How to divide Nepenthes (with a complete list of propagation methods)

1. Division method

When propagating pitcher plants by division, you must first open up the soil around the roots and spray some water on the roots to expose the base. Prepare a pair of sharp and clean scissors to separate the small plants from the mother plant. If its root system grows weakly, it is recommended to keep it in a sealed container. You can let it see the sun appropriately, and after a period of time it will resume normal growth.

2. Other reproduction methods

1. Sowing method: Sow the seeds as soon as possible after obtaining them because they are not resistant to storage. Prepare some fine growing medium and keep it moist. Spread the seeds evenly on the substrate. It is best to mix the seeds with sand for sowing. Cover the pot with a layer of plastic wrap, poke a few small holes on it, then place it in a place with good light. Wait for a month and it will sprout.

2. Cutting method: Cut a branch with good growth condition and remove half of the leaves on it, leaving only 2-3 buds. Then trim off 1/2 of the leaf veins vertically and dip some rooting agent on the cut. Prepare relatively loose soil and insert it into the substrate. The buds on the branches should be exposed on the soil surface. Finally, place the potting soil in an environment with high humidity, expose it to appropriate light, and wait for it to take root.
