When I pot the cutting for root growth, I cut off any leaf that will be below the moss level. It reduces the chance of mold or rot to get started. If a person is careful, it can be done without damaging the dormant node just above the leaf.
What happens to the plant that you took a cutting from? my pitcher plant is getting big and almost touching the grow light. I was thinking of cutting the top off and trying to propagate it. But obviously, the mother plant will still be there, and im just wondering how it will grow now. I'm assuming from a node sideways, but idk if I'd like the look of that. idk what do you think? Thank you
@@TheSpiderBoss Don't bury the growth point, just the bottom where the roots are. Consider staking it up to support it. make sure the roots are gently but firmly in contact in moist media and bingo. Just make sure it doesn't get to dry and wilt which is the first sign of dehydration. Im assuming you already sorted this since 9 days ago. How'd it go? Also what species are you doing
@@Killerspider762 thanks for the info. I'm just doing simple N. x ventrata I don't have any other nepenthes that are large enough to make cuttings from
I want to ask you something about Venus flytrap, I want to ask you if I take care of them properly: When the soil dries, I water it. Also I do not put it in the sun do I do it right?I'm still cutting the black leaf
Definitely cut the black off and make sure to get them as much sun as possible. Unless it's really hot out and they are exposed to a lot of sun, they almost can't get enough! The warmer it is, the more water you want to keep in the tray and the more frequent you want to fill it up!
Ya. Probably be in water most of the time. Maybe let it dry out for a day, then re water it. There is not black and white response to wagering venus flytraps. The local weather, temperatures and other factors all come into play. You may keep the tray full.for 3 weeks, then Temps drop you allow it to dry for a day or two.
I have looked into it a bit. I think it's a step I need to take down the road when I'm really ready to start selling plants. For right now though, it does look like a lot and a bit expensive. I just don't have the time and money right now to get all that started. Definitely down the road though.
I have a N. St Gaya that's sent out 3 basal shoots, I don't want to touch the main stalk but do you have any recommendations on what to do with the basal shoots? How to safely put them in their own pots?
Yes, I actually have a video where I cut off Basal shoots and repotted them. Unless the plant has become out of control, I recommend just leaving them. But, if the plant is too large and you would like to cut it back, check out this video showing you how to cut basal shoots and get some roots going so they can take off! ua-cam.com/video/e5COTM5UIBg/v-deo.html
I have definitely noticed there is no direct correlation with roots vs growth. Some of these seem to be doing really well with hardly any root system. Funny things, plants... Lol. Good call out though.

My VFT just woke up from its 3 month long dormancy. It’s already growing a baby plant right next to it. So cute lol.
Love seeing divisions of the main plant. Always exciting!
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub it’s my first one ever! I was so amazed. Hopefully it does good.
Nepenthes ventrata has got to be one of the most reliable pitcher plants for mass production
It really is a reliable nepenthes, and a great starting point for people wanting to get into tropical pitcher plants.
Yay I love updates to the nepenthes cuttings!! Looking great, I am excited to see more!
Thank you Michelle, they are doing really well this time! Fingers crossed!
So exciting! Happy Spring and growing!!
Yes, so excited for Spring!!

That's a great tip! If the leaf is below the sphagnum it's not helping anyway. Good call out!

Hi, I’m new with Nepenthes and am wondering if the sphagnum moss you use needs to be washed before planting the Nepenthes in it.
I always like to rinse my media before I use it. I will soak my sphagnum moss for a couple hours before putting it in the pot.
Out of curiosity, when the time comes to pot these up, won't these new growth points cause the plant to grow horizontally? 🤔
These are all potted up and they grew fine vertically, you can see the update here. ua-cam.com/video/fwi52KW0Js4/v-deo.html
So what do you do with it once its ready to be repotted? Do you cut the growth points off and put them in a pot? When should I repot mine?
I let them get a good solid growth point and make sure it has decent roots. I then wrap it up in sphagnum moss and pot it up.
@@CarnivorousPlantsHub so is a 2 1/2 leaf span good? Also there's 2 growth points per cutting, do I bury the first one?

@@CarnivorousPlantsHub That is, to have them in water all the time in summers?I also live in Greece.

Nice roots on those cuttings! Gonna get some Utricularia at some point?
Probably at some point, I don't have much experience with it but would love to dig into it someday.
Have you ever tried TC? for venus flytraps... im currently looking into this, seems complicated
I have looked into it a bit. I think it's a step I need to take down the road when I'm really ready to start selling plants. For right now though, it does look like a lot and a bit expensive. I just don't have the time and money right now to get all that started. Definitely down the road though.
Do you think pulling the plants out of the moss and touching the roots is going to harm the plants?
I always try to avoid touching roots as much as possible. But, I think some gentle handling should be okay as long as it's minimal.
Have you ever tried removing the bottom leaf all together and letting the routs come from the node that is berried ? It works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have not yet, but that's exactly what I would do if I were to do it over. I should have definitely removed the bottom leaves. Good tip!!

I have some cutting that doesn’t have roots but the growth point is really big the leaves are 3 inches in length
I have definitely noticed there is no direct correlation with roots vs growth. Some of these seem to be doing really well with hardly any root system. Funny things, plants... Lol. Good call out though.
Nice bro
Thank you!
Did I miss the description of those little grow pots?
Those are actually orchid pots, which also work well for nepenthes. Similar to these, amzn.to/3NVInR4
