I am laying lost insulation (made from recycled bottles) in our loft. There is already vermiculite laid down which i don't want to remove. Is it ok to lay it over the top of the vermiculite?
The soil that the venus fly trap is a very nutrient poor soil. Not likely the vermiculite. Temperature is most helpful, range in the 80`sF. Don`t over water the plant. You might want to put a little clean dirt in also. The fly Trap does does hot need any fertilizer, it gets it`s nutrients from the insects it traps.
Peat moss tends to turn out to be a little water-resistant after it gets entirely dry, very similar to a dried out sponge. To re-moist it, you must situation the pot in several inches of heat water and let the water wick up from the backside through the drain holes. Once it has been re-wetted, hinder letting it ever get that dry again and then you will now not have a situation high watering generally. In my experience, sphagnum moss that has not decomposed into sphagnum peat moss is a better growing medium for Venus Flytraps. It is spongier and presents extra air pockets than the finer peat moss. Additionally it is less difficult to work with.
