Rooting Nepenthes Stem Cuttings: Timing and Transplanting

A grower has stem cuttings in perlite under lights for 7 weeks, acclimating for 2 weeks. Roots are not yet an inch long; a shoot is emerging at the top.

Guidance

Wait for roots ~1 inch long before potting. Harden off gradually (they've been in a humid chamber). No more Superthrive needed. Slow rooting often means temperatures are too low – aim for ~80°F with bottom heat. Patience is key.
