Nepman Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 So, I bought a Nepenthes x ventrata recently, and I have some questions about nepenthes vining. So, my questions are, if when my Nepenthes starts a vine I bury the vine in another pot with a growth point just below the surface, will it form a seperate connected rosette, will the vine stop or continue growing, and will the two rosettes be able to share minerals, water and such over the vine connecting them? Or will they just separate eventually? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicat Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Very interesting question. I have never seen anyone try this so maybe other ppl will know? Are you going to try this as an experiment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsty Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 I've air-layered Nepenthes several times, and that would really be the same thing. All indications are that it would root, especially if you make an upward cut below a node, and put a bit of sphagnum and rooting hormone it it, and everything would keep living and growing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
