What mix did you use for that Cephy D? Looking good though, nice green growth from that new forming pitcher.

Just sphagnum peat moss I did run pure water through it til it drained and repeated when water did not drain I planted it been planted since Thursday I got it the Friday before but did not plant it right away I did not aerate the media cause I ran out but even in pure peat it is making 3 new pitchers I made a few holes in the media for watering so water does not flood the surface, I also use the tray now and then, but nothing special in my mix I might mix grounds of coffee once a month to see how it doe.

No worries man. A good tip someone once gave me was; Always keep about 2-5 mm of water in the tray. Give the plant a day to dry out between topping the tray off, things should be fine. The only thing about pure peat is that the substrate doesn't allow much drainage. (which these guys like)

(which these guys like) Yeah I heard 4 liters of pure water will make 20 liters of sphagnum peat moss damp in a few hours because dry peat moss is like a sponge I usedry sphagnum peat moss for plants that like moisture just because it means less watering. I do make holes for the water to go below the media surface and dampen media under the surface where the roots hide

The sphagnum peat is nice for moisture. Just mind when it starts to grow, it's known for 'choking' plants out.
