| Venus flytraps grow in NUTRIENT POOR soil - so no, it would not be normal for those. Potting soil will burn out the roots, and adding more stuff to potting soil would be sure to speed up death. Think I read somewhere where the best growing medium for VFs is a 1:1 mix of pure peat moss and perlite. No tap water either - distilled water instead. Morning glory also does well in poorer soils - too much nutrition and you'll get leaves, but no flowers. Make a compost pile with your leaves, pecan shells, egg shells and whatever other greens and browns you've got and use it on your vegetable garden. |
