This mix is ideal for American pitcher plants, Venus flytraps, most Sundews, and bladderworts.

This bag is made up of about 1 part perlite to 4 parts professional grade peat moss. We use only the highest quality ingredients with our plants and you can too! Our peat moss is the Sunshine brand, professional-grade, milled Canadian sphagnum peat moss. The professional-grade usually isn't available at retail nurseries and costs about twice as much, but is a much finer quality.

One bag will roughly fill 10 of our 2" pots and is about a gallon.

Mixing Instructions:

Mix all of the peat and perlite together in a large bowl. Be sure and wet it with distilled/rainwater before you begin mixing. This will keep the perlite dust to a minimum which is harmful to breathe in. Keep adding water and mixing until it is very soppy wet. Now you're ready to pot 'em up!

When purchasing your own peat and perlite at another nursery or hardware store, Beware of the MiracleGrow brand! There are added fertilizers that are harmful to carnivores.

  • We ship all packages via USPS Priority Mail, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Please note that shipping times do not include processing time of 3 - 15 business days before your order leaves the nursery. Shipping will take 2-7 days on average.

Decent, but a bit small

The bag is a bit smaller than the image shown online. Watch the size before you buy. The soil is good, though.

GRADE-A SOIL FOR YOUR PLANT BABY

Nothing much to say except that it's a bag of dirt, but exactly the dirt for my Red Dragon flytrap (son, which I've named Rath Ruby). Love all the work you do and your youtube channel!

Good quality of soil

California Carnivorous never disappointed me.
It is hard to tell if my plant are doing good because it's their dormancy. I believe my plants are doing good. Can't wait to see them thrive in new/fresh soil.

Excellent mix

As a new hobbyist, the soil mix is a perfect way to start without knowing much about carnivorous plants. It takes the guesswork out of the ratios.

Best Soil for the best plants, perfect!

Glad I bought the best soil. Already mixed with a finer grade of peat than I can get. Another well made product to go with the best plants.
