The Ultimate Nepenthes Care Guide - Soil

Nepenthes like to grow in potting mixtures similar to orchids. Many growers use ingredients such as coconut coir, bark, sphagnum moss, perlite and lava rock. Our favorite potting mixture is 50/50 long fiber sphagnum moss and perlite. We only use this and our plants thrive! Make sure the sphagnum is a good quality and the perlite is free of any fertilizer additives. The better-gro orchid moss that’s found at Lowes or Home depot is perfect. Nepenthes love a well draining mixture that stays moist, not waterlogged. unlike most other carnivores, peat moss isn’t preferred by Nepenthes. It’s too muddy and can deprive the roots of oxygen. Avoid regular garden soils or ‘dirt’ this will surely kill your plants.
