Nope!! The medium is a mix of peat moss, long fiber sphagnum moss, and a little bit of sand, so the PH is super low all the time. What I do need to do though is water only with distilled or RO water, anything else builds up minerals and burns the roots on the carnivores. Honestly all things considered if you set up a bog pot right and blast it with a metric ton of light itll be the easiest collection of houseplants ever. Plus you get to feed the bog instead of using fertilizer.
