Re: Sarracenia bog!!!
 

There is a post in forum regarding how to pollinte sarracenia... Check it out!!!

Re: Sarracenia bog!!!
 

If you can't see any other sarracenia in your collection that is flowering at the same time, then please try to do manual pollenation with the same flower. Please search for the topic in the forum, sorry no time to do it for you, but I posted a few times in there as I tried it myself, I got some seeds from the effort after 4 months or so, you just have to wait. However I have not had any germination yet from those seeds though, so not sure really if it worked, still I got seeds. I heard that Sarras are CPs that do not really get bothered by flowering, unlike other CPs. So go for it.

have fun!

Hi Marvin, why not try a Drosera to fill in the gaps. As for pollination it is quite easy to do but you get teh best result if you can get pollen from another plant. It is possible with just the one flower but the seedlings tend to be a little weaker and the germination rate is lower. Cheers.

Re: Sarracenia bog!!!
 

Drosera and vft grow well together wil sarra.BTW,congrates for your new addition.:1thumbup:

Re: Sarracenia bog!!!
 

Saw it already,thanks!
Which sp?What about pings?Which sp live in the same habitat as sarras?
Thanks!I'll try to get more!

Re: Sarracenia bog!!!
 

Any VFT. All temperate Drosera and Ping should go OK. I think you will find plants such as D. rotundifolia, intermedia and filiformis growing with Sarra's. As for Ping's primuliflora and any other temperate species.

Re: Sarracenia bog!!!
 

Okay.Thanks!

Do you guys think the intermedia'cuba' can be planted in the bog?Because when I water it becomes water logged.

Re: Sarracenia bog!!!
 

Hi marvin,

Nice plants you have there. D.intermedia should do well between the gaps and it can handle wet media. Hope you are giving the plants enough sun light.

Re: Sarracenia bog!!!
 

They have a 100W light bulb about 20 inches above them.

Re: Sarracenia bog!!!
 

Got a D.filiformis'red' from KC and planted it in the bog:
