Hi again,

I have millipedes in my Nepenthes pots.
What do they eat?
Roots? Leaves? Rotting material or are they also carnivorous?
They are in my pots for over a year and in one of my U. pots more
then 2 years. They seem to do no harm.
They only use one of the Nep.pitchers as a toilet. :(
They shit on the outside _and_ on the inside of the pitcher.
Apparently they don't fall in because they can cling on very well
with their thousand feet.

Happy CP-ing,
