Soil Mixes for Cape Sundew, Venus Flytrap, Sarracenia, and Nepenthes

Premier Sphagnum Peat Moss Works for Most

A grower has a large bale of Premier sphagnum peat moss and wants to repot cape sundews (with babies), VFTs, Sarracenia, a Mexican terrestrial bladderwort, and a Nepenthes.

Tailored Mixes for Each Genus

Cape sundews, VFTs, Sarracenia: 50/50 peat moss and silica sand or unfertilized perlite. Use top and bottom watering.
Nepenthes: 1/3 peat, 1/3 coconut husk, 1/3 orchid bark. Top-water only—no tray standing water to avoid root rot.
Mexican bladderwort: Identify species first; likely similar to Nepenthes mix.
