    General Soil Mix, Gallon Bag

    Posted by Tiffany on September 8, 2023

    This mix is a great way to re-plant your plants from Sarracenia Northwest. This way, you don't have to buy all of the individual ingredients, and saves quite a bit of money buying it this way! Plus, Sarracenia Northwest has always been my go-to for carnivorous plants and their needs. Only rated 4 stars, because I believe there is always room for improvement, not that this company needs any, they are quite perfect! Customer service is top-notch and so are their plants. Each one I have ordered have arrived in beautiful condition and are thriving at my home. With each plant purchased, they included very detailed instructions on how to care for each plant, and if you have any further questions, the growers are always more than happy to help!

    I bought two bags of this to go in a bog garden I was planning to do. It was the perfect amount of soil and provides the right qualities my carnivorous plants need to stay happy and healthy!

    The only soil I'll trust with my carnivorous plants!

    I always try to keep a stock of this in the house. The plants I get from SNW are always so healthy that they need a repot almost every year. They grow so vigorously.

    Posted by MB on June 8, 2023

    If you're on the fence considering 60/40, just do it. You'll water more but your plants will appreciate it.

    Soil mix

    I was able to pot 8 bare root sarracenia plants with this mix. They are now happily growing their spring flowers. Very convenient for a quick repotting session.
