Holy cow Dave! Clipping bark with a scissors!? Sounds like too much work to
me, even for our beloved Nepenthes. Look for small bark (it's always bagged
by size) or, my personal favorite, seedling bark mix. It's often packaged as
"decorative bark" but contains pieces between 1/8 and 1/4"--perfect for use
with coarse perlite and sand. I don't think it's much more expensive than
the bark you're clipping and certainly saves a ton of work and time.
