Nepenthes 'DeRoose Alata' Rescue: Ditch the Compost, Wait 2 Months

Flea market N. 'DeRoose Alata', dry soil, dead pitchers, repotted in peat:perlite:compost? Remove compost.

Fix

  • Soil: 1:2 peat:perlite (or other nutrient-free mixes).
  • Compost = nutrients = root burn.
  • Full morning sun + filtered afternoon (Jacksonville, FL) = good.

Timeline

~2 months for new pitchers. Fast adapter.
