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.
Fantastic. Bought this kit in may of 2022. The pitcher and sundew are still thriving. The fly trap didn't do as well. I have seem to struggle as a novice with planting bare root fly traps. I have planted other bare root fly traps and have had similar problems. Attached are 2 photos of the almost 4 year old pitcher and sundew. Californiacarnivores.com, has been great over the years with questions, so top notch customer services. Highly recommended to get you started right with your enjoyment of carnivorous plants.
Packing job was perfect. I followed instructions from all the videos. I watched on social media from California carnivores and my two little guys are doing great. I put them in candy jars!
