My 'minibog'
 
2 Attachment(s)
Here's my 'mini-bog'. Its actually just a long pot with lots of plants. What is in the pot are:
  1. S. x chelsonii
  2. A heavily infected S. x stevensii that has just been treated.
  3. D. burmanii
  4. D. intermedia 'Great Swamp'
  5. N. x ventrata
  6. P. primuliflora
  7. D. muscipula 'Green'
  8. D. adelae
  9. Life Sphagnum Moss
I know some plants are tropical. I did in on purpose to see what will be the results.

Not, bad.......like your setup. Why would you wanna grow neps with other CPs? It is kinda weird, seeing them together, plus, each CPs have different soil requirements.

Cheers

But I grow all my CPs in sphagnum. Only the ceph use perlite. I added purpurea to the minibog.(I accidentally break of a part of my purpurea. It has one long strand of root.)

Well, nepenthes needs a different watering technic compared to the other CPs that you grow. Does your minibog have drainage holes?

Cheers

It has a plug in the bottom. the pot I bought was designed for 2 uses. If I remove the plug then I can grow like normal plants. If I insert the plug I can grow them hydroponically. Right now I insert the plug. Down there theres a layer of shallow water. I planted the nep higher than the other plants so it won't keep on touching the water. I can remove the plug too. Some of my sarra and VFT I don't use water tray.

Neps need well drained soil to keep the roots from rotting. Growing neps there for a short while is ok but in long term the neps roots will grow and hit the bottom.

Cheers

Never mind one-lah. Still unrooted cutting. I'll remove the plug later. I've got a habit of top watering my plants, even sundews.
