Hi Dave:

What type of fertilizer do you use?

So far, the only thing I feed my plants is tubifex freeze dried
worm cubes. And, the growth I've been experiencing lately has
been due more to humidity and heat and light than fertilizer.
I'd like to try a fertilizer that won't hurt or stunt the
Nepenthes plants.
