Question : Inducing nepenthes to produce basal shoots

[kentosaurs]

Hi everyone

Well sorry if i have been recently opening to many threads....This is probally because i pratically have nothing to do except sit in front of the computer and surf the net and when i surf the net it means PET PITCHER!!!!!.....

Okays seriously am i opening to many threads???

Well now the questions

I have heard of many ways to induce the nepenthes to produce basal shoots like tilting the nep or stuff like that.If i would to have a nep which i can see the lower part of the nep which is where basals emerge from.....If that was above the pot and i add in some LFS and cover it up will it produce basals?????

2nd one is about seedlings

Ummm just a little pintless questions.....When do seedlings or planlets start producing they're own roots??????And normally about how big are they when they do.

3rd

Same as the 2nd only thing different is that when do "basals" produce they're own roots and stop relying on they're mother plant.
