theres something happening to my esseriana plant. the only thing i can think is the two ants i fed it a couple days ago might have something to do with it. other than that it's been growing just fine for like 3 years with a fertilizing mist every now and then. this is the only time i have fed it anything other than the occasional gnat or springtail that it catches on its own....

Does anyone have any Nepenthes argentii x [(hamata x villosa) x (edwardsiana x hamata)]? I'm willing to trade for a mature flowering-size Drosera capensis.

heres another close-up:
Probably "browning heart disease" usually from fungus. Plant is probably a goner at this point. Take leaf pullings asap.

NEATO! i didn't know they grew like this. There doesnt seem to be much browning i can see
I've been meaning to propagate this plant anyways. am i doing it right? should i cover it with a bag or leave it?
Your plant has mutated into a brussel sprout.
That seems about right for pullings.

The roots look very healthy. Any signs of pests? Fungus gnat larvae perhaps? Have you sprayed the plant with anything: fertilizer, insecticides?
I usually just lay the pullings out on the medium. The plantlets nearly always develop at the leaf base. I never tried "planting" the pullings before.

some of the pullings had roots attatched so i figured that'd be the best way to do it.
no signs of pests at all. and like i said, only misted with light fertilizer everynow and then and the occasional gnat or two.
i blame the ants!
what should i do about the exposed roots?
I would try replanting the mother plant lower in some fresh media. Also, and this is just because I'm too curious for my own good, I would pull back those freaky leaves until I found some healthy looking ones... but I doubt that'd be healthy for it
