Nepenthes soils

To all those expert growers of Nepenthes,

How important is it to maintain the same or similar soil conditions for
cultivated Nepenthes? In other words, is it really necessary to grow plants
that grow in ultra basic in the wild in the same soils? What symptoms would
a plant display if it is grown in the wrong types of soils? What soil does
N. macfarlanei grow in?

If you haven't guessed yet I am having trouble with it. It is a seedling and
is a yellowish green and growing extremely slowly. I can't place my finger
on what is wrong with it (or maybe it is just like that). Comments would be
apprecieated.
