Repotting Nepenthes truncata: Handling Long Stems and Old Soil

Repotting Guidelines

Remove some old soil, but not all—complete removal causes shock.
Use the largest pot possible (8–10" for medium plants); taller pots keep roots drier.
Bury the long brown stem deeper if desired—it's harmless and natural for climbing Nepenthes.

Complete transplanting walkthrough available in "Grow Carnivorous Plants" Volume 3 DVD.

Good Growing!
