PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE
Carnivorous Plant Fertiliser
Overview
Care for carnivorous plants by species
Traps and growing requirements vary widely. Match light, lime-free water and the root environment to the species first.
Details & background
For targeted care of carnivorous and epiphytic plants: dilute this liquid concentrate according to the application method. For watering, use 5 ml per 5 litres; for spraying, 5 ml per 2.5 litres of lime-free water, every 2–4 weeks according to growth.
Application
Choose the method first
For watering, 5 ml per 5 litres; for spraying, 5 ml per 2.5 litres of lime-free water. Measure carefully and mix evenly.
The two dilutions are alternatives for the selected method. Match the watering volume to the plant and container.
- 1 l water
- 1 ml for watering · 2 ml for spraying
- 2.5 l water
- 2.5 ml for watering · 5 ml for spraying
- 5 l water
- 5 ml for watering · 10 ml for spraying
- 10 l water
- 10 ml for watering · 20 ml for spraying
-
Choose the method
Select foliar or root feeding first; their dilutions differ.
-
Prepare water
Use lime-free water or rainwater at 15–25°C.
-
Shake
Shake the concentrate well before use.
-
Measure accurately
Measure 5 ml per 2.5 litres for foliar feeding, or 5 ml per 5 litres for root feeding.
-
Dilute and apply
Mix thoroughly with water and follow the chosen method. Avoid open traps and flowers.
-
Complete foliar aftercare
After foliar feeding, spray thoroughly with pure lime-free water 6–24 hours later. Repeat only during active growth and according to growth.
Nutrition & properties
The product’s own declaration
Major and trace nutrients, net mass and application belong to the identified formulation. The original label accompanies the product information.
Details & background
The full composition is listed once in the product information. Both packs contain the same formulation.
Plant care
Dionaea, Drosera, Nepenthes and Sarracenia differ in light, temperature, moisture and dormancy requirements. Identify the species and its growing conditions before planning nutrition.
Suitable low-nutrient compost and lime-free water provide the foundation. Epiphytes and bog-growing carnivorous plants do not automatically need the same medium or watering regime.
Match application to actual growth and pause during the species’ dormancy. Missing traps or discoloured leaves do not by themselves prove a nutrient deficiency.

Frequently asked questions
Which dilution should I use?
For watering,5 ml per 5 litres; for spraying,5 ml per 2.5 litres of lime-free water. Choose the appropriate method before measuring.
What follows foliar feeding?
Mist foliage finely, avoid open traps and flowers, and spray thoroughly with pure lime-free water 6–24 hours later.
How often is it applied?
Every 2–4 weeks during active growth, depending on growth and need. Do not add fertiliser simply by the calendar to dormant plants.
Does every carnivorous plant need fertiliser?
No. Species and growing conditions differ. This is a targeted cultivation measure when appropriate, not a universal requirement for every carnivorous plant.
How much does one bottle make?
250 ml makes 250 litres of watering solution or 125 litres of spraying solution. A twin pack doubles those quantities.
Must I feed both leaves and roots?
No. These are separate application methods. Account for previous feeding and the sensitivity of the species.
