Subject: Re: Nepenthes madagascariensis

Having killed several tc N. madagascariensis "babies", I hereby join the
ranks of those unable to grow this species. I can't figure out what I'm
doing wrong. Some of them lasted as long as a year or so with little or
no growth, some even tried to send out tiny branches or side growth--
but these never got much past the bud stage, then the plants turned
black and died like the rest.

 I wonder-- would a fungicide help us out here? Is a virus plaguing us?
 We can't all be guilty of cultural abuse, can we? Most of my other Neps do
 just fine. I've tried warm, cool, and in between with madagascariensis. No
 luck. If anyone out there KNOWS why so many of us can't grow this
 species, please clue us in.

 Thanks in advance,

 Lance
