I've found that most of my Nepenthes don't like being placed
in standing water. The one possible exception is N. mirabilis.
The rest refuse to thrive (for me) when the potting medium
is kept soaking wet all the time.
Now I use a much more airy potting medium and allow it to
"dry off" to the point of being mildy damp before watering
again. The sphagnum on top of the pots starts to look a little
dry when water is needed. Smaller pots need more frequent
watering than larger ones.
