While I usually keep all my plants well separated and labeled, I'm contemplating dropping a few Drosera in my Heli terras. I'm thinking of dropping some in the pots of my Heliamphora..unless you guys think I should drop some sphag in the terra itself and drop them in that, or just in entirely separate pots with saucers.
I'd need something that can survive 45F-85F, being potted in lfs: perlite, receive lots of bright light, and the humidity I don't think should be a problem but it is relatively high being at the low end of what Heliamphora can tolerate (haven't measured for sure though, because it does fluctuate a lot too being outside). Here's a pic of my Heliamphora setups, and I'd love advice seeing as how I know pretty much nothing about Drosera. The white grating comes to the same level as the wood, so there's usually about a cm or two of water above it that slowly drains to just below the grating, then I refill.
Also, do sundews melt if you pour 1/4 strength orchid fert through them? It's what I feed my Helis and Cephs with occasionally... otherwise the only other inhabitant of those terras is some green stuff in the water (algae?) and Trichoderma.
Oh and I do have a minibog with some Drosera in there in with the vft's and cobra, some pygmy communal pots and some D. capensis so I do know a little bit about Drosera, but not much.
