Perfect Plants Carnivorous Plant Soil, 4 qt, Venus Fly Trap Potting Mix

I bought this stuff because my regular stuff was out of stock. It took a while to get to me and when it did come, it was pretty much just overpriced peat moss.

This worked well for my new plants. Easier to find this type of soil on Amazon.com than any of our local stores.

I recently purchased the Perfect Plants Carnivorous Plant Soil and used it to repot two of my prized plants—Venus Fly Traps and a Pitcher Plant. After two weeks of use, I must say, this organic premium mix has exceeded my expectations! The soil has excellent drainage and provides a perfect environment for these unique plants to thrive. I’ve noticed that my plants are not only alive but also looking healthier and more vibrant than ever. The mix seems to retain just the right amount of moisture while preventing waterlogging, which is crucial for the health of carnivorous plants. Overall, I am very pleased with this product and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to give their carnivorous plants the best possible care. A fantastic buy that truly delivers on its promises!

Good shipping, on time. On one order, it weighed a little over and the second order, barely less in quantity. Clean looking soil, doesn't have any odd or unintended compounds or other growths. I bought this soil because my venus fly trap plants outgrew their containers. I took note of how you should rinse all soils and use a TDS meter to indicate <50ppm. It took 5 gallons of DI water to get it down to the 70ppm level. I 3D printed tall pots with a drain-catch so I could continue to monitor the water quality to indicate minimal TDS. I left the original soil plug around the rhysome so that I can top water, therefore the water would continue gravity flush the contamination over time. After mixing with perlite, I filled the pots and installed the plants. After the initial to soak, good visual absorption was noted. The plants showed very little shock the first week, but now VFT growth has exploded again. Now, over this time, the TDS reading has consistently been in the 28 to 37 range. I now put the pots in a deep water sauce so the can be bottom watered like the should be. So the take home message for who needs any soil from anyone/brand, soak and rinse BEFORE USE!!!.... AND read the tds/ppm!!!... get it below 50 at least before potting your VFTs.

I bought this for a Venus flytrap.. I picked it up from Walmart and since I moved to a pretty humid State I was like oh maybe I can just throw it outside I honestly didn't expect it to survive all summer into the fall but somehow it's alive and I am pretty sure it's due to this soil and distilled water and rain what can I say they like it
