Default Re: New cuttings

Ali,

you know that info will also be quite useful in our nepenthes database, we should add that type of info if a species or hybrid is known to be sensitive to root being disturbed.

Marvin, I'd say in general yes, but there are species that are just too sensitive that disturbing them might kill them. I know for a fact that Bicalcaratas are very sensitive. Some of my Alatas does not seem to be too bothered. The main symptoms are lack of or very slow new growth. Cuttings are probably doubly more sensitive to root being disturbed.

TTFN
