RE: My Venus Fly Traps in Full Swing

in #gardening5 years ago

I read your article on how to make the growing mix and found it very helpful. I am a big fan of pumice, as it does not float like perlite tends to do when I add water.

I watched a video saying sundews do better outside in the sun than they so indoors by a window, and it totally flopped. I had I it in a shady nook by a shrub in late Spring, and it looked like the sun steam cooked it one day.

Next time, I might start over and try your grow mix, and use a jar to build a mini terrarium. I seem to get a lot of success rehabilitating plants under cool, bright, humid conditions.

Hi, thank you for your comment. It's nice to see someone here in Steem with the same hobby as mine. And yes, feel free to try my medium mix. While I can't guarantee 100% that it will work for ALL CPs, here's what I planted in that medium so far and they thrive well.

  • Drosera Filiformis
  • Drosera Binata
  • Drosera Binata var Giant
  • Drosera Spatulata
  • VFTs (typical)
  • Sarracenia Alabamensis
  • Nepenthes Ventrata
  • Nepenthes Maxima
