Nepenthesis

You probably already know this, but just in case you don't...
When you get one, care for it perfectly. I lost mine due to root rot and I was watering it just as much as my other Nepenthes. I had a big mound of live Sphagnum on top, which may have made matters worse (but I have had that in most of my Nepenthes pots since I got Sphagnum with no issues). IIRC you plant some of your Nepenthes in those cool tall glass containers, right? Make sure whatever you plant it in drains really well. I wish I had known how susceptible to root rot they were when I had mine. Just for safety, I wouldn't put too much live Sphagnum on top unless you can find a really low-growing compact species.
