I had this nepenthes Singalana outside for the summer ,and now I have the plant inside recovering.  The question that I have for you, is what should I do about the stem that is falling outside of the container?  I was thinking about cutting off the stem.   I  am open to any of your suggesting.  Thank you for your time.

Answer
Hi Weylin,

Keep in mind that Nepenthes are vines.  What this plant is doing is pretty normal.  You could get a small bamboo stake and use some string to help support it.  Other than that, the plant is going to sprawl some as it gets older.  This plant still seems a bit young to take cuttings from.

Good Growing!
