Hi all!
I just recently got back into keeping CPs. More specifically, CPs native to North Carolina, my state. I have currently, a venus fly trap which has a very curious trap. It appears to be a double trap, or a trap within a trap. Its very intriging to say the least. I also have a purple pitcher plant. I got both from Lowe's as my dad works for the cooperate office and I have a good discount with them. I have yet to take them out of the plastic boxes that they sell them in but plan to do so very soon, so don't fret. I am going to make them a mini bog garden.
I am not only here for tips and suggestions, but am here because I am sort of new at this. My last VFT died because I planted it in some Miracle Grow Peat Moss instead of the recommended Canandian peat moss. I am such a novice at this. I guess you learn from your mistakes, eh?
Most importantly though, I don't really have a clue as to how I should go about making a mini bog garden for my still alive CPs. Do I just grab a container and mix in some peat moss, a little bit of sand and douse the whole thing with water when done? Do I need some sort of circulation for the water? Does it need to be fancy?
