Username Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) A few days ago, I was watering my nep. (ventrata) and discovered this green little shoot: Is this a extremely young nepenthes, or is it something else? If it is a little baby, how do I look after it? Here's the "adult" nep. (I would also appreciate general tips on looking after it): Thank you! Edited July 28, 2009 by Username Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vraev Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 yup! that is a basal offshoot. My ventrata made them like crazy. I started with one vine....before selling it, it was upto 8. Just let it do its thing. Since the parent is thriving, it will do great as well. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Username Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I'll leave it as and where it is then. I have no intention of re-potting it as it is already in a place it is not meant to be. Woohoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Evans Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I wouldn't describe this as a new plant. Rather it is a new branch on your baby Nepenthes plant. When you have a couple of branches working on a meter long your plant will be adult size :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Username Posted August 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 So a sibling more than a baby then? It's now got two leaves, each with a tiny pitcher on, and naturally is growing another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benenthes Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 it's still very much connected to the motherplant, so if you want to pot it away from it, it would be best to wait till it's grown about 10 cm or sth. like that. reguards Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
