Thanks alot friends,
I know there arent many carnivorous plants enthusiast from India,
but i think it is catching up, I have already found 3-4 people from India, who are interested in CPs, n 2 of them are growing vfts n sarcena too.

Well one of the biggest problem we are facing is getting a right growing media, we dont get sphagnum moss in India, n only peat which is available is coco peat which is high on salts or minerals. I am trying to find out some silica sand or qurtz to grow CPs in. I have already lost 6 sundew plants due to not having right growing media n i dont wana loose more, If possible friends can you please advice me what you people can think of growing cps in except sphagnum moss.
thanks alot

Hi neper,
Good to have you with us... hopefully we all can learn from each other.

About coco peat, I have used those coco peat in brick form that was packed with clear plastic. I'm sure it's from India because I got it from my Indian neighbour which he imported it. I haven't encounter any problem using it on nepenthes (never try it on other CPs though).

If you can find coco chips, it's also a good media to be use for nepenthes.

Hope this help.
