a mixture of Soil for Venus FlyTrap

[moy1moy1]

Bro, thanks pod sa imong input but i've researched nga ang coco peat dili maau for VFT kay mu-release man xa ug salt content nga makadaut sa plant. I got this link diay here... Carnivorous Plants: Coco Peat for Venus Flytraps, growing venus flytraps, coco peat

tungod mn guru na sa sodium content sir? dpat washed man ang cocopeat then mixed with perlite ma neutralized ang salt then ma enhance ang ph.. pero para sure ayaw nlng pud gmet ug cocopeat hehehe..

depende man gud sa klase pud sa VFT, hehe kai akung pitcher plant sauna nabuhi rmn pud to sa cocopeat

OT:
kung mugkan ko babag2, unsay skyan nku pdung dha inyu sir? nahan njud keu ku muplit sa balloon...

I use a mixture of perlite + sphagnum moss + a little coco peat and grated bark of old trees (I collected after raining para ma sterilize). ok man kaayo for me and my plants looks healthy.

The reason why I have coco peat is because I couldn't find the perlite and moss before and I had to repot my carnivorous plants when I got it. nag panic gamay kay wa nako na-andam, but all is good. My pitcher plants are "pitchering" ang mg VFTs are growing new traps.

Sakto si moy1moy1...the reason why cocopeat might not work for some VFTs is because of the source, basin duol sa dagat gikan ang cocopea thats why naay gamay salt content.

Just don't buy the coco peat purely intended to be a "potting mix" because some manufacturers mix it with other organic materials, compost, manure and fertilizers-- para pang sprout ug seeds. That's NOT the coco peat for your Venus Fly traps.

The other day I bought coco peat form Piper's pet shop.. repacked in tiny plastics that cost P15 each. For sure wala to sagol organic fertilizers etc because its intended to be the substrate for tarantula/scorpion enclosures.

Sakto bai, sodium content gyud na labi na kung naa daplin sa dagat nabuhi ang lubi. pwede cguro ang cocopeat if paulanan or cgehan ug bis2x ug tubig pero kanang wala pay tanum.

yeah mao pod na akong fear kay basin ang coco peat nga baligya kay dili na pure, basin naa na gamay fertilizer nga mkadaut sa VFT. Mao nga if naa koy makit an nga peat moss kana gyud akong gamiton, as i've said sa previous nga post nakakita nko ug perlite anha sa SM ground floor kanang mga namaligya ug tanom. ang naa daw nila kay "coco quire" (not sure sa spelling sa "quire") and i didn't know if that is the same as coco peat.

Sakto cguro na bai sa pipers kay for tarantula ug scorpion man na ang ila. Maybe if wala gyud ko makit an, basin palit nlang pod ko anang sa pipers nga coco peat.

Thanks sa mga input nin u mga bro.^^

I've tried using Philippine moss kanang baratohon lang para orchids sa ako VFT with coco husk and a little bit of cocopeat on the top. Ako lang gi hugasan pag ayo ang cocopeat, Moss and coco husk ug water rains. Then soak it for about 4 days while draining some water and fill-in again every 2 days. However, some VFT or CP growers says that Philippine moss has lot of phatogen done sphagnum moss but so far my VFT is currently smiling. Lastly, you may re-pot your potting mix every year if you are using cocopeat. Btw, I've bought my cocopeat on a 50 pesos per kilo on istorya. Daghan nakaayo ang 1 kilo. happy growing.
