I've heard that you shouldn't cut them until they make another rossette (may be misspelled) of plants. I'm not exactly sure of it but i guess it's true. I don't remember where I read it though.
Some people are afraid that if you cut the stem and there are no basals or other activated nodes, the plant could die. I guess it technically could, but I've taken probably 50 cuttings and never had anything die. I've knocked the growth tip off my alata giant x spectabilis 2 times, cut it twice, and its fine (in fact, now it has 2 growth points lol).

There is some information available on the web if you just search. Try using Google and searching on the words "nepenthes propagation" or "nepenthes cuttings".
I was researching on how to take a cutting from my ventricosa because it is growing pretty fast and also has two basals quickly approaching 4" across. However, the distance between each of the mother leaves is only 1 inch, not 2. I suppose I should wait a big longer before doing anything to the mother or the basals.
