Carnivorous plants don’t play by the same rules as other plants. They thrive in low-nutrient, acidic conditions where ordinary soils would burn their roots. That’s why we created KillerSoil™ — a specialized blend of sphagnum peat moss, perlite, silica sand, and diatomaceous earth (DE) to mimic their natural bog habitats.
With no fertilizers, no compost, and no additives, KillerSoil™ keeps your flytraps snapping, sundews dewing, and pitcher plants filling their tubes without the risk of mineral burn.
Why KillerSoil™ Works:
Nutrient-Free Formula – Protects sensitive roots from fertilizer burn.
High Drainage & Aeration – Sand and perlite prevent root rot in boggy conditions.
Acidic Environment – Peat maintains the low pH carnivores require.
Moisture Holding – Holds water evenly, perfect for tray watering methods.
Clean & Consistent – Each batch is blended to exacting standards for healthy traps.
Perfect For:
Bog Asphodel, Bog Bean, Bog Cranberry, Bog Laurel, Bog Rosemary, Bog Violet, Cephalotus, Cloudberry, Cranberry, Darlingtonia, Dionaea, Drosera, Heliamphora, Labrador Tea, Leatherleaf, Marsh Marigold, Meadow Beauty, Nepenthes, Pitcher Plant, Pinguicula, Sundew, Sphagnum Moss, Swamp Pink, Sweet Gale, Utricularia
