    Default Grif can you help?

    I remember seeing you keep carnivores plants I just purchased a pitcher plant and it already needs to be moved into a bigger pot, what type of soil is safe? I know to only use distilled water and they need high light but I don't know what soil is safe. I have a extra bag of Eco earth is that's useable

    Use a mixture of sphagnum moss, peat moss, and sand. Place the spagnum in the bottom of the pot over top some gravel for drainage. Then do a 50/ 50 mix of Peat moss and sand.

    You could also use Vermiculite if you like.

    What kind of Pitcher Plant is it?

    Oh come on!! I'm only going for natural enviroment. Lol!! Sphagnum will work just fine. The mixture I gave was for good root adaption when introduced into a new pot. You sometimes want to match whatever soil mixture the plant has already been planted in so it doesn't go into shock.
