Subject: Feeding small nepenthes and soil mix

Hi,

I've got two small N. lowii (3 cm) with 5-6 mm pitchers, and I wonder
how large they must be before they can be pitcher fed. Is there any
other methods that can be used successfully before that, foliar feeding?

I've read about a soil mix used by A. Wistuba which consists of one part
each of Lecaton (clay-beads), Flora (peat) and Styropor (styrofoam). I
can't find the same brands, but I have found similar products, so now I
wonder if anyone have used the mix with different brands than the ones
above?

I have already planted one rooted cutting of N. ventricosa in my own mix
a couple of weeks ago and it seem to prosper, but then it's a hardy
species anyway.

Regards,
