Pinguicula Mix

Description

The three most important aspects of carnivorous plant care are light, soil, and water. Many tropical Pinguicula are found attached to volcanic rocks, . Since they are rainforest species, keeping the roots damp but not waterlogged yet allowing airflow is critical. We keep ours in an equal mix of peat, perlite, sand, and lava rock. The provided quantity will fill two 3″ pots.

Carnivorous plant substrate should be kept damp at all times and should only be watered with reverse osmosis, distilled, or rainwater. Water that is too high in dissolved solids will eventually kill them as salts build up in the soil and burn the roots.
