Grower's N. alata × maxima cutting shows stem skin peeling, base swelling—good sign? Others static. Asked about DIY mix (orchid bark/peat/perlite + live sphagnum top), rinsing bark, mesh pots with live sphagnum.
Swelling = excellent. Roots emerge from cambium through those openings.
Your mix fine. Nepenthes not fussy: drainage + moisture + low fertility. No need to rinse bark. Live sphagnum top dressing good but demands diligent watering.
Mixed opinion. Dry out fast—good for misted greenhouses, bad for homes. Roots grow through mesh → repotting nightmare. Darlingtonia stolons escape through mesh. Not recommended for house plants.
