FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Well I got my waterwheel plant today, I would post pictures but it's like really tiny. Anyways, how do I set up it's water aquarium? I bought this big large plastic bin, and put some peat-moss at the bottom of it, then I poured a gallon of Distilled water inside(I will pour more once I get this problem fixed), and the peat-moss will not flow to the bottom, it's like it is repelling water.. Do I wait for a little while more? Will the peat-moss sink later?
Thanks

Yes the peat moss can sink, you generally need to wait a week before you put the plants in, but

Read up on California Carnivores about making the aquarium for them. It had very detailed info if I do recall correctly.

Yeah I remember hearing that.

I already made a aquarium for them, put some gravel and a bit of peat moss in there, and a machine to keep water-movement. But they sink to the bottom, I think they have developed the buds that make them sink when it is winter, but I have a light that is shining on them as-well, it should get warm in there soon, as I have a heater warming the room at the moment.
