Why NutraPeat Is Unsuitable for Carnivorous Plants

A grower asked if NutraPeat (50/50 peat/coir with added fertilizers and microbes) could replace their current peat moss mix.

Fertilizer Kills Carnivorous Plants

Christopher pointed out that the product description explicitly states "organic fertilizers and beneficial microbes are added." Any fertilizer addition is lethal to carnivorous plants, causing root burn and death within weeks.

Safe Soil Components

Use only plain Canadian sphagnum peat moss and perlite or silica sand with no additives. Pre-mixed soils from carnivorous plant specialists guarantee safety.
