Nepenthes Basal Rot in a Shared Pot: Overcrowding, Drainage, or Disease?

Likely Causes

• Overcrowding: Three plants in one pot compete for root space and airflow.
• Waterlogging: "Moist but not wet" is hard to maintain in a shared pot; bottom rot suggests anaerobic conditions.
• Species mix: Different needs (highland vs. lowland) conflict.

Urgent Steps

1. Separate into individual pots with appropriate mixes.
2. Inspect roots: trim black/mushy parts; dust with cinnamon or sulfur.
3. Reduce watering; increase airflow.
4. Send photos for specific diagnosis.
