So, here's a general call to nepenthes growers. Please post the
recipe for your potting mix if it's _different_ from sphagnum
and perlite.

I use the following mixture (all ingredients are by voulme):

40% pine bark chips (this stuff is easy to aquire here and comes in
large bags, used for mulching beds)

20% chopped osmunda fiber

10% peat moss

10% large-grained silica sand.

10% long-fibered sphagnum moss

5% perlite (horticultural grade)

5% horticultural charcoal

This mix drains well and seems to work great for both my lowland and
highland plants. The last time I potted up some neps I took a pH reading
from the above mix. It came in around 5.0-5.5.
