I only grow Highlanders Nepenthes my small collection are N.Allardii, xVentrata, Lady Pauline, an Black Knight, an my new Lowii x Campanulata. All have been potted with 60% LFS+ 20% Perlite 20% Pine Bark. Is this a decent mix with Highlanders. As I was thinking of repotting Lowii x Campanulata which I only got this week, N.Allardii, xVentrata, Black Knight. I will leave Lady Pauline mix as it seems to like the mix. But the rest I was thinking of replacing it with 50% Coir husk chips with 50% perlite as they can tolerate fertiliser better than LFS of course will have to desalinate it for a couple of days or may leave it to soak for a week an continuously wash it till it reaches below tds reading 50PPM.
Only reason I was thinking of this is its still middle of Winter here in Syd AUS, still have AUG to go till spring, an i want to start using diluted seasol fertiliser for the growing season Get them strong & ready for the Spring an Brutal heat waves of Summer as summer here can average summer Temps of 35-39 even the 40 degree (104) for weeks. As LFS is not good for fertiliser I want to start a routine of coffee feeding an fertilising as a combo as my plants looks stagnant just need a good boost an strength for the months ahead.
