Why a special soil for carnivorous plants?

Unlike traditional plants, carnivorous plants are adapted to nutrient-poor environments, such as peat bogs. A soil that is too rich in nutrients can burn their delicate roots and cause them to die. The ideal soil for carnivorous plants should therefore be:

Low in nutrients: Carnivorous plants get their nutrients from their prey, not from the soil.

Acidic: Most carnivorous plants like an acidic pH, similar to that of their natural environment.

Light and airy: The substrate must allow good air circulation around the roots.

Draining: Excess water can cause root rot.
