Well seeing how others are naming their plants I decided to name this one Scarlet. Scarlet is special, I've decided to have my go at hydroponic carnivores. I have always been interested in hydroponic gardening and since I read that Sarracenia like wet feet I figured I'd have a go at it.
Here's day 1.
I used WASHED**** (until i got to 20ppm) clay pebbles and I carefully wrapped wet sphagnum around the rhizome and the top part of the root system
I then put a thing layer of the pebbles at the bottom of the pot (3 in. hydroponic net pot) and filled in around the plant

Placed Scarlet in my bog and there you have it, we'll see how this experiment goes!
