I am new to bog plants and posted about my newest addition but I'm not sure how to keep it properly, what do you suggest to keep it in the bog environment without having a bog

use one smaller pot planter that has drainage holes for the inner container for the bog plant, use one larger pot planter that have no drainage holes for the outer container for the water reservoir to hold wick mimic some water to make some moisture seep into the inner container’s soils, you should use garden soil or black earth for the bog plant’s growing mediums.
