Jake asks if Miracle-Gro works on Sarracenia, flytraps, sundews, tropical pitchers. Heard it's bad for tropicals.
Miracle-Gro acid fertilizer (blue box, now "Rhododendron & Azalea") used for years on Sarracenia, flytraps, sundews—keep very dilute. For tropicals (Nepenthes, butterworts), orchid fertilizers (epiphytic formulas) are better. Never heard if standard Miracle-Gro harms Nepenthes, but it burns Mexican butterworts. Best foliar feeds are urea-free. Max ¼ tsp/gal. Fertilizer only helps if culture is already good.
Good Growing!
