We know by now that carnivorous plants are a fascinating addition to any plant collection. They owe this to their unique eating habits and stunning appearance.
To give carnivorous plants a good chance to grow, it is important that they also get soil that suits them perfectly. We at Carnivory.eu understand this, which is why we have the perfect soil for you and your carnivorous plants. Let's take a closer look at that in this blog.
How important is good earth?
As we know, carnivorous plants live on nutrient-poor soil, as they have specific growing conditions that most other houseplants do not have. A nutrient-poor soil is one of them. Carnivorous plants naturally grow up in moist and nutrient-poor environments, such as bogs and moors. It is therefore crucial to mimic their conditions as closely as possible.
Nutrient-poor soil
Carnivorous plants are known to get their nutrients from captured insects and not from the soil. This means that nutrient-rich soil on top of the fact that they catch insects could be incredibly harmful. In addition, nutrient-poor soil is also a form of stimulus, the carnivorous plant now needs to catch its insects to grow. You could almost say that nutrient-rich soil could make plants lazy in addition to damaging. But what then is so harmful about nutrient-rich soil? It could, in fact, be that the carnivorous plant's roots could burn due to excess fertilisers.
Good drainage
Although carnivorous plants naturally thrive incredibly well in a humid environment, it is important to avoid problems such as root rot. Therefore, you need a soil that drains water well but can still retain some moisture, this is essential. A carnivorous plant likes constant, yet subtle humidity around its roots.

- Watering: For carnivorous plants, only use rainwater, reverse osmosis water or distilled water. This is because tap water may contain minerals that can accumulate in the soil and cause damage.
