🌿 Pruning Nepenthes in 2 Quick Easy Steps: DEMO, How & Why! 🌱
Ever wondered how to prune your Nepenthes? You're not alone! In this video, we dive into the simple yet crucial process of pruning your Nepenthes in just 2 quick and easy steps. If you've ever hesitated because you didn't know where to start, worry no more! I'll guide you through the process with a demonstration, explaining the reasons behind it and the impact on your plant's growth.
🌿
In the midst of winter, my Nepenthes is still thriving, but it's time for a prune. Nepenthes, being climbing plants, exhibit a unique growth pattern. As they mature, they send out longer shoots and larger leaves in search of support. However, if left unattended, they can become unruly. Learn why pruning is essential for their well-being, especially when displayed in hanging baskets.
🔪 *Step 1 - Locating the Right Spot:*
The first step in pruning Nepenthes is crucial - find a spot just after a leaf node. Discover why this specific location matters, and why cutting between nodes can lead to unsightly results. My personal preference is to aim for around 20cm of growth, but feel free to adapt based on your preferences.
✂️ *Step 2 - Making the Cut:*
Watch as I demonstrate the second step - making the cut. It's a straightforward process, but I'll provide tips for those who want to take extra precautions, including sterilizing your snippers. Whether you like to play it safe or embrace a bit of risk, this step is essential to the success of the pruning process.
🌱 *Conclusion:*
And there you have it - pruning your Nepenthes in two quick and easy steps! Join me in enhancing the health and aesthetics of your plant. Don't miss out on the benefits of proper pruning, and find out what happens if you choose not to take this step. Let's keep our Nepenthes happy and thriving together!

I always like your get-to-the point information videos. I have learned a lot from you about pruning ( and other facts too) these two Nepenthes (Sanguinea & Gaya) that I have. Thank you for getting your knowledge out to we enthusiasts. It is much appreciated. 😀

They are VERY easy to root from cuttings!

Yeah that’s true. I wish I knew some local collectors to do swaps!

The N.sanguinea I got in spring is doing so great in my east window, it is getting long w big pitchers- so while I could prune it, I’m going to just let it go for a while, I’m easily amused…if I do prune it I just might send you a small piece! Oh going to my first plant swap next week, have growing Ledbouria bulbs, small Hylerocereus ( dragon fruit ) pieces, Haworthia and Gastoria babies, all in 2” plastic cups. I need more plants, I lost quite a few this year what with my illness and helping my friend recently. 🪴

I think you should prune it (just so I can have some! 😂). Good luck at your plant swap - just don't come away with any Peace Lilies - can't abide them!🤷‍♂️

@@Grow_Up_Man55 I can’t grow them-although the variegated one is pretty, I think it’s called ‘Domino’ -so no to that one. Or spider plants, kalenchloe, Aloe Vera (although I’ll take any other Aloes, especially those with lots of bumps), Opuntia cactus, Golden pothos, ivy, Boston fern…anyway, should be interesting to see what folks are growing and what they’re getting rid of! 🌿
