Peat and Perlite Mix

Description

The three most important aspects of carnivorous plant care are light, soil, and water. This mix is a 50-50 mix of unfertilized peat and perlite and works best as the substrate for bog native carnivorous plants such as Venus flytraps, Sarracenia pitcher plants, and sundews.

Bog native carnivorous plants should be kept in a shallow tray of reverse osmosis, distilled, or rainwater at all times. Water that is too high in dissolved solids will eventually kill them as salts build up in the soil and burn the roots.
