QuestionDo Sarracenias do well in Pure peat (100% peat)?
AnswerHi David,
They'll grow alright, but you have more problems with rotting due to lack of aeration in the media. The pots also don't drain well with pure peat. I use pure peat in small pots for seedlings, or in cell plug trays, but I always used a mixed media for older plants. Roots need oxygen!
Good Growing!
