How To Care For a Venus Flytrap : How to Prepare the Best Potting Mix Used for Venus Flytraps

[anythingeverything00]

is it fine to use cut up outdoor moss and outdoor sand

[BOOM3headshots]

WOW.... I use pure sphagnum peat moss, and I mean the long fiber stuff, not the ground up moss. My plants are doing great! They practically spread like weeds inside the outdoor terrarium (I live in SoCal so they need the extra humidity, but the terrarium is large enough so that they don't over-heat)

[bladefans123]

true dat

[bdhcarbon]

perlite, not pearl light

[megastagbeetle]

Is it posibble for the plant to grow seperate patches like how other plants release seeds and the seeds grow the same plant?

[INMORTAL12345]

i just buy my plant there is another sustitute for poor groud like normal sand and no rich earth ??

[dimebagshreds2000]

does tap water have minerals

[Alexo28rules]

Hey, i live in south Australia and we don't have pet moss so what should i use?

[whotfsru]

[Lukasound08]

Sphagnum moss

[lightingthundercloud]

hi everyone lol just use afican violet soil

[nigaplzitzron]

why cant they make 1 fucking video of caring and info

[ucbaria04]

Does anyone know what will happen if I use ONLY peat moss? I know the perlite is to add aeration to the soil, but has anyone used JUST peat moss?

Thanks

[whotfsru]

yes u can use just peat moss, but expect more frequent watering as the perlite is used to retain more moisture, but yeah you can use just peat moss.

[TW93AW]

Can you use ericaceous soil intead and add perlite/ sand with it?

cos the garden centre recommended i used it as it has got peat moss in it but i read the label and it said it has soluble nutrients, and he said that VFT need poor soil quality

[MusicKid516]

Can you mix peat moss, perlite, and vermiculitus (the stuff that holds muisture)?

[MusicKid516]

Sorry! I meant vermiculite!

[jeishun]

This guy can't mix soil, it goes all over the place

[Shoot1ngStar]

@jeishun lol

[Roelisc]

@jeishun it's fucking earth. god damn!

[crossbones1100]

should i plant some moss in my pot to will it make the trap grow better

[PhoenixBorealis]

What happens if you use potting mix that is rich in nutrients?

[MusicKid516]

it would probably die because nutrients is horrible for the plant. it may die. little or no nutrients is good.

[MusicKid516]

Sorry again. I meant cacium. calcium is horrible for the plant.

[stevie301271]

it will burn the roots and kill your plant

[crossbones1100]

where can i find peat moss and pur light?but a good type of peat moss and a good type of pur light or the place u got urs

[hellraiserlEEt]

OHNONONONONONONONO!!!!!!!!!! NEVER USE FERTILIZER - imperialcrypt

[imperialcrypt]

So you cant use any potting soil? I have Perlite and Spangnum Moss, and miracle grow seed starting soil. (appear the miracle grow soil is made of Moss).. I'm going to try this mixture. :D

I'll post back here my results some weeks.

[tiracdemonhunterfear]

can some1 tell me the ingredients pit moss and what?reply..

[austo13]

I grow mine in Peat moss and perlite or sand in a 1/1 ratio.

[ZakeirSnake]

this is great to know! now when I get my flytrap I can put it in the right type of soil (because the only store we can get them from re-pots them in nutritious soil)

[OMFGwhatisgoingon]

yo try to keep it in the pot dude

[jetset59]

Salica sand. Is that just regular sand or is that a special sand. Can you tell me about that?
