Dude that's such a nice tip, I have this nepenthes ventricosa x robcantleyi that never makes pitchers but is constantly making basals I guess I'll just chop the top and let the babies grow

As spring approaches my collection has basals and new pitchers all over the place, can’t wait to move my neps outside this April and watch them explode. St Gaya is an awesome plant, first to start putting out pitchers and basals this year with beautiful color too, it’s growing much more nicely than even my ventrata

Growing outside sound nice 👌

My Nepenthes Bicalcarata has recently made a Basal and it got two little Pitchers since it popt up at the Surface

Thank you Remy, I've been thinking of cutting off a basal shoot on my ventricosa.

I really enjoyed this video. Yeah, I like cutting the stem to give energy to the basal. It's good to make cuttings and keep extra for yourself too in case you lose the mother plant for some reason. I've had that heart break before. So don't sell everything. Always keep one for yourself. Give to close neighbors or co workers too because they can help you get your plant back in the future if you need to. I was lucky this way with my red leopard. Your plants look great. I lvoe seeing the snow outside your windows.

Very nice, you should make a video testing fluval substrate, specially with other species too, this is the new sensation and alternative to normal peat and spahagnum hehe

Thank you again Remy, very informative vídeos; I just cut a basal from a Gaya too, I hope will root soon.

What an amazing video!! Never thought about cutting the main plant instead of the basal, I'll definitely try this next time. Best regards from Brazil!!

If Nepenthes' pitchers size is always consistently getting larger, then is a plant that continually puts out small ones a clear sign of some minor stress?

@WindowsillNepenthes

2 жыл бұрын

If the pitcher "should be bigger" (depending of the species) then yes something is needed. Usually light and if not, humidity. Keep in mind that right now, my n. Gaya is making smaller pitchers because nights are too cold for it, but in a few month it will be better. If not I'll search why. ;)

Your video was very timely. A couple of days ago, I cut (I was worried about this cut) about a two foot vine with huge leaves off from my Nepenthes Sanguinea. The plant has four fairly large basal shoots, so I decided to let the main root system put the energy into those four shoots. I did this cut because the vine was growing like mad but not producing pitchers. I am hoping this procedure will cause the basals to produce new pitchers. The plant is currently under a 150 watt (output) CFL in order to survive the Michigan winter. Anyway, I guess I will find out what the effect of this cut turns out to be.

@@origamisensei798 The plant(s) is extremely large in the pot as the basals all grew much larger. There were quite a few large traps (about 6") this summer that formed during the hot days. Actually, at this point, I am thinking the plant is really too big and probably should be split up into several separate pots. However, I don't want any more Neps. I now have 3 150watt output CFLs hanging over my pot of Sanguinea and St. Gaya which is also huge. These plants really can put on size, that is for sure.

I wish you would have done them the other way around lol. I’m thinking off chopping and rooting the main stem of my Gaya to let the basals keep the main root system. I’m planning on bagging it while it roots but does the pot need to sit in water while this is happening ? Since it won’t have roots they won’t rot right? Or will the humidity from the bag be enough to keep the soil moist enough? I hope this makes sense. Thx Remy and keep up the good work.

Yes, you can root a stem into water with bright light (not sun). Just change the water once a week so it don't grow algae ;) Then, when the roots are 1 cm (1/2 inch) you gently pot it in loose substrate. ;)

Hello remy, another great video I see. I had a question if you could help you see I have a nepenthes hookeriana that lost its growing parts due to shipping and wont grow anymore what can I do to get a basal shoot as soon as possible

@WindowsillNepenthes

If the main growth point is broken or dead, the plant will activate a side shoot by activating a dormant nod on the stem. Could also generate a basal. But as long as the plant is alive with good light it should recover ;)

The substrate is regular dead sphagnum and perlite, but the top dressing is live sphagnum which I spray morning and evening to keep it moist.

If you use the artificial light then you can cover it with a dome but if you use the sun then do not cover and just keep the substrate is wet. But in principle, the young plant has the same needs of the mother plant.
