Im not sure why there is black color soil. The 1 that I use for my garden plant is just orange ~ yellow ~ white color. Not sure the black color soil will harm nepenthes or not. Since im just new to nepenthes.

Burnt Earth = Burnt Soil. Earth and soil are the same thing. I can't even find them near here.

Those black colour pieces are charcoal, the supplier used wood to burn the soil, those are the charcoal left after the process.
