Hi
I have read and heard that some cuttings can be struck by using honey as a root hormone by rubbing a small amount of it on the node where the roots would grow from. See

Could this work for Nepenthes?
Alternatively, would they strike well with no root hormone?
It would be good if honey works as it would be a safe root hormone. I heard a long time back that some of the root hormones were very toxic. I am not sure if they are that way now? I did a web search to see if I could find anyone that has tried honey for Nepenthes. However, I was not able to find anyone. If you know of anyone, please let me know.
I noticed in the the private email that you wanted to know a little about me. I have an autobiography linked to my sites below.
I also have many websites with new ideas, including separate free groups, unique inventions with advantages, and rare information with solutions to help people. Please see
http://www.advantagein.com/community.htm for a brief summary. I would appreciate your feedback and help. Are you able to swap links or share any letters that I could send you?
Your help is appreciated,
Regards Richard.
