Yikes, must take nep cuttings.

Hello,
I was going to see how long my N. hirsuta x veitchii would vine. It got to about six feet, then collapsed under its weight and tipped over. Now it's got an ugly crease/tear in the vine, so I'm going to chop it up.

This is a better nep than it sounds, and makes big, nice pitchers. The vine is THICK, and should produce big plants quickly. Here are a couple pics of the lower first, and uppers second:

This has been grown entirely as a windowsill plant, and it loves the household temperatures.

I can safely say I'll have four cuttings available. They will go to the first four people who PM me an address, and can confirm that they have proper conditions to grow it.
