Re: Nepenthes, and the Quest for the Perfect Soil
It sounds like you have it all planned out quite well!
I use a 1:1 mix of coconut husk and course perlite and I have been very please with the results over the past year. I also grow all my Neps in coco lined baskets as they are great for added air to the roots.
I have used coco peat before but was very unhappy with the results as it seemed to become far to compact and didnt seem to have near the airiness as coconut husk....plus I like the look of the coconut husk better.
I look forward to seeing the results as time goes on so please do keep us informed of your progress Marigold!
Happy growing!
Victoria
