In my experience, Neps are quite happy growing in pure peat per se. The
biggest problem is the human being looking after them, because it is difficult
to keep the peat continually just moist without getting waterlogged or drying
out. Mixing in perlite and/or vermiculite and/or sand improves the drainage
so that overwatering becomes less of a problem.
Good Growing, NigelH
