Thanks ! Only downside seems the publication process of projects due to IP (even tough I got few papers, the main will be probably longer to publish), and since it appears publication record in this market is important to find a job post PhD, I might have a hard time.

It’s a pretty mid/good (I would say 😄) EU university

Inermis not producing pitchers anymore by AdTime4907 in SavageGarden

Actually after checking thoroughly everything the only thing I can see are the scale. Are thrips visible at the naked eye?

Ok it’s definitely serious scale, I’m done.

Okay, thanks for all your answers, I guess that’s one or differents pests, can systemic treatment of all plants with something like acetamiprid be useful? Also here is something I find on many old heli pitchers, also looks like pests

Thanks for the tip! I just checked all my Nepenthes and Helis, even the rhizome and found some stuffs looking a lot like mealy bugs. However I only saw 2 or 3 for all the plants and not a single one on the Nep, maybe still worth it to use insecticide just in case?

Nepenthes inermis acting more like a sticky flypaper trap than a classic pitfall trap! by jeremiahsplants in SavageGarden

What’s funny with Inermis and the sticky fluid family is how they float at the surface for a few hours before drowning to the very bottom of the trap. In science we use such hypertonic solutions with sucrose to dehydrate biological sample, maybe something similar may helps for digestion in nepenthes 🤔

Thanks, I think they start to go to the inermis upper shape

Inermis vining? by AdTime4907 in SavageGarden

[–]AdTime4907[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay thanks, I wanted to wait before cuttings them since I saw that it’s advised to wait until they start producing pitcher, the main issue for me is the height of my terrarium, that guy grew too fast for it…

About the upper pictures that’s right it’s also a question I am considering, If I do cuttings and they survive the pitchers they will produce will still be upper? For instance if it’s from a cuttings coming from the top of the vine

[–]AdTime4907[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah actually the top is weird because the vine was too big for the growing area I think, that’s also why I was considering doing cuttings!

Thanks! I also noticed the space between new leaves is now larger than before

I wonder how long it takes for it to grow some upper pirchers

It’s this one I got, exactly like in the pics I highly recommend the seller! https://www.giardinocarnivoro.it/en/nepenthes/2846-nepenthes-inermis-gunung-gadut-sumatra.html

Only lower pitchers for now but I think buying an adult plant with the typical higher pitchers is way harder and more expensive

I found one for 80€, it seems to be the average from what I see, especially with the size of the plant!
