❓❗ When is the best time to repot my carnivorous plants?

When to repot carnivorous plants – Cultivo Carnivores expert care guide South Africa – buy soil and plant care services online

💬 We recommend repotting once a year, ideally in late winter (around August)—while it’s still cool and just before your plants wake up for spring.

🌱 All our potted plants come in fresh, species-specific carnivorous plant soil, so they’re good to go for the next growing season and won’t need repotting until next winter

Use plastic or glazed ceramic pots with drainage holes. Avoid terracotta—it’s porous and causes mineral build-up, which carnivorous plants don’t like

Always use mineral-free water (like rain or RO). Long-term use of tap water leads to salt & mineral build-up and may mean more frequent repotting

We use species-specific soil blends tailored to each plant’s natural habitat, with the right balance of drainage and water retention for healthy growth in South African conditions. These are exactly what we use for our own prized collection
