Nepenthes 🧐
Hi community 👋
Recently I moved my nepenthes to a new coco coir pot which has peat moss and little perlite from his old mix 🪴
I put it in a close recipient so it can have some moisture since my weather tends to be dry and cold 🧊
I am thinking of letting the recipient open in the low part (its a big hole 🕳️ ) so the coco coir can breath when it is indoors.
Do you think it's a good idea overall? Or do I need another kind of soil and leave the recipient always open for the coco coir? 🤔
(Side note, I've never had coco coir pots before)
Greeting's to y'all 💐🫰

Sooooo after a week of experimenting I can conclude a few things:
1.- Yes, coco coir pots are not good for this setting. Green mold started to form in the rim since it touched the walls of the plastic recipent. So I recomend buying a different hanging pot to put it inside.
2.- You can use 1/2 spoon of baking soda dissolved in a cup of water and a soft brush to apply the mix. Leave it for 10 mins then brush it gently and the green mold will disappear.
3.- I will use the plastic container only when the weather is too cold.
4.- Acclimating my nepenthes for around 6 months was a great idea since it is thriving in its new place by the window. I just had to be confident and trust in it to be okee in the outside.
