Hi All,

  What makes a wood substrate for Nepenthes medium usable? I have heard
people using anything from orchid bark to pine chips with apparent success.
  Are there woods/bark chemically unsuitable? Do people use orchid bark over
much cheaper garden center stuff because it's sterile? If so, how does one
sterilize bark?
   Some people don't use any bark in their mediums.
   What pros and cons have people noticed to any of these questions? Any
input would be very interesting to me, and hopefully others.

Regards,
