QuestionHi! I recently got a N. Dyeriana but I didn't get much information about it(I suppose it's rather rare in cultivation). So my question is can I treat it as a normal lowlander (partial sun, high humidity) and I heard that it preferred well drained mix to regular peaty lowlander mix. Can you please confirm this?
Thank you sincerely.
AnswerHi Tan,
N. x Dyeriana ia a lowland hybrid, and a generally easy to grow big plant. You're always better to stick to a well drained mix with any Nepenthes. Most plants prefer the oxygenation they get from well drained soil. Potted plants often have less oxygenation than plants in nature since they don't get the same kind of circulation from rain, groundwater, bugs, etc...
Good Growing!
