Hello, everyone,
So I am pretty new to both this forum and CPs. My first and only Nepenthes is a cross between a ventricosa and a northiana. I think they call is a N. Syurga, and I haven't been able to find any info on this hybrid. So I was reading that peat and sphagnum stunt the growth of northianas...but wondering whether that effect is countered at all by having ventricosa in the mixture. My little plant pitchers at a rate of about one per month.
Can anyone give me some advice on the sphagnum and peat? I have it potted in a peat/perlite/vermiculite/orchid bark mixture, with live sphagnum on top.
Thanks!
