I have just ordered two Sundews, a Nestled Leaf and Birds Nest and was wondering will they do well in the same pot or will they outgrow it quickly and force me to re-pot them separately anyway. I bought them from Carnivorous Plant Nursery and will be shipped Monday or Tuesday so there is time before they get here, shipped bare root they will need to be potted as soon as I get them.

well depends
birds nest is intermedia which can be temperate or tropical
and nestle leaf is nidiformis which is tropical
so it depends if the intermedia is temperate or not, if its not they should do fine in the same pot
but if the intermedia is temperate then it will need dormancy in winter where as the nidifmoris doesn't

How do I determine if it is temperate or tropical? Would the vendor know this.
