Worth every penny!I was one of those newbies who bought a carnivorous plant soil mix from Amazon and boy I regret it! I ended up having to buy more perlite to try and make it usable and it still doesn't drain too well. This growing medium, on the other hand, is amazing! It really is night and day. It's definitely money well spent if you want happy carnivorous plants!
I laughed a little when I realized it came in a black garbage bag, but considering how many soil bags I've accidentally ripped open in the past, I'm happy to have something sturdier to store it in!Posted on

Will buy againI had to throw my first attempt at growing carnivorous plants from seeds away. This was partly due to my own ineptitude but I think the larger problem was the "bargain" soil I got from Amazon. It was very hydrophobic but once you got it wet, it STAYED wet for a very long time.
The FlytrapStore Growing Medium I ordered just arrived today and I can already tell a huge difference. There is less perlite in the FlytrapStore Growing Medium and it is a much finer grain than the Amazon soil. This allows for a much more even surface to scatter the tiny carnivorous plant seeds on. The Amazon soil had some rather large twigs in it which might be good for aeration in larger pots, but I think the FlytrapStore growing medium works out better in my tiny seedling starter pots. Also, it gets wet much easier than the Amazon soil.
I can tell this soil was mixed by someone who cares about the plants I will be growing and not someone who is cutting costs anywhere they can. That means a lot to me. I should be set on growing medium for a while now, but once I use this up, I know where I am going to get more.

Definitely worth it!We had no previous experience growing VFT's when we bought some sad and pathetic specimens from our local hadware store for $1 each figuring we had nothing to lose (except $2). We've had them in this soil for almost four years and they are still thriving!

worth itOrdered this on a mon and got it by thur! Much sooner than expected. It is exactly as described, and more than enough for the beginner hobbyest (like me) who only wants a trap or two but always seems to find a sad and lonely trap at the hardware store and wants to give it a good home (like me). I couldn't find the right ingredients locally and ordering each online would have cost triple for an obscene amount that I would never be able to use up. I am confident that I bought high quality soil that my traps will thrive in, from people who are clearly passionate about what they do.

Would highly recommend.I can't say how well this stuff works for a VFT, but I will tell you that my Cephalotus loves it. I wish I could post pictures of then and now but when I tell people my Cephalotus is only about 18 months old they insist it has to be a 3-4 year old plant. Great product.

Best dealI was one of those penny pinchers that attempted to shop around and make my own mixture. Major fail. These ingredients were hard to find and came in very large bags. I should have just saved myself the trouble from the start. My VFT are doing great in the soil mixture I got here and it came with so much more than I imagined. My collection will be able to expand without having to worry about buying any more soil for awhile. For anyone with doubt, trust me, this is the best way to go.

Great MixI just bought another large bag of the Flytrap Store Mix for any future carnivore plants. My other plants are doing GREAT with the first order of this mix and the New Zealand moss. I figure that I've saved money by buying from Flytrap Store, not counting the time that I have saved from not driving all over town for the mixture. Thus Flytrap Store = Great Products and SAVING MONEY.

Great StuffThis mix added with the New Zealand moss has really added life to my carnivore plants. The price is less than the price of fuel for me to travel all over town trying to find the materials to make the same mix. The delivery was real fast......only took 3 days, and it was a lot more than I needed since I bought the larger size...... could not pass up the great deal. I now have extra for future use. This is a MUST if you care for your plants.
