Jacob (not Jeff) asked about net pots for 3-year-old Nepenthes repotting—claims better evaporation/cooling/oxygenation. Also: N. rajah in 6" pot with many new leaves—bump pot size or just change soil?
Jacob Farin: Tested net pots—no significant growth difference. Nepenthes soil already airy; aeration benefits plateau. Growth surges from fresh media, not pot type. Net pots not cost-effective. For rajah: judge by appearance—too large for pot? Soil "bad"? Sudden leaf die-off? Fix only if needed. Freshen soil preventatively if desired.
Good Growing!
