Neglected nepenthes revival through cuttings?
Posted: Sun Mar 29, 2020 10:19 am
Hi all,
When I went off to college, I had to leave some very large Ventratas and a Miranda behind (each has about 5-10 vines). Now, I have come home to find that the plants, although thrown behind the house and severely neglected, are still clinging to life. The growing tips are blackened off, and the leaves and stems are overall very sunburnt, but some of the stems and older leaves still are pretty green. I am wondering, how much healthy plant material must there be on there for cuttings to take? Can cuttings be successful off a very unhealthy mother plant? I want to try and reincarnate the old plants into a bunch of baby ones
