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.

I had gotten some Droseras from a different company a few months ago, before I knew about Curious Plant, and the soil that I purchased with them smelled so bad, I know peat has an odor, but phew, it was bad. I bought some of this soil for my Droseras and the difference is night and day. No odor and my Droseras love it. They did have a little transplant shock, but recovered to look better than they did before. Thanks Curious Plant!

Second time ordering a 1 gallon shipment of soil. Shipped perfectly in secure packaging and in a very timely matter. Soil mixture is great for my Rosera Regia and two DC-XL Flyraps. A+ materials.
