Bog Dust - Carnivorous Plant Food - 100% Insect Powder
Description
Bog Dust is a 100% pure insect powder designed to feed Sundews, Butterworts, Dewy Pines, Rainbow Plants, Pitcher Plants, and Flytraps. Carnivorous plants require feeding to nourish vigorous growth, healthy leaves, and flowering. If they are not eating enough, they will slow growth and and some can starve to death.
This insect powder is the best food for Sundews (Drosera). I have tried countless feeding methods (previous grinding up fish food pellets, foliar fertilizer, whole insects, etc.) and this powder works the best. It triggers strong reactions by the tentacles and is loaded with the exact form of nutrients that the plants want. The presence of organic nutrients from insects induces the proper digestions and absorption that can be limited with foliar fertilizers. The organic form also avoids leaf burn which can happen from overfeeding with fish food or fertilizer.
It can also be used extremely effectively on Butterworts (Pinguicula) and I have seen massive jumps in growth in response to feeding insect powder as compared to foliar fertilizer like MaxSea. I will also mix it with water into a slurry to feed Flytraps (Dionaea), and this soup can also be used for Dewy Pines (Drosophyllum) and all forms of Pitcher Plants (Nepenthes, Sarracenia, Darlingtonia, Cephalotus, Heliamphora).
A 1 oz jar will feed thousands of Sundews, hundreds of Flytraps, and many Pitcher Plants (depending on size). A 1 oz jar contains around 15g, and the 2oz jar contains around 30g.
NOTE: Contains insects which may cause an allergic reaction in people with shellfish/insect allergies.
Instructions
Sundews (Drosera) and Rainbow Plants (Byblis): Apply the dry powder to dewy tentacles, only feeding as much as will stick. I will moisten a toothpick and dip it into the dry powder so it will stick and then apply to the dewy tentacles.
Butterworts (Pinguicula): Gently sprinkle some powder onto fully developed, sticky leaves. Do not dump powder on the leaves, it should only be a light dusting. I use a toothpick and scoop up some powder and gently tap the toothpick to dust the leaves.
Pitcher Plants (Nepenthes, Cephalotus, Darlingtonia, Sarracenia, Heliamphora): Mix the powder with distilled or reverse osmosis water to make a soupy mixture (it takes a minute to disperse). Use a pipette to squirt the soup into the pitchers (quantity should be relative to the volume of the pitcher). I would aim for 5-10% of the total volume of the pitcher to start.
Flytraps (Dionaea): Mix the powder with distilled or reverse osmosis water to make a thick slurry. Suck up the slurry with a pipette, use the tip of the pipette to trigger the trap (while keeping the tip inside), gently squirt some of the liquid into the closed trap, then remove the pipette so it can fully seal shut.
Dewy Pines (Drosophyllum): Mix the powder with distilled or reverse osmosis water to make a thick slurry. Use a pipette to apply to the underside of the leaves.
