Nepenthes Ventricosa Basal Shoots: Not Separate Plants

Sal sees two small plants on 2-year-old N. ventricosa stem. Christopher explains: "What you are seeing are new vines growing from growth nodes where old leaves were on the browned section of vine base... These nodes only grow new vine sections, not new plants." Separation requires letting vines grow 12"+ then taking cuttings (root in moist soil or water). Best to let plant bush out first.
