Hi Everybody,
Im hoping some of you may be able to help me out with my nepenthes, Ive had it about 2 weeks now and its since opened 2 new pitchers, the trouble is that it is HUGE! Im keen to keep it healthy as its such a truly wonderful plant but I have to admit Im daunted at the prospect because where I have cared for many unusual plants in the past, this one is quite new to me entirely! When I went to buy a pitcher I had never envisioned one like that even existed but I was instantly enchanted and had to have it, it didnt look very well cared for, infact I nearly missed it, as it must of been hanging out the way for years, hence why I got it so cheap $10. Anyway enough sentiment, the facts:
Its big:
When i bought it it had 1 dying pitcher which is really small:
Its since growing new parts everywhere and keps entwining itself, some of the leaves are quite yellow, and of the 2 new pitchers that have opedned one has formed a split:
The other one seems bigger and healthier:
I would appreicate any help or advice on keeping it healthy, cuttings etc...
Many thanks
