Question: Cool, rainy spring in San Diego; Sarracenia slow. Worried peat moss (from greenhouse) may have fertilizer. Symptoms? Where to get pure peat?
Answer: Slow start is normal—our plants are a month behind too. Compressed bales (Lowe's, Home Depot, Ace) are packaged at harvest and safe. Loose bags may have cross-contamination. Your Ace bale should be fine. Chalk it up to weather.
If you have a greenhouse, bring plants in to force growth.
Happy growing!
