It's getting close to rescape time! I'm compiling a list of plants to use and would like some feedback.
Here's how I'm planning to set it up; It's going to be a sloped substrate, being higher on the right and lower on the left, ending in a shallow water feature (possibly a small filter to keep the water moving and free of debris). I'll place egg crate on the right side, stacking it to 2-3 layers on the far right. The substrate will be divided according to soil requirements; peat and sand at the lowest point for the Drosera and Utricularia, peat and sand and bark in the middle, and bark, perlite, charcoal, and LFS on the right. The Neps will be in pots with medium piled around them. My main question with this setup is how will I get enough light to grow Drosera burmannii in the lowest part?
Here's the list of plants that I have written up;
CPs
-Nepenthes bellii
-Nepenthes gracilis
-Drosera burmannii
-Utricularia graminifolia
Orchids
-Cattleya hybrid
-Tolumnia hybrid
-Paphiopedilum "Napa Valley"?
-Paphiopedilum "Raisin Pie"?
-Grosourdya appendiculata
-Bulbophyllum putidum
Filler Plants
-Maranta sp.
-Fittonia verschaffeltii
-Gynura aurantiaca
-Polypodium aureum
-Philodendron "Lemon Lime"
-Pellaea (lemon button fern)
-Davallia trichomanoides (rabbit's foot fern)
-Ficus repens
-Tillandsia bulbuosa "Guatemala"
I'm not going to use all of these plants, that would be too much. There will be driftwood and cut bamboo stakes to add texture and give the Nepenthes something to grab onto once the start vining. The plants that can be grown epiphytically will be, freeing up some ground space.
So, any suggestions?
