I really need a decent mic... the voice over isn't that great...
And filming when there is some clouds is's my best idea lol
And now I have a Facebook Page.

Trying something with a nepenthes alata here so I will let you know how it works out.
I underestimated the size of this plant though, clearly.
anyway, theres a layer of charcoal, then perlite, then long fibre sphagnum to keep humidity up

I use something similar for my live sphagnum moss and pinguicula that sits in a bowl. My layering is hydroton clay balls, a piece of shade cloth made out of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), charcoal, peat moss, then the dead and live sphagnum moss. For the pinguicula after the peat moss layer it's a mixture of akadama (red clay), pumice, and orchid bark.

I think it helps keep things fresh and makes sure that water collecting in the bottom doesnt go all gross and stagnant.
But i very well could be wrong.
I just know that every terrarium i put charcoal in stays healthy

@Lloyd Gordon , is that a tray under the pots?
No tray. The pots sit on the bottom. Some drain to the bottom and suck up water from the bottom of the pots. Some have pot-bottoms and get water from frequent spraying.

I grown 2 nepenthes alta for 2 years under grow light.The plants got to big to fit in the glass tank I put them in.I moved to window sill.Unfortunately the sill too small so i moved outside untill I move other plants.They got baked outside later.R.I.P Garry and Larry the pitcher plants.
