Nepenthes eymae Soil Mix and Winter Heat Pack

Buyer of N. eymae asked: (1) Does coconut husk/peat mix work? (Some Nepenthes dislike coconut.) (2) Heat pack needed for 35°F lows?

Answers

Yes. Sarracenia Northwest's mix = coconut husk + dried sphagnum (not peat). Tested extensively; N. eymae not coconut-sensitive. Ultra-highland/lowland species may need custom mixes.
Heat pack = smart. Nursery monitors weather, holds shipments if too cold at origin or destination.
