19Silverman93 Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 this is my N. 'rebecca soper' which has been growing very well for the past three months or so since I got it, if not pitchering, producing but a single one for me. However, whilst having a closer inspection of the pot I notices that it's sent up not one but two new shoots! (the two on the outside of the 4 now growing the larger one: and the newest one: now, my question really is what the hell should I do about this? having 4 seperate plants in a pot just shy of 4" can't be good for the health of them all, so how would I go about dividing them all up? (should I need to go down that route) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenofeden Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Hi. I had the same plant in the same pot and had two plants when unpotted. The pot is too small really as it will dry out very quickly. I repotted mine into separate pots which now stand on damp sand with the rest if my Neps. Repotting now will be fine.

19Silverman93 Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Thanks for the tip stephen, I went ahead and re-potted it but I decided to take the opportunity to divide it all up as well, time will tell if the two smaller shoots will root though. no way I've got space for the little buggers I suppose I'll have to sell them off or give them away.

pmatil Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Wow nice pitchers. My Rebecca Soper has currently 7 growth points... The plant has made about 1-2 new basals every year since I got it. But the picthers are quite small although it has made a few uppers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the picthers are quite small although it has made a few uppers. thanks it's been a very vigorous grower but sadly It hasn't wanted to pitcher for me very much. maybe now all the seperate growing points have space to grow I'll see a little more action. still, if it produces new basals at that rate I'll be able to make my money back on it in no time. It is a really nice hybrid I have to say, very forgiving to young fools like me. plus it's a favorite of my girlfriend (who just so happens to be called Rebecca too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ordovic Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I believe the lack of pitchering is due to lack of light as being hung that high up it'll only receive diffuse light mostly from below. If you can suspend it lower down at (or on) windowsill level you should have more success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petr Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Perfect plant! I was growing this plant few year ago with ventrinermis and ventrata as well. Very grateful palnts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corky Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) if you hang it lower be sure to keep an eye on it,as a sunny day could burn the leaves if its used to a shadier position,but looks to me like it would not get enough light in the position its in (if the plant was truly unhappy it would of lost its pitchers) Edited June 29, 2013 by corky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordovic Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Scorching won't occur once it's adjusted and in a sunnier spot all the time as your x ventrata would illustrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
