Sorry, I meant to say that I read that the rhizomes of Dionaea are more susceptible to rot in LFS because of the increased water content in LFS. I have also read that rhizome rot can be avoided if LFS is used in a mesh basket.
I dont believe any of that..
not sure where you read that, but as I said, there is a lot of misinformation, and myth, and superstition on the internet when it comes to growing CPs!
I still dont understand how LFS can be "wetter" than pure peat, when using the same watering method..doesn't make any sense...and it probably doesn't make sense, because it simply isnt true! myth/legend/something..who knows how these things get started..
and since when is wet media a concern in the first place?
we are talking about VFTs..bog plants..they LIKE it wet!
"too wet" is really difficult to achieve..maybe if you kept a really high water table for VFT's you could get "too wet"..but for LFS in a 7" tall pot sitting in a tray with 1 inch of water, it will never be too wet..it simply cant happen with that scenario..
Wherever you read that, I wouldn't go there for ideas anymore..
For what you are suggesting, small plastic pots, LFS is great..no problems..tried and true.
People make things much more complicated than they need to be!
(not referring to you personally Fed, im just talking about the wealth of needlessly complicated ideas out there)
