About ThriveThe wait is over. No longer do growers of carnivorous plants have to rely upon destruction of the plants' natural habitat to supply materials in which to grow them. Thanks to Floralive, growers now have a choice.THRIVE is the first peat-free growing media commercially available in the U.K. specifically developed for carnivorous plants. The result of several years of research, development and commercial trialling, we now have what we consider to be a superior alternative to traditional moss-peat based mixes. Independent trials using laboratory-fresh micropropagated Venus flytraps showed conclusive evidence that those grown in THRIVE gave noticeably better results than others grown side-by-side in a regular peat/sand mix. Originally first sold commercially in 1998, we have supplied THRIVE through selected garden-centres to many people, and have several testimonials bestowing the excellent results it has allowed. Further extensive field trials using revised formulas were concluded in 2003 allowing us to now offer a single mix for most genera of carnivorous plants, complimented by two bespoke products for Monkey Cups and Butterworts. It works. We use it ourself. For everything we grow. Try it with complete confidence; we grow thousands of plants in it every year! Below is an image of a Cephalotus follicularis 'THRIVE-ing'!
