Hi! :D
I’ve got a Nepenthes in a 4” pot that needs repotting, bad. I got the plant right when I began and wasn't experienced and had no idea of repotting it. Now, it is heavily root bound and not producing healthy pitchers. It’s also killing off some of its leaves so I need to act.
At the moment, I have some Carnivorous Plant Nursery Nepenthes Soil and am thinking about Orchid Sphagnum Moss from Amazon since I don’t have enough CP Nursery soil. Also, what’s the best place to buy pots that won’t harm CPs?
When I repot, I am going to begin acclimating the plant outside for the summer.
Thank you!
Cheers.

Nepenthes are pretty much epiphytes and don't get "root bound". If your media is going bad i suggest "besgrow spagmoss" and perlite it will last many years. I start my plants in a 5in pot with heavy perlite and go up on the pot size when I cant keep up with watering. I just pack pure spag around that plug in a larger pot.
