed to find some guy selling it without the internet (crazy).

Nice plant! I don't see N. mikei very often. Hope it does well for you.

Thank you, I'm going to try to get it to root closer to the node though. Maybe even on the node with the air layering technique.
