Well I had this plant since last saturday it's still looking good luckily there's been a few days where there's sun or mix of sun and some clouds so it's been getting plenty of light.
I had bought some better-grow brand Orchid moss from Lowes I think someone had said that's chilean moss or something like that is that ok to use for Nepenthes on top of soil and how much should I put on top of the soil?
There's no pitchers on it, but alot of tendrils(Developing pitchers correct?) one of them looked a tiny bit bigger than when I first brought the plant home so that's good I guess.
It's in a 8 inch pot and so far the soil seems ok the water drains nicely and the media seems to be made out of sphagnum peat and LFS that's what it looks like atleast.
Two of the leaves seems to have been damaged which is sad both of them were growing tiny pitchers I'm wondering should I cut the leaf atleast where it's been torn I have pictures to show what it looks like, but it's taking a while to load the other pictures.
The tear is pretty bad pretty muchly it's allmost completly torn off, but its still on it and my guess it happened fairly new since the leaf that's been torn is still green also it seems I have a few fungus gnats buzzing around I wished I've seen them before I did my running around hopefully they will stay away from my Nep till I can get some sticky paper to help get rid of them.. :-(
Here's a few pictures of it I hope it's not too big if so I'll try to resize it.
Picture of it during the day.

This was taken at night to show the distance from where it's hanging from the window.
