Propagation By Cuttings

Propagating Nepenthes by stem cuttings has been a popular way to reproduce plants for some time. Basically, a vine is cut from the mother plant and separated into many pieces, and each one is planted so that they will individually root. This basically makes a clone of the mother plant, including the plant's sex.

In order to take stem cuttings, I usually use the following items:

A Good Pair of Gardening Scissors
Rubber Bands
Sphagnum Moss
A Disposable Container Of Water
