Paul and All,
> The only thing that
bothers me is that it's growing in what looks like typical potting soil
(black with white miniature spheres). This can't be good for a
nepenthes, can it???

The 'white miniature spheres' are probably perlite (or the yank equivalent)
suposedly inert and harmless.Its used to open up peat like mixtures and is
probably helping to make the compost free-draining.I use this in virtually
all of my potting compostand all of my plants are fine.
Dont worry about your Nep.
