im wondering what can be used to fertilize plants in a vivarium.i have some plants that im sure are going to need to be fertilized at some point,but i also have quite a bit of live moss(3 species)and a venus flytrap,and im told that you should not use fertilizer on moss and carnivorus plants.im told that products like miracle grow boost the soil ph through the roof and moss and flytraps cant handle high ph.maybe there is a very mild, fertilizer i can add to my water mistings that wouldnt hurt,or something totally organic? now keep in mind i have almost my entire floor covered in moss,even moss goes around the base of my other plants.i cant add anything directly to the soil without disrupting and destroying much of my setup.thats why id like something that can be added to water.

a second question is in regards to venus flytaps and such.has anyone here kept them,i just added one and im curious if it will survive.if it does id like to add a pitcher plant as well.i dont keep frogs so i dont have to worry about a froglet getting eaten lol.im curious about my flytrap because its weird looking.typical flytraps are red inside the mouth but mine are all green,even the heads and where the teeth usually point in,on these the teeth point out.im thinking maybe the heads are still immature and will turn red as the get older and then the teeth will point in when they are able to eat.just wondering if anyone knows what im talking about with these.thanks.
