My "monster" n. ventricosa cutting

BigCarnivourKid

It's been one of dem days
About a year ago I was transplanting some of my ventricosas into deeper pots. One of them had a small basal shoot that was going to be buried several inches so I decided to cut it off and on a whim tried to root it.

This was the cutting then

and this is the cutting today

The point is, don't give up on a cutting without at least trying to see if it will take. You never know, these crazy plants fool the best of us.
 
Do the plants really catch anything at all with those small pitchers by the way?
They seems kinda pointless to me...

They've gotta start somewhere.
 
sure they do. they catch tiny arthropods and stuff. you should see life through a microscope... it's awsome. a world of things you've never even imagined. rotifers, ciliates, hydra, daphnia, ostrocods, mites, springtails, diatoms, desimids, cyanobacteria,
aaaaahhhh.... the wonders of nature

Thats cool! It was so tiny and now is a nice what looks like a 2 year or so seedling. Congrats! I have also grown a vft from one of the little bumps that grows off of the leaf cuttings,and it grew into a nice plantlet.:)
