1. Division method

2. Other reproduction methods

When dividing the plants, open up the soil around the roots, spray some water to expose the base, use scissors to separate the small plants from the mother plant, then plant them and smother them. You can also propagate by sowing and cuttings. When sowing, prepare the soil first so that the seeds can be sown evenly. When cutting, you should use branches in good growth condition, and then cut them after simple treatment.

1. Method of dividing plants

When dividing Nepenthes plants for propagation, you must first break up the soil around the roots and spray some water on the roots to expose the base. . Prepare a pair of sharp and clean scissors to separate the young plants from the mother plant. If its root system is relatively weak, it is recommended to cultivate it in a suffocating manner. You can let it see the sun properly, and it will return to normal growth after a while.

2. Other propagation methods

1. Sowing method: Sow the seeds as soon as possible after obtaining them, because they are not resistant to preservation. Prepare a fine planting medium and keep it moist. Spread the obtained seeds evenly on the substrate, preferably by mixing the seeds with sand. Cover the pot with a layer of plastic wrap and poke a few small holes in it, then place it in a place with good light and wait for a month for it to germinate.

2. Cutting method: cut a section For branches in good growth condition, remove half of the upper leaves and only keep 2-3 buds. Then trim off 1/2 of the leaf veins vertically, and dip some rooting agent into the cut. Prepare relatively loose soil and insert it into the substrate. The buds on the branches should be exposed to the soil surface. Finally, place the potting soil in an environment with high humidity, expose it to appropriate light, and wait for roots to take root.
