Hi there, there is many type of CP. Each of them may have need difference growing requirement. Below are just rules of tumb, certain species may need special requirement.
Nepenthes
- 50%~70% shaded sunlight
- media - normally we use spagnum moss mixed with others media, like perlite, charcoal, cocochip. You can use cocopeat as well.
- make sure the media is wet. Water it when top of media is dry.
Drosera
- direct sunlight
- spagnum moss + perlite or pure spagnum moss
- 1cm ~2cm water tray
VFT
- direct sunlight (a expert said it is better give it 50% shaded. tropical afternoon sunlight is too strong for VFT and may causing slow grow rate. Im still experience on that)
- spagnum moss + perlite or pure spagnum moss or peat moss + perlite
- 1cm water tray or always wet media
Sarracenia
- direct sunlight
- spagnum moss + perlite or pure spagnum moss
- water tray, prefer half of pot height.
For the media, you can get it from some nursery at Klang Valley.
