Decided to play around with my camera today. Here are the basals I'm currently waiting on rooting:
This is really my first time trying to root Nepenthes from basals. I used to just let the basals grow... however they just seem to destroy my young plants and keep them in the same states. I have 3 nepenthes for 3 years that are just about the same size as when I got them. They produce basals like crazy but never grow. As a result this year I'm cutting. (and trying to change other things as well) While cutting these, I'm also working on the best methods that work for me.
One key thing I'm trying to work on is producing stable conditions. (free of humidity drops or sudden dry outs) You'll see me using a 'cup' method for most of these cuttings. So far with good results. All of these cuttings are a month or older.
First up is, N. Unknown 7, treated with Orthonex for a pest. Leaf burn is present in the basal, but new growth is emerging. Cut on 12-19-08. <table style="width: auto;"><tbody><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: right;">From Basals </td></tr></tbody></table> N.
