What kind of soil is that?

Perlite mix

Like clean peat and perlite? Or fertilizer potting soil and perlite?

Idk I got it from the killer plant company

Are you using distilled water? Always use it for all carnivorous plants. Regular tap water will kill them with chemicals. Also make sure never to use potting mix with fertilizer you want a carnivore mix or make your own.
