California Carnivores Professional Grade Peat and Perlite Mix
1399
$ 13.99
Unit price/ per
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.

Perfect for Sarracenia
I used this mix to transfer my beautiful Sarracenia to a larger container. Very easy to handle. My Sarracenia is much brighter and happier, adapted to the new soil right away.
This is a remarkable, gorgeous flytrap. Unfortunately, the squirrels in my yard seemed to think so too, as they managed to completely destroy it. I'm getting ready to try again, and it's totally worth it!
This is a really fun flytrap!
It arrived in fantastic shape, very well packaged and protected. I wish I had more time to admire it befor it goes dormant, but I know it's gonna be SPECTACULAR when it wakes up next spring!
The plants came packaged very securely. I did not have a drop of dirt spilled and the plant was in perfect condition when it arrived. The plant is doing well in its new home now. I would highly recommend California Carnivores.
