Can you use cactus soil with carnivorous plants?

I need to repot some Venus Flytraps, pitcher plants, sundews, etc. Can I use regular cactus soil or do I have to order the stuff sold specifically for carn. plants?

No, just use half peat moss and half perlite.


Nothing with nutrients.

Reply:It has to be an acidic medium if you want them to survive for a good long while. I think most people use vermiculite or perlite with peat. Cactus soil probably won't hold enough water.
