A grower asks two questions: the appropriate soil mix for Drosophyllum (dewy pine) using only peat and perlite, and whether Heliamphora can thrive outdoors in Puerto Rico alongside a healthy Darlingtonia.
The ideal mix is equal parts peat moss, perlite, pumice, and sand. If only peat and perlite are available, use 1 part peat to 3 parts perlite for adequate drainage.
Heliamphora can grow outdoors in Puerto Rico if daytime temperatures don't consistently exceed 90°F. A grower on Hawaii's Big Island successfully cultivates them outdoors. Provide shelter from intense afternoon sun. Since Darlingtonia requires cool nights and is thriving, your microclimate may support Heliamphora with proper sun protection.
