Question
Thanks again for your excellent answer about this bog plant on Dec. 14, 2008. The plant is still doing well. I have purchased MiracleGro sphagnum peat moss and perlite for repotting the plant, but I notice that you said to another questioner that all MiracleGro products have fertilizer that will be harmful to bog plants. I just want to verify that this is true, and request your recommendation of a brand name of peat moss and perlite that will be OK.

Thanks,

Lenore

Answer
Hello Lenore,

You can purchass plastic wrapped baled of sphagnum moss that say premium Canadian sphagnum peat. It comes in dry bales in 1 or 2 foot cubes and can be found in nurseries and garden centers. I tend to go the easy route and just buy from carnivorous plant suppliers so I can be assured that the product will be safe. I buy directly from cobraplant.com and get my soil from them pre-mixed.
