Chris (Ireland) repotting 3 Nepenthes (sanguinea, DeRoose alatas). Current: sanguinea in 1:1:1 peat:perlite:sand; alatas unknown (garden center). Wants peat-free. Found live sphagnum (not dried) locally. Is live sphagnum + perlite too wet?
10 growers = 10 mixes. Nepenthes tolerate wide range if low-nutrient, aerated, well-draining. For peat-free: 1:1 dried sphagnum:perlite. With live sphagnum, skip perlite (it's airy enough). Bottom ⅓ pot: 1:1 peat:perlite for moisture reservoir; top: live moss. Water daily (moss never dry). Can sit in shallow water (below peat layer).
Good growing!
