Grower (Ireland) repotting Nepenthes (ventrata, glabrata, ventricosa, sibuyanensis, jaquelineae). No orchid bark locally. Has peat, perlite, live sphagnum. Can commercial orchid compost work (added nutrients concern)? Wants ratios.
I've grown highland Nepenthes in live moss with great results. Hard to source bulk here. We cultivate some for personal use. Method: bottom ⅓ pot = 1:1 peat:perlite (moisture reservoir); top = live moss. Water daily (moss never dry). Can sit in shallow water (below peat layer). Live moss is extremely airy—no waterlogging if water level low.
Good growing!
