peat moss / perlite for venus fly trap
Hi all
hoping someone here is able to point me in the right direction, coz ive had a nightmare trying to find this stuff. i need a 50/50 mix of perlite and peat moss to repot my trap, i managed to find perlite for £5 in B&Q, but i've had no luck on the peat. Does anyone know anywhere i can buy this online fairly cheap for uk? i've only got the one plant so don't really want excess kg's of the stuff! a premixed soil would be quite handy too anywayz, any pointers would be great thanks wayne |

They do ready mixed compost for different types of carnivorous plants. Check the compost link on the site. Their Supershag moss is on offer. They will send 100 gms for £3.75 free postage. |

Well its not as bad in midlands as its in north, but night time temperatures may touch 0 degrees according to the forecast, should I get my newly planted (2 weeks ago) straberries in hanging baskets, sweet peas and broad beans in pots indoors/ cover them with plant fleece or will they be alright left outside? " Oswestry, N Shropshire" the lowest external air temperature I recorded during last night was 1.4 degC at 07.30 this morning. Sorry can't advise on plants, but if they are precious, play safe by bringing them in to a cool room overnight, put them out again when temp rises and wind reduces. Don |
