nepenthes gracilis
Nepenthes Specialist
Hey all,
Are you having difficulty with this species growing and or pitchering properly? Well I have discovered something quite interesting. Recently I asked Tony what he thought if my two plants should be repotted, he said they might need it but he wasn't 100% sure as the pots were big enough for the plants by the looks of it. So naturally my curiosity got the best of me so I unpotted one...lo and behold it was rootbound badly! So the moral of this stroy..check your Nepenthes roots if all else fails! This species really does require a very deep pot..not so much wide but DEEP.
