What is that media you are using for your neps? It doesn't look so good..
 
peat, sand, pumice, charcoal, and orchid bark. It drains quickly and that is what I'm concerned about plus the neps seem to be enjoying it.
 
@gea: most people use long fibered sphagnum rather than peat. but you know know what they say...if it aint broke, dont fix it. but do keep an eye out. :)
 
Yes I am aware of that. I also know that when I repot yearly peat is not a problem. Although I do appreciate the concern of other members my decision about soil is not without knowledge. I have spent a lot of time researching the subject and trying what works for me. I tend not to use LFS because it is such a pain in the butt to remove from roots when repotting. Next go around I may be adding milled sphagnum to my mix.
 
In some conditions, it certainly helps to add some peat to the mix. I know that I should probably use more peat in my mixes.

N. x Pyriformis is a very nice hybrid. I haven't seen it around very often.
