Can a Severed Nepenthes mirabilis Regrow from Roots or Stem?

Good News: High Resilience

N. mirabilis is tough. If the root mass is intact, it will send up new shoots. If stems broke off, they root easily as cuttings—treat like any stem-forming plant.

Next Steps

Pot the root mass; keep warm, humid, and moist.
Stem sections can be struck in sphagnum under a humidity dome.
Expect recovery—this species bounces back well.
