How do you prevent soil from splashing onto the plants? Whenever I leave my plants outside, the rain hits them and splashes soil all over the plants, making them look very dirty. Yours look so clean. What's the secret?
What about APS? I've only recently started using it in my mixes - but it's looking good so far (& when purchased as Infield Conditioner from a distributor - it's only ~$10/50lbs).Hint: Try pumice instead of perlite. Pumice is less prone to float. However, pumice can be slightly alkaline. In a panel of growers at a BACPS meeting last year it was noted that perlite breaks down after a while. This will make the pH slightly less acidic. Dionaea appear to like more acidic conditions than many other species so quartz sand is a better choice as a peat moss additive.
