I have discoverd something very odd, wonderfull and unexpected. When put into the dark under relativly dry conditions for 1-2 weeks, Neps. create a new off shoot. When my N. ventricosa did this (a bit of a growing issue) I was surprised, but when my N. sanguniea did the same thing no way it was just a coinsidence! Unfortunetly, those are my only two plants and I can't test it further to see exactly what triggerd it, but I figure if anyone has some extra plants that they wouldn't mind experimenting with we could be onto something big. At least, big as far as people who want young plants to grow multipull shoots early on.
I'm sure you remember my panic after the insident a couple weeks back. It was only yesterday that I cleaned off old dead leaves and discoverd that my N. sanguniea hadn't had stunted growth but was growing a new shoot insted of the old one. This plant is a very young cutting, just 7 leaves ever in it's little existence judjung by the reminents on the staulk. I've only had it since this fall. The fact that it was enduced at the same time as my N. ventricosa into making a new basal shoot is just awsome to me, because I really hate to cut back single shoot plants
Thoughts? Comments? Snide remarks about this already being known and me being an idiot? All welcome
