Bog update! The flytrap “died” and I removed it before I realized my error 🙄. The bog really breeds those fungus gnats, so I added a bug catcher for any they can’t snag. Just added some Pinguicula for the first time. I placed them on top of the sphagnum. Hoping they take off with the rest of the swamp.

Oh my god please get the pitcher plants out of there. The nepenthes. They aren’t meant to sit in water like droseras or butterworts or bladderwort’s or sarracenias. They are like orchids, they don’t sit in soil. They want to be moist but not kept soaked or in soil like that. Repot into 1/2 spagnum 1/2 pearlier keep moist, or they will surely rot. Beautiful drosera however!
