Soil Sunrise Carnivorous Plant Potting Soil Mix (1 Quart) Ideal Additive for Venus Fly Traps, Sundews, and Pitcher Plants

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Everyone has been satisfied with this product and now I’m satisfied with the same product.

This is a great mix for Venus flytraps as you can see from my pictures. First one was early spring and second one is from November 2nd. It works great my traps loved it and have grown really well. It’s soft and nicely aerated but the perlite seems to rise when it rains. I think perlite just does that as I used a different brand before and the perlite also rose. Definitely wet it before use and be sure to rinse it so you can get the dissolved solids out of it as you can see. Price wise is also great getting 8 quarts for 16-1$ is better than what other companies offer. Highly recommend just bought more will create an update probably next year again if I encounter any issues.

Best VFT potting soil I’ve found yet!

This is an easy one. I bought a venus flytrap that I wanted to put in a small terrarium to thrive for more than a couple of weeks, and needed the proper medium for its survival. As one who had previously cared for a small a aquarium with several flytraps, I am familiar with the care and feeding of these plants, but no longer had the proper materials to economically create my own mix. So, despite this being relatively expensive for what is provided, it’s the correct combination of soils and amendments, and I don’t have to store partially-used bags of DIY materials that would probably get dumped on the floor or eventually just thrown away.Sometimes it’s smarter to just pay the $ and get just what you need rather than trying to save money by rolling your own and winding up with too much stuff.

Great

The soil overall is good with one exception. The soil initially took many hours to be absorbed with water. Never had this problem with other specialty soil. You need to mix with water, then it absorbs normally. Mixing separately can be messy. I will go back to other soils I have used.

This is the good stuff. I highly recommend it. As you can see, my first bunch of Venus fly traps over grew. I just separated that bunch of venus fly traps into a bigger flower pot. All of those Venus Fly Traps are from the first picture. I separated them March 15 2025. If you notice there's new growth already. They just came out of dormancy since December. I've been using this dirt since they were little babies.

I chose this product because I could get it quickly with shipping paid. It was also a smaller size, and I only had one small plant to repot. It fully met my requirements.
