Default Re: "Drier" media Neps..?

N. albomarginata's distribution is in Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra. As far as I know, most albos in Peninsular Malaysia can only be found in intermediate level 700-1100m ASL.

I also know Borneo have L/L population of albo but I can't comment on the albos from Sumatra.

That's why we have a cultivation guide since we can't really list down all the hybrids (the list is endless with new hybrids created everday) but at least to a certain extent we can cover the species only.

I think the most important point is the term "drier"... the idea is to provide well drain media, not a media that will absorb water and hold the water. Most nep still prefer media that is moist but only a few neps can really handle the "wet" media well.
