    sarracenia soil mix

    Posted by Penny Lindlau on May 18, 2014

    do not know what to say. I bought this to have on hand when my new plant needs to be repotted. It arrived with my plant and is patiently waiting to be used. It is well packaged and nicely labeled so I don't use it as regular potting soil. What more can be said.

    Very Well

    I like how the price is affordable and it comes pre-mixed. If I were to make the mixture for my plants myself I would have to spend over 30 dollars. I purchased one bag and it has been used for two plants already. It stills has a lot in it left. It is also good quality. I highly recommend purchasing this soil from the website. Same goes for the all the other kinds of soil.

    Just What I Needed

    I don't know why it's impossible to find perlite in our area that isn't amended with fertilizer, but it is. Thank goodness Sarracenia offers unfertilized 50/50 peat/perlite soil!

    Cheap and plenty.

    After ordering several small potted plants, I had enough plant points to make this a free purchase with several bigger pots. The soil is high quality and my plants received their soil transfer with little fuss.

    Perfect Stuff

    Posted by Stefani on September 4, 2013

    Some of my pygmy sundews were ready to reproduce so I packed some little pots and dropped the gemmea on the soil. They love it! Other sundews have been repotted with it and had minimal shock and recovery time. Excellent! Thank you!
