I have one of these plants in a kind of plastic hanging pot type of planter.
Its outgrown it now but I wanted to know what compost/soil whatever to use
to put it into a bigger pot. Is there anything I can buy directly off the
shelf?
Thanks
Roy

Plain peat will be fine.

Repot it into one of those hanging pot things which have a water
reservoir - it is very important (as you will already know) not to let
it dry out.

Doubt you'd get anything off the shelf. Moss peat mixed with washed
sharp sand might be OK, but I've never grown Nepenthes.
Check on www.sarracenia.com/faq
You should find plenty of info on Nepenthes there.

Most Nepenthes are epiphytes so don't need a vast amount of compost,
ordinary peat should be fine.
