the title should say it all- we got one at a plant sale yesterday and I was intrigued by the notion that such a funky-looking plant MAY live in my bog garden (the cranberries bor the heck outta me and the occasional crabgrass isn't much for "flora" either)
Anyways, after checking out the 'net, I find that the thing can be a nigtmare if not kept in check...
SO... would it grow in similar conditions to Sarrs and Drosera??
And if it does, could it just be cleaned off of the dirt and plunked in the bog, or would it grow too well and kill my whole set-up??
Could I put it in its own little bog-pot so it only looks like it's living in there?? Or should I just do as a lot of folks elsewhere suggest, keep in in pretty much "regular dirt" in a pot with a saucer so it can't get CRAZY?? I would hope that our cold Canadian winters would kill it off, but I don't know, so I posted this in hopes of avoiding a horrible mistake (I'm LEAST worried about the plant dying, MUCH more concerned about my CPs than any "normal" plant)
It is a neat looking thing and if it would grow in with my Sarrs I would be happy to do what it takes to at least have a small pot of it...
Thanks for reading this far and thanks in advance for any suggestions/commands/horrorstories you may have to share!!
