Managed to find some time to repot a few plants today. A task that I am always lazy to do. One of the plants is this large bical. My second bical rooted from a cutting done almost 3 years ago.

Time to repot...

That's a 5 inch pot.

5 years ago, a couple of moss sprouted in one of the pots. Now, all pots are filled with them. This type grows fast.

I fertilize very rare and inconsistently. Using diluted chemicals salts, KNO3, KH2PO4, ... from macro till micro-nutrients into pitchers. Careful not to overdose. Probably optional. Most plants capture quite a lot of insects anyway.

Yes outdoor. I live in the same climate where wild lowland neps are growing. Perfect for them.

I haven't gotten basal from bical either. But I have a large plant with 3m long vine. It produces a couple of side branches. Can take cutting anytime.
