Casey, could you tell me whats the best substrate to use to keep them? I got my wild Nepenthes . sp(M) which I planted it on peat moss and it doesn't seem to do well with it. I keep it outdoors and water it daily. Any ideas?

Im not really 100% sure which is the best. But, I didn’t hear that use peat moss to keep it. So far, media that normally use are sphagnum moss, or coconut chips. Some nepenthes even growing nice in burnt soil.

The plant produce pitcher? Personally as a nep newbie, if my plant produce pitcher in each leaf, I will very happy liao…

Did you fertilizing yours plant? Where you keep it? Most of nepenthes like 50% shade environment place. Some sp. is not a easy plant.

I mean, I use sphagnum moss as substrate. It does produce pitchers.. but they will dry up and die in matter of days!
I din't fertilize them and I hang it just outside my house.
