You are really fast. May I use Cocopeat + perlite as the media?

[NepNut]

haha... just copy and paste

Sure but use more perlite about 40% to 50%. Watering depending on how fast the media will dry out or when the weight of the pot become very light...

Guys, don't give up. Once you figure out the what make it tick, it's not that hard. The more difficult N. albomarginata for me is MT's kuching spotted , still trying to figure this one out.

I find albomarginata easy to grow. I use hanging clay pots with pure sphag as media. I got 2 plants about a year ago and they have doubled in size since then. Pitcher colouration will improve when given a lot of sun. I think it does best when the leaves have a reddish tinge.
