Nutricote 360 18-6-8 is one of the fertilizers I trust most, and it is one of the exact products I recommend on the blog.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne 2 ounce cup is enough for 100 to 200 mature carnivorous plants, so a little goes a long way. This is a slow release granular fertilizer, meaning you work a small number of prills into the soil or drop a few into the pitchers of a Nepenthes, Heliamphora or Sarracenia, and it feeds the plant steadily over time instead of all at once. I recommend no more than one prill per pitcher to start.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 1px solid #111111; padding: 20px 24px; margin: 24px 0; background: #ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 1px; font-size: 12px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0 0 12px 0; color: #111111;\"\u003eQuick Guide: Using Nutricote Safely\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 10px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemember:\u003c\/strong\u003e fertilizer is a tool, not a cure.

Sundews respond very well. Nepenthes benefit significantly, especially in controlled setups. Butterworts can handle and benefit from light fertilization too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFertilizing does speed up soil breakdown, so plan to repot a little more often than you would with an unfed plant.
