Hello 😃
I got my first nepenthes around April of this year. It is not the one shown, it is one significantly smaller in a 2 inch pot. I got this one from a nearby nursery approx. a month and a half ago. The nursery described it as “Lemon Alata” but from what I’ve seen in a few comments that’s probably not true. I could be wrong.
You can’t see it under the moss but the pot is filled with peat instead of sphagnum. I have a difficult time watering it with the moss over the peat and want to switch it over to sphagnum moss only. I want to do this because I’m more aware of how quickly the sphagnum will dry than the peat. Is this something I can do without a high risk of killing it? What can I do to minimize the risk of shock?
I wanted to move it to the white pot shown. Please ignore that it’s dirty, it has been outside with the plant graveyard and will be cleaned thoroughly. Is this pot too big for this plant? The pot it’s currently in has a wider lip than the one I want to move it to, is this something I need to consider? I don’t know very much about how to best support these plants and I have had a difficult time finding information on it.
Finally, I do not want to separate the basal from the mother plant. If I take it out of the peat will they separate or do they need to be pulled apart? If they do separate can I still put them back together in the pot?
Thank you 😊
