I want to grow some Venus fly traps but i"m not sure what soil to use and what brand is the best cause some contain fertilizer and i know Venus fly traps will die if they get fertilizer. Does anyone know the best mix to use and maybe what brand there are :?:

Don't use fertiliser at all. The much preferrd soil are sterile peat moss or sphagnum moss. Choice to mix with perlite. Read up the guild of this website. There's alot of good basics.
