California Carnivores Professional Grade Peat and Perlite Mix
This mix is ideal for American pitcher plants, Venus flytraps, most Sundews, and bladderworts.
This one-gallon 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 12 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.
Customer Reviews
always the best! fast shipping & dependable for quality. my drosera I purchased a few years ago often flowers (giving me even more babies).
I've ordered soil and plants from California carnivores since I started growing Venus flytraps and sundew. Thanks to their products and advice my plants have been thriving these 5 years.
Not sure how to evaluate dirt I just received. I’ve planted the Venus Flytrap in it a few days ago, it seems to be doing well.
My plants is loving the new mix!
Love it as always. My sundews are soo happy their grounds were updated with fresh soil
