Product details
Description
Carnivorous plants require a completely different environment than typical houseplants — one that is low in nutrients and consistently moist, yet breathable.
Norrsoil Carnivorous Plant Mix is designed to protect delicate root systems by maintaining high moisture levels without adding excess nutrients, ensuring optimal conditions for healthy, natural growth.
Nutrient-Poor by Design: Prevents root damage caused by excess fertilisation
Maintains Consistent Moisture: Keeps roots evenly hydrated without becoming stagnant
Protects Sensitive Root Systems: Gentle structure supports delicate plant needs
Prevents Mineral Build-Up: Helps avoid conditions that can harm carnivorous species
Supports Natural Growth Behavior: Mimics the low-nutrient environments these plants thrive in
- Coco fiber
- Vermiculite
- Sphagnum moss
- Horticultural sand
