This is day 1 fully submerged. Btw they float so I had to gently tie it down to a rock. The tie is open enough that the plant can grow and basal shoots can spread without causing issues.
When I finished I gave it a little spritz of foliar spray to provide a little something to the water.

This is unhinged behaviour.
I’m interested in how this will go
It’s a ventrata so it might not even care
what the fuck…
Idk the lore here but I fully support whatever tf it is you’re doing, this is great
I’m both offended by this and interested in the outcome.
I’m very excited to see the result. It might be like a temporary immersion tissue culture.
this is fascinating and i look forward to the data you’ll be collecting!
Edit: omg I just saw that you also play pocket frogs. I love that game. you rock.
Interested to see how this goes, will you be changing the water at intervals?
I mean the worst case scenario is you end up with a dead Nepenthes so I think it’s a pretty low risk and interesting experiment.
Do you have a plan to prevent algae growth?
I’ve been doing a phytotoxicity study on insecticides and carnivorous plants (ie, are chemical pest controls dangerous to the plants). I had idea to test submersion as a non-chrmical control since the pests will likely die after a day or two under water. I’d assumed I would skip Nepenthes but I guess I’ll have to include them now.
What are your nutrient levels? Feeding intervals? PH? Hit me with some numbers bud.
