Peat moss and perlite are soil ingredients we use for most carnivorous plants. These include Sarracenia, Venus Flytraps, Sundews (Drosera), and Terrestrial Bladderworts (Utricularia).

50% Medium Grade - 
This is the standard mix that is suitable for a wide variety of plants. It consists of 50% peat moss and 50% medium grade perlite. It's versatile with a wide range of plant and pot sizes.

60% Fine Grade - 
This mix contains 40% peat moss and 60% fine grade perlite. It's best used with small pots, such as 3-inch and 4-inch pots. It is also a good mix for growing plants in desert climates to regulate soil temperature.

All soil is guaranteed to be free of fertilizers and other contaminants that may harm carnivorous plants. One gallon of soil will fill:

  • two 6-inch pots or
  • six 4-inch pots or
  • twelve 3-inch pots

Carnivore Mix

Posted by Errol Nevalasca on February 12, 2026

I really like this soil mix (50/50 or 60/40). Easy to pot up with just the right amount perlite mixed in for proper drainage. I live in zone 9 and my plants will love this soil mix

Perfect mix for VFT and sarracenia.

Bog soil

Posted by Shawn on September 24, 2025

A basic standard carnivorous soil. The box was damaged, but the contents were not. This was not the fault of the shipper; I would blame the USPS. If they were plants, they would have been damaged.

60% perlite soil mix

Posted by Bruce M on May 16, 2025

This is the mix I use, as I live in the desert southwest. It promotes evaporation to help cool the soil (the plants will go under the 30% shade cloth in June). It was interesting to discover that a finer grade of perlite was used in the mix. I'm currently growing flytraps, sundews, and sarracenia in this mix, all are doing well.

SOIL, GENERAL MIX [GALLON BAG]

Posted by Anonymous Friend on January 9, 2025

USDA Zone 6a-6b The mixed soil is rich and fresh and great to have on hand for future transplanting and for levelling the top soil after it rains.

A Go-to

Posted by M L on December 5, 2024

for all my carnivorous soil needs. I'm so glad SNW now offers Ping soil! Not only is the quality of their soils so much better than other Carn online sellers, but the price is very reasonable. I also love that they offer different soil consistency for those that live in hotter climates. I've been using their soil for years and always have these on stand-by. Wish I could order more than 6 gallons at a time though but I'll take what I can get.
