The guy who runs the greenhouse by me says he fertilizes his, sundews and flytraps along with the rest. Foliar like you're doing not soil, but some probably gets on the soil. He told me the reading level of the fertilizer but I can't remember because he was using EC not TDS. It was low, I think I remember trying to convert it and it was something like 140 TDS which is probably about 1/4 tsp per gallon maxsea.

If you have a TDS meter, I'd be interested to know what the TDS on your fertilizer solution is.
