Cultivation

Location at this plant is Kapiri Mposhi, Zambia. No flowering so far and stubborn moss. Owned for some time and repotted December 2025 (see photos). Quite long traps that have grown around the pot. 2 separate plants in the meantime and broken off traps set apart see if cuttings along that route also work.
