good :) ah...so relief...or not i have a bunch of wasted soil in my balcony..

Anyway there are some big chunks in it too...Was wondering are those suitable?? or should i break them down..Some are black in colour...But the pics i've seen of you guys using burnt soil are mostly orange and yellowish white...I have all 3 colours lol

Im not sure why there is black color soil. The 1 that I use for my garden plant is just orange ~ yellow ~ white color. Not sure the black color soil will harm nepenthes or not. Since im just new to nepenthes.

Burnt Earth = Burnt Soil. Earth and soil are the same thing. I can't even find them near here.

hmmm okay then i shall not use the black pieces as much as possible

Those black colour pieces are charcoal, the supplier used wood to burn the soil, those are the charcoal left after the process.

Sooo then those black pieces can be used then? Those black pieces does look like charcoal...quite thin and long
