Give your carnivorous plants the nutrient-free, well-draining soil they need to thrive. This 1/2-gallon bag of 4:1 peat moss and perlite mix is blended to the exact ratio trusted by carnivorous plant growers worldwide — four parts Canadian Sphagnum peat moss to one part horticultural perlite. It's the classic, time-tested substrate for Venus Flytraps, Sarracenia, Sundews, and more.

Features

  • Volume: 1/2 gallon
  • Ratio: 4 parts peat moss to 1 part perlite
  • Peat Moss: Canadian Sphagnum peat — naturally acidic and nutrient-poor
  • Perlite: Horticultural grade — improves drainage and aeration
  • Ready to use: Pre-mixed and ready to pot right out of the bag
  • Suitable for: Venus Flytraps, Sarracenia, Drosera, Pinguicula, and most temperate carnivorous plants

Why This Mix?

What You'll Receive
