Dear list,
Thank you, Perry, for collating the posts on nepenthes soil recipes. The
majority of the mixes seemed to have been designed for greater aeration,
yet from the posts of field observations from various people, nepenthes
seem to grow in very anaerobic soils in the wild. I've mostly read about
sandy or clayey muck, or just compacted humus or detritus as the most
common soil that nepenthes are found in. Obviously, many of these 'airy'
mixes have been successful, but how and why were they ever implemented in
the first place, instead of a mix that was more emulative of the natural
soils?
