Hey terraforum members,
Yesterday I bought a new bag of peat moss and perlite from home depot, in order to re-pot my venus flytrap, and my three saracenia species. After mixing up the recipes per The Savage Garden, I realized that both bags of media were made by Miracle Gro. So, it looks like both bags contain fertilizer.
Here are the content labels:
1. Miracle Gro Perlite:
Total nitrogen (N)..........................0.04%
0.016 Ammoniacal Nitrogen
0.024% Nitrate Nitrogen
Available phosphate (P2O5).............0.01%
Soluble potash (K2O)......................0.06%
Derived from ammonium nitrate, ammonium phosphate, calcium phosphate, and potassium sulfate.
2. Miracle Gro Sphagnum Peat Moss:
Total nitrogen (N) ..............................0.05%
0.005% ammoniacal nitrogen
0.035% nitrate nitrogen
0.010% urea nitrogen
Available phosphate (P2O5)..................0.02%
Soluble Potash (K2O) ..........................0.04%
Derived from: urea, monoammonium phosphate, and potassium nitrate.
Here are the links to the label information:

In my not-very-experienced opinion, I don't think I should repot my sarracenia and dionea in this mix, because they probably will not like the miracle gro ingredients. Am I correct in thinking that these mixes may kill my plants?
The species to be potted are S. flava, S. purp, S. minor, and death box dionea (from home depot).
Thanks for any help!
