Subject: Nepenthes Cutting

Hello All,

I have been growing nepenthes for a year now and the first one that I
had purchased, a nepenthes alata, is ready to start pushing against the
top of my terrarium. I had read that you shouldn't cut back a nepenthes
until it had sent up additional stalks from the base of the plant, which
mine has yet to do. So is it ok to cut it before new stalks begin to
grow or should I try to wait? Also does N. alata have a good strike rate
or should it be air layered first?

Thank You For Any Help,
                                                            Matt Miller
