FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Long time ago this nepenthes began flowering and was male. Another forum suggested cutting it claiming it would slow the plant down and when the flowers opened they smelled bad. Well lol the main stem stopped growing until two weeks ago (roughly 5 months) and all the energy went into the basals. Basals were relatively big and the pot which was large was overcrowded. I have 200+ bonsai trees so these hang and there was just no room unfortunately. I snipped them off and wrapped in lfsm covering in a plastic bag. Since that, some of the bigger leaves on the cuttings are turning black (I take bag off to air out once a day) and the mother the pictures attached the leaves are crisping up from the edges like a slow fire. I was amazed how long the pitchers were around for because it had been 4-5+ months easily. The main stem began growing again finally but is there anything I can do for both the mother and the cuttings? I also used rooting hormone so if I could end up with 2 (took 5 I'll be happy).

I said the cuttings some of them just kind of die. I myself have only had two out of nine of them survive. The Ventura is a lot more resilient than the ventracosa. This type of ventricosa that I got is a very finicky and not resilient at all. If the cutting is not going to die, it will just stay green or it'll turn a little bit Brown and then stop turning brown cuz it's able to metabolize nutrients because it's grown Roots now or then it'll turn brown again which is something that one of my cuttings did.
As for your main Vine, however, it looks like it may be Browning from nutrients or from a infection of some sort. I'm not really able to tell though to be fair, if you repot it now, it may go into shock. Ventricosa cuttings Ventrata cuttings the thick ones are ventricosa

Anything I can do? How much light? Water, leave bag on etc?
