How to Use:
- Choose a pot with drainage holes to avoid waterlogging.
- Fill the pot halfway with the mix.
- Position your Nepenthes, ensuring the roots are well-spread.
- Add more mix to cover the roots and gently press down.
- Water thoroughly with distilled or rainwater.
Care Tips:
- Always use distilled, rainwater, or reverse osmosis water to avoid mineral buildup.
- Maintain high humidity (70–90%) and provide bright, indirect light.
- Repot every 1–2 years to refresh the soil and support healthy growth.
