pitcher plant soil question


Question
i bought miracle gro sphagnum moss and i have a pitcher plant that has to many pitcher and it needs space can i put that miracle gro sphagnum moss to pitcher plant also it says enriched with miracle gro plant food is that still ok?

Answer
Hi John,

Glad you wrote in before using that.  The answer is no, no, no!  The fertilizer in that mix will be toxic to your plant and will eventually kill it.  When purchasing peat moss you need to buy a small bale of it.  I know it's a big quantity, but it's a much better deal, and it will never have fertilizer in it.

Good Growing!
