More spring preparation, cleaned up Bog Thing from winter dormancy. I generally try to let it do as it wants with some additions along the way, but trimmed out the dead sundew and pinguicula leaves (leaving the sundew roots) and relocated a venus flytrap seedling (there are a few growing in it). Next year I'll move out the pinguiculas before winter. I only rehydrated it today, not a full flush yet until it resettles.

This is what it looked like last year (no overwintering, this was the first dormancy).
Attached: 3 images @[email protected] this is Bog and for this part of the year and in good weather it's on the balcony during the daytime.
It started out as an experiment in a Tupperware container in 2023. I wanted to see if it would grow in coconut coir. It did for a while but salt leach crept up over time. Most of the substrate was replaced when I moved it to the catering tray and added live Sphagnum moss, which works really well.
Attached: 1 image The other planting I did earlier tonight was really structured, and this time fairly random. This one is Sphagnum moss, two types of Drosera/Sundew seeds (and leftover stalks after shaking them out), and a group of Pinguiculas/Butterworts (and divisions) that has never really done well. Late in the process I saw some white flecks so ended up treating it with organic pesticide and I have no idea how this is going to turn out. #CarnivorousPlants #SavageGarden #florespondence #plants @[email protected]
