Best Soil for Sarracenia purpurea, leucophylla, rubra: Peat/Perlite/Sand, Rinse Peat Well

Sarracenia aren't picky if the mix drains and lacks nutrients. Good options: peat/perlite, peat/sand, or peat/perlite/sand (1:1:1). Venus flytraps prefer slightly better drainage (more sand) or larger pots.

Critical: Use baled peat moss, not bagged (often Miracle-Gro with fertilizer). Soak, drain, and flush peat before use to leach mineral salts. See peat moss warning thread.
