Fit for purpose

I am completely new to growing Nepenthes, so I was very reliant on reading care tips from the experts about growing them. One of the big things that kept coming up was that, unlike other more popular carnivorous plants like flytraps and sundews, Nepenthes shouldn't be sitting in water trays, but instead be top-watered into free-draining soil. This mix, containing its big chunks of bark, allows exactly that to happen, and my two Nepenthes (both of which I've since repotted into bigger pots containing this soil mix) are both doing well.
