Hi all,
Heres the deal, i live in Hong Kong and trying to work out what soil is most appropriate for my VFT's is proving a little tricky, as a lot of the shops don't really know what i'm talking about since i don't know the proper names of certain materials like sphagnum moss in Chinese...
Anyway, i've heard from SOME people that "科學泥" or science/scientific soil will work for carnivorous plants as its porous and (supposedly) contains no minerals or nutrients? is this true?
Also, i'm planning on MAYBE putting these plants into my paludarium i'm building atm, what would be the best way i could mix my VFT's etc with normal plants...
Would i be able to do so if i get a acrylic box made with holes ONLY on the bottom to let excess water run out? while the rest of the soil around the box is nutrient rich soil or would this still effect my plants in a bad way?
Sorry for all the questions, but just don't want to kill my plants off from silly mistakes... thanks...
