Subject: Nepenthes?

I just ordered some plants from Cambrian Carnivores.(An internet nursery
which offers a huge variety of plants at very reasonable prices)Website
address coming up.....
They are N.Khasiana and a lowland hybrid (Parentage uncertain so 1/2
price!)
Does anyone know what the best growing medium for these plants is, and
whether a cutting from one of these plants would be happy in a
conservatory?
It is frequently ventilated when the doors are opened, which presents a
humidity problem. Original plants will live in a very large terrarium
along with tropical epiphitic utrics.
Any cultivation tips would be really appreciated!
Also, does anyone know of a U.K. supplier of the legendary growth
hormone Superthrive? (from Florida)
It has been recommended by several people and experts say it is a must
for Nepenthes growers, producing enormous growth spurts and abundant
pitchers on even the most unhappy of plants!( as many Internet accounts
have revealed)
I really want to try this stuff!
Email at will!
