Carnivorous plants need soil that is low in nutrients and allows air to reach the roots while still retaining water. This mix is the same one we use to grow many of the carnivorous plants in our nursery. We recommend it for Venus Flytraps, American Pitcher Plants, Australian Pitcher Plants, Bladderworts and most Sundews. Amounts are measured and shipped dry.
Description
Soil ingredients:
- Organic Sphagnum Peat Moss
- Perlite
- #20 Silica Sand
Soil is free from fertilizer additives. Pre-wet the mix with distilled water before using it to cut down on Perlite dust which is harmful to breathe. Pre-wetting will also make the soil easier to mix and work with when potting plants.
Product may arrive wrapped in an additional layer of recycled plastic reinforced with packing tape to prevent rupture during shipping.

This soil is excellent. A little hard to work with because it sticks to the fingers, but it is perfect for my plant. Thank you.

My 11 year old begged for this plant, she is getting into all different types but seems to gravitate to the carnivorous type more. She is 😊

Great mix for my VFT, but wrapped very excessively with a lot of tape, so it was a hassle to open
