Re: Some nepenthes that grows reasonable well in burnt soil
I have all my Neps grown in burnt soil too. Clay soil also works wonders particularly for raffs that refuse to pitcher. All other media mixes have not worked well for them although now only my bical is still refusing to pitcher. I wonder why

Re: Some nepenthes that grows reasonable well in burnt soil
Hi
So far i've used LFS and perlite for my raffs and recently trying on peat moss....and all seem fine.....For my bical its in 100% LFS and at last after 4 months its on its way to make its first pitcher......I don't expect any size on it but well as long as the fangs are there Ken

Re: Some nepenthes that grows reasonable well in burnt soil
As far as I know, bicalcarata and ampullaria grows in peat bogs that are high in acidity. Therefore, I think that they are more suitable to be grown in sphagnum or peat moss.
Cheers
