How do I know if my Nepenthes are epiphytic or terrestrial? I have 'Suki', 'Bill Bailey' and 'Lady Luck'. 'Suki' is keeping well above the sphagnum but 'Bill Bailey' is being swamped

If possible I'd like to move them both to a peat based mix

Fred told me they are ....
Nepenthes "Bill Bailey" = Nepenthes singalana x ventricosa

Nepenthes "Lady Luck" = Nepenthes ampullaria x ventricosa

Nepenthes "Suki" = Nepenthes rafflessiana (deep burgundy form) x sibuyanensis (bright orange form)

Personally I would leave them be as they look to be growing well with nice jumps in leaf size , many species as far as I'm aware can grow as terrestrial or epiphytic , suppose it depends on where the seed lands. I trim the moss with scissors to keep it in check .
