Is it really black, or is it the dark brown you'd expect from drying out?
I have a Nep hybrid that is very vine-like, and the leaves dried up
on the lower part of the vine. Then the stem started to turn brown,
and the brown color advanced toward the green leaves in the upper portion
of the vine. It had meconcerned, but after a while it became clear that
the plant was not in danger. The leaves stayed green and the growth tip
kept growing. The lower part of the stem simply took on a woody
characteristic as Nepenthes stems are apt to do. That portion of the stem
feels as dry as a dead twig to the touch, but the plant is healthy.
Regards,
