Xi Wei, I don't encourage you to use just live SM for all your neps. The roots too will need some air. Moreover it's not easy to get live SM in the nursery, not to say a big quantity. Just use dried SM + perlite/sand, most neps thrive in this mix. You can get it in ACE or Jusco. Ace is selling a better quality New Zealand SM which lasts you for years. Jusco is selling "Uncle.... Sam or something" brand which is very much cheaper but poor quality. It decomposes rather quickly.
icic, thanks a lot for the info, what about drosera? does the theory work the same or not? thanks
