I have used fungicide on Nepenthes: Subdue and Zyban (sp?).
They work just fine, with apparently no ill effects noticed.

I have used rooting hormone on Nepenthes with great success, never
noticing that Nepenthes do not like rooting hormone.

I have also tried rooting Nepenthes without the hormone, and have
found that the hybrids usually root okay whereas many of the
species don't root as well as when they're treated with hormone.
