Subject: re:Nepenthes in sand

I grow N. rajah, N. mirabilis, and N. mirabilis hybrids in peat/sand with
good results. They grow outside in a bog garden with Cephalotus, Dionaea,
and Drosera. The Nepenthes are in a raised section roughly 3 inches above
the Drosera.
Temperatures range from 2-18 celsius in winter and 15-35 celsius in summer.
It takes a few seasons for Lowlands to adjust but they grow well in summer.
Other Nep's that should grow in peat/sand: N. bicalcarata, N. gracilis, N.
ampullaria + their hybrids.
Good luck!
