Back to the Bog

So I’ve started working on building a bog for carnivorous plants. I’m starting with a Venus flytrap but I’ll be adding sundews soon. Carnivorous plants are sort of like most orchids in that their soil needs to be moister than most plants, so you don’t necessarily need a drainage hole in the container for them.

I’ve tried doing something similar to this last year, but unfortunately it died off because the bog dried out while I was away during the first part of quarantine.

I’ll try to post updates on how it’s going, but until the sundew is here there’s probably not going to be much to say.

Next week I’ll talk about the different types of carnivorous plants and which ones are better for beginners. See you then!
