RE: Propagation of my Nepenthes (Monkey jars) carnivorous pitcherplants
Thats a cool plant and sounds like its doing well. Do the pitchers actually catch bugs in the house?

They don't actively catch them like the Venus fly trap. They say it lures insects with the smell inside the pitchers and the insects slip when they walk on the inside of the pitcher.
I've never seen it happen, but I did see 'substance' in the pitchers, which might indicate a dissolving insect.
Interesting. I was wondering if they would eventually die if they dont get an insects living indoors. But it sounds like yours is thriving so 👍
