I haven't started Nepenthes cuttings in water for many years because I
found them to be very brittle compared to roots started in a soil mixture.
Roots started in water tended to break when potted up where that isn't a
problem with cuttings already in the proper compost.

For US growers I have a few Nepenthes offered for sale - N. ampullaria
(green & spotted), N. gracilis, N. mirabilis, N. tenticulata (just a few),
and N. northiana (3). My e-mail is at my "real" job so please contact me
at home: 2932 Sunburst Dr., San Jose, CA 95111-2264. Thanks.
