FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

I just noticed the peat moss I have says “plus” which is an “organic wetting agent.” I was unable to find what that wetting agent was, I normally mix some peat in for my houseplants, but this time I wanted to use it for some seeds I’m getting. Any clue if how safe it would be for carnivorous seeds? Or if I should pick up different peat moss?

(It would be for pygmy gemmae and sundews)

Do you have any testing equipment/strips for pH, Hardness, TDS, etc.? That will help someone figure out if the soil is useable.

I believe I have some for general pH and for hardness, nothing for TDS however

Under $5.00 on Amazon. I got a Vivoson TDS and pH monitor kit for under $15.00.

Here it is: I've used this peat moss before. My plants paid no attention to the minute amount of yucca extract.

Thank you both Mike and Andy! My bag for some reason doesn’t specify lol. I appreciate the input!!
