Nepenthes "Monkey Cups"

[Monotropa]

I figured I would share some pictures of one of my favorite indoor plants currently.




Some cuttings I did a while back that have taken off nicely.


I have been doing a bunch of cuttings when possible from this plant. They have proven to be very easy to clone only using plain water (changing it out every few days). They take their sweet time to root but have had about 90%+ success rate so far. They do take over a month typically to show their first signs of rooting but once they do they tend to grow faster at that point.




They are really good at making fly soup! (this is a shot looking inside one of the cups, if you couldn't tell)

Pitcher plants are cool.

I have always enjoyed carnivorous plants in general. I just found out one of my co-workers has a big pitcher plant that he grows next to his pond every year. I am going to see if I can get a piece of it in about a month after it has fully grown back from being completely cut back during the winter. I think they would be a great addition to my pond as well.
