I've got a coupla CP questions that hopefully have easy answers:

1) Regarding the D. Auriculata seeds from the Bros. Taylor: I know this
species is supposed to go dormant in the summer, with a dry medium. My
seedlings are still quite small; should I just let the medium dry up, or
wait for the seedlings to go dormant. Kind of a chicken/egg question...
I'm surprised that barry said his have flowered, since my seedlings are
growing VERY slowly.

2) I've got the N. Maxima cuttings from Davin. How long does it typically
take to see new growth on Nepenthes cuttings? Oh, yeah, I noticed that
one of the leaves is drying out and turning black...is it a good idea to
cut out the black, dying part of the leaf? Is this sort of thing normal, or
is it a bad sign? The cuttings are in a terrarium, with high humidity, and
get misted at least twice a day.
