Hey Everyone,

I am going to pot my Nepenthes into a larger hanging pot and I would like some recommendations on substrate to use to give my plant the best home.

Thanks in Advance!

I personally like LFS with pearlite in it. You can also use pumice, orchid bark(no fertilizer), lava stone, anything to add drainage.

I just threw mine in with 50/50 peat/perlite with NZLFSM on top.

Nothing special and the plant loves it.
