Hi Steve,
I have never used fungicide on Nepenthes, but it may be useful
for seedlings. Other than that, if you are having trouble with
fungus, I suggest changing the conditions and replanting in new
soil. Also, I never use rooting hormones either, since I have
noticed that Nepenthes do not like them and root better without.
The way a cutting is made is more important for this genus than
using hormones. Cut just under a node and expose some of the
cambium by making a tiny split at the base and wedge a bit of
plastic in to hold it open (there are numberous ways to expose
the cambium, BTW). Place the cutting in water and under light.
The more hours of light, the faster it roots.
