does tap water have minerals
Hey, i live in south Australia and we don’t have pet moss so what should i use?
check out my channel yo
Sphagnum moss
i don’t think i can get peat moss, is there any other thing i can use
yes u can use just peat moss, but expect more frequent watering as the perlite is used to retain more moisture, but yeah you can use just peat moss.
hi everyone lol just use afican violet soil
why cant they make 1 fucking video of caring and info
it will burn the roots and kill your plant
Does anyone know what will happen if I use ONLY peat moss? I know the perlite is to add aeration to the soil, but has anyone used JUST peat moss?
Thanks
Can you use ericaceous soil intead and add perlite/ sand with it?
cos the garden centre recommended i used it as it has got peat moss in it but i read the label and it said it has soluble nutrients, and he said that VFT need poor soil quality
Sorry again. I meant cacium. calcium is horrible for the plant.
Sorry! I meant vermiculite!
Can you mix peat moss, perlite, and vermiculitus (the stuff that holds muisture)?
it would probably die because nutrients is horrible for the plant. it may die. little or no nutrients is good.
This guy can’t mix soil, it goes all over the place
should i plant some moss in my pot to will it make the trap grow better
What happens if you use potting mix that is rich in nutrients?
where can i find peat moss and pur light?but a good type of peat moss and a good type of pur light or the place u got urs
OHNONONONONONONONO!!!!!!!!!! NEVER USE FERTILIZER – imperialcrypt
So you cant use any potting soil? I have Perlite and Spangnum Moss, and miracle grow seed starting soil. (appear the miracle grow soil is made of Moss).. I’m going to try this mixture.
I’ll post back here my results some weeks.
I grow mine in Peat moss and perlite or sand in a 1/1 ratio.
can some1 tell me the ingredients pit moss and what?reply..
this is great to know! now when I get my flytrap I can put it in the right type of soil (because the only store we can get them from re-pots them in nutritious soil)
yo try to keep it in the pot dude
