That's it its bigger now it would of had a lil pot but it got top heavy and fall on to the new baby pot but that lil thing has 2 more leafs coming out fast sry I could do a Beyer pic on my phone at work right now ill post a newer pic once I'm home in 5 hrs if you would like

Re: Nepenthes Truncata question
 

sounds like basal shot, what is the aggregate size of your truncata?

Re: Nepenthes Truncata question
 

The Leafs are bigger than my hand so more that 7 inches and the last pot was about 5-6 inches but a new one is growing and looks like it will be bigger
One more thing on average how old does a Truncata have to be to flower?

Re: Nepenthes Truncata question
 

From what I heard, it takes a long time for Truncata to flower(about 8 years old from seeds) but every one will not have the same timing as we keep ours in different condition, no one knows

Re: Nepenthes Truncata question
 

Ok that's cool so I have about 4 more years to go lol
But will I be able to cut that lil plant off and root it or would that hurt the plant and if I cut it off could i graft another plant to the cut part.
have you ever heard of anyone a grafting on another plant to the cut?

Nepenthes grafting is an interesting subject and yes it can be done according to this site:

I may want to try if i have enough material to work with in the future. So please keep us posted if you decided to go ahead with it.

thats cool i may try to do it some time id put something with my Truncata LOL maybe a rajah that would be kick butt if you know what i mean LOL

Re: Nepenthes Truncata question
 

amazing, good luck with those basals :)

Re: Nepenthes Truncata question
 

Do you know if keeping it on the plant will make it grow faster or will it still act like its growing by its self

And what would you do just about every one here has been growing neps longer than me so I'd like input plz keep in mind I live in AZ it can get over 100° F in the days and even now its going to be over 70° F all this week so I grow in glass boxs lol

Re: Nepenthes Truncata question
 

Growing speed of basal shoot that attached to mother plant is faster compare with the basal shoot that seperated from mother plant.

Re: Nepenthes Truncata question
 

Thank you for the info

What about the mother will she start to grow any faster if I leave the basals on her once they are bigger or will she just keep growing at the same speed as she has been all this time?
