Feeding Guide for Carnivorous Plants
 
🌿 Overview
⚠️ We do NOT normally recommend fertilising carnivorous plants.
They naturally grow in nutrient-poor environments and usually perform best without any fertiliser.
✅ However, if you really want to fertilise, this is the product to use — provided it is applied very dilute and correctly.
💧 Always remember to top-water occasionally with pure water and test runoff PPM to ensure there is no nutrient buildup in the soil. Salt accumulation can damage plants without obvious early warning signs.
 
🪴 Recommended Dilutions & Application:
 
🪶 Sarracenia (Pitcher Plants)
Mix: 2.5 ml per 1 litre water
Method: Root feeding only
Apply lightly to the soil directly around the roots not over the whole surface 
❌ Do NOT pour fertiliser into pitchers
Frequency: Every 3–4 weeks during active growth
 
🪰 Venus Flytrap
Mix: 1 ml per 1 litre water
Method: Leaf feeding (fine mist)
Spray traps/leaves lightly
Avoid soaking the soil
Best applied morning or late afternoon
Frequency: Every 4–6 weeks in active growth
 
🌞 Drosera (Sundews)
Mix: 1 ml per 1 litre water
Method: Light foliar mist
Spray gently over leaves

Option 2 — Pitcher feeding (optional)
Add a small amount to ONE pitcher only
Preferably use an older pitcher, not a new one
Do NOT overfill
Ensure the pitcher does not bend or lose liquid afterwards, BUT Do NOT prop or support — the pitcher must hang naturally
Frequency: Every 3–4 weeks in active growth
 
⚠️ Important Safety Rules
Never exceed recommended dilution
Do not fertilise stressed or newly repotted plants
Stop feeding during dormancy (temperate species winter rest)
Always mix using rainwater, RO, or distilled water
When unsure, test on one plant first
Flush soil occasionally with pure water
 
💡 Quick Tips
Carnivorous plants need far less fertiliser than normal plants
Correct light and watering matter far more than feeding
Weak feeding may help growth slightly
Overfeeding can damage roots very quickly
Many growers successfully grow these plants without fertiliser at all
