Hello trap7, Actually, your Nepenthes still sounds young. Nepenthes in the mountains of Borneo and Pinatubo have been found as long as 40 feet (according to species) growing up trees. Some grow more compact close to the ground. What you are seeing growing from the base of your plant are new vine bifurcations. It is still one plant, it is just making new vines from it's main stalk. Now that it is beginning to vine, you should see it grow like crazy and become bushier, sending vines out in all directions. Your plant is becoming an adult. If it really likes it's home, it might even flower eventually. Good job,

with a house plant.. NEVER confuse what it would do in its native habitat.. with what it can do.. indoors ... why is your house plant not outdoors for summer???? and if you want to try such.. NO DIRECT SUN EVER .... tuck it on the north side of a house... even full shade outdoors is significantly more intense than indoors.... it would need to be hardened off to light... before allowed any sun ... if ever .... you dont mention where you are.. so i dont know if it can ever be put in full sun ... FL is much different than say.. WI ... welcome to GW .... come back often ... ken
