Default Re: Nepenthes soil problem

Hi Ken,

I've seen what you describe before on some of my other houseplants. It seems to happen to peaty soils or ones that have started to break down and stick together. As it dries out, the soil contracts within the pot and is difficult to rehydrate because the water just runs down the sides of the pot. I recommend you repot into a more loose mix.

Cheers,
Jion
