i havent grown them from seed before, but currently i'm trying out cross pollination between two different plants, one hybrid and other species so if get seed pods i might be selling them. My plants are bought from cameron highlands, sungai buloh, pahang and sarawak. You can try cuttings from old plants also. Just take a young shoot, cut it near the base and dip in rooting hormone, and plant in damp coconut fiber mix. but only some species can be reproduced by this method, others need seed.


these are male flowers of Nepenthes miranda a hybrid of fusca and truncata, i choose them for their size and nice pitcher design.


these are female flowers of Nepenthes gracilis, a very fast-growing nepenthes, so easy to grow.
