Well I constructed a highland Nep "bog" outside today. I used a clear sterlite "under-bed" container. So it's 6 inches or so tall, 4 feet long and 2 feet wide. I put all my highlanders in there. The Nep potitng mix I am using is half long fibered sphagnum half 1 part sand to 1 part sphagnum peat moss. I will let you know how this works out. Oh I will only have it outside for summer. It gets approximatly the same amount fo sun per day but west instead of east. I grew these Neps on the poarch but got tired of watering and feeding so hence this experiment. I have:
N. lowii
N. ventracosa 'red'
N. ventracosa
N. alata 'striped'
N. alata 'pink'
N. 'miranda'
N. coccienica 'degroot clone' (sp?)
N. fusca
N. vieillardi 'yellow pitcher' (in debate)
as well as about 4 more.
I think it will help cut down on the bug population.
