Oh. I have seen multiple people come through this forum with the same problem with Amazon "carnivorous plant soil". If you aren't mixing your own, then I would agree with testing and rinsing.

Seems like it was "Perfect Plants" or something like that. Seems I read where a user had good luck with it and then next time he ordered it it was not good for the plants. Home Depot shows that they handle it as does Amazon.

Would you please provide more detail how you test for salts and your rinsing/bathing procedures for coir?

I found the answer. You would need an EC meter to test for salts. I bought the one below and did not realize it also has an EC meter.
