Carnivorous Plants 5LT - Vigorplant

Substrate specifically designed for Carnivorous plants.

Vigorplant Carnivorous Plant Substrate is a specially formulated mix designed to meet the unique needs of carnivorous plants, also known as insectivorous or meat-eating plants. These fascinating plants have evolved specialized systems to capture and digest insects, and they require a specific substrate to thrive.

Key Features:

• Optimal Acidity: The carefully selected blend of Baltic and Irish peats maintains a low pH (below 5), which is essential for carnivorous plant growth.

• Nutrient-Poor Environment: Carnivorous plants obtain nutrients primarily from insect digestion, so this substrate is low in nitrogen and other nutrients that could hinder their insectivorous abilities.

• Excellent Drainage and Water Retention: The combination of peat mosses and perlite provides both excellent drainage and water retention, preventing overwatering and ensuring a moist yet well-aerated environment for the roots.

• Enhanced Root Aeration: The inclusion of perlite, a mineral-based material, promotes adequate soil aeration, which is crucial for healthy root development and overall plant growth.

Benefits:

• Promotes Healthy Carnivorous Plant Growth: Provides the ideal conditions for carnivorous plants to thrive and capture insects effectively.

• Maintains Low pH: Ensures the acidic environment that carnivorous plants require for optimal nutrient uptake.

• Prevents Overwatering: Offers a well-draining yet moisture-retentive structure to prevent root rot and promote healthy root development.

• Enhances Aeration: Improves air circulation around the roots, contributing to overall plant health and vigor.

Composition:

• Baltic peat 0–10 mm
• Brown peat 0–5 mm
• Selected perlite
