Storing Carnivorous Plant Soil: Does It Expire?

A customer asked if Sarracenia Northwest's soil mix remains viable if purchased now but not used until next year.

Yes—If Kept Dry

Jacob Farin confirms: Dry soil retains its properties indefinitely. Breakdown only begins once the mix is moistened. Store the unopened bag in a cool, dry place and it'll be just as good next season.

Bonus Tip

Plants from Sarracenia Northwest ship already potted, so you only need extra soil if you're moving a plant to a different container.
