Successful Nepenthes Stem Cuttings: Perlite and Liquid Hormone

Powdered rooting hormones often fail on Nepenthes. Switch to liquid Superthrive (contains hormone) or skip hormone entirely. Use straight perlite instead of sphagnum—it's sterile, airy, and reduces rot. Keep a shallow water tray under the pot. Cover with a bag for humidity. Cuttings with 3 nodes root reliably this way.

Sarracenia Northwest's upcoming Nepenthes DVD will detail propagation techniques.
