I prefer to choose what nutrients are added to my media, and when. It is not possible when some stores around here only sell miricle grow enriched whatever..I mean who needs enriched sand, or mositure retaining soil or ferts in peat moss. They are talking the art and science out of growing plants and encouraging folks to only grow what can live in one size fits all media.
Well..I'm currently doing experiments with miracle grow orchid mix for use with nepenthes....so far, I've found that N.ventricosa can grow well in it, despite the fertillizer and off the charts PPM level.
So you better watch your plant for a whole year when testing a new substrate: Awakening from the winter rest, flowering, setting seeds, preparing for the winter, winter resting. And if everything is OK with the plants for the second year too, the substrate most likely works perfectly, at least with your cultivation conditions.
Not every intoxication is showing up immediately, some need a long time to poisoning the whole plant from rhizome to the leaves, and a creeping poisoning may not become visible instantly or within a few weeks.
