Description

A specialist compost designed to recreate the unique growing conditions carnivorous plants need to thrive. This carefully balanced mix supports healthy growth while maintaining the low-nutrient environment essential for species such as Venus flytraps, pitcher plants and sundews.

Blended from peat and sand, it mimics natural wetland soils—retaining moisture while remaining free-draining and low in nutrients. With no added feed, it allows you to maintain full control over growing conditions, ensuring plants develop as they would in their natural habitat.

Ideal for repotting or growing from seed, this is a reliable, purpose-made mix for maintaining healthy and vibrant carnivorous plants.

The Nunhead Gardener Recommends:

Repot annually, ideally in early spring before new growth begins. Use rainwater or distilled water only, and avoid adding fertiliser to maintain the correct growing conditions.
