My 3 venus flytraps in a bog garden!
Posted: Sun Aug 01, 2021 1:32 am
I currently have 3 varieties of flytraps, the three which seem to be the classic three newbie varieties. Typical, Dente and Red Dragon. This is my first year with them, though the second year of the bog garden they are in, I planted the Sarracenia you see in the background last year.
As you can see here there is plastic netting around the outside. I wish I didn't have to have that there but twice I came out to find torn up traps and the second time it was pretty bad and half of the RedDragon was ripped up. I'm pretty sure it was a squirrel and I later saw a squirrel lurking around it but unable to get in.
Fortunately without the interference of obnoxious rodents they are thriving again. I'm really enjoying these flytraps and they are doing very well since settling in! would like to find a way to repel the squirrels so I don't need netting which is kind of ugly.
