Hey all,
My Nepenthes Ventrata that I got last summer literally exploded in growth and started vining like crazy, and now I can't really move it in and out of the house easily! I was wondering about how to propagate the vines. I read some guides on it and I have a general understanding, but I was wondering if anyone has any tips on what I should do.
There's a TON of basal shoots growing from the pot itself with little pitchers, so I'm not too afraid of chopping off the vines.
Do the growing tips of the vine continue growing after you chop them off along with a growth node? Or do they stop growing from the original tip and grow a new basal shoot from a growth point?
I read that sections with 2 nodes tend to strike more easily, is that true?
Is it ok to use plastic takeout containers with moss placed in it, then seal the container, or is it better to use pots and plastic bags?
Should I cut the leaves in half at all?
