So I got a sarracenia godzuki x red ruffles. Its got a bunch of baby sundews (awwww) but some of them are mushy and close to my sarr. Will they be okay in this pot? Or am I going to have to remove them? Thanks.

They'll be fine, but you could repot them if you want them to again their full size.

Sorry, *Attain. It might be good though to let them recover a bit from shipping first.

You have some Utricularia in that pot too

Do their roots grow straight down as well?

..is that those stalks? Is that what's in this pot too? How do they even get in there? Will they hurt my plants?

Those are probably Drosera capensis so I would not recommend growing them in the same container as a sarracenia. They are a weedy species so if grown in a greenhouse some seeds got in there and sprouted, but under long term conditions that sarracenia should experience (strong full sun and colder weather) the capensis is likely to eventually die (or at best not really do too well and die back to the roots each winter). If you want to keep the sundews I would separate them and grow the indoors year round like a tropical plant.

Those little stalks might be fire moss. But those little green leaf like things on the ground are typically Utricularia.

What does the sarracenia look like now?

This pic is about 2 or 3 weeks old, but something like this. I'll take a better one tomorrow.

keep us updated on that S. hydra, that's it in the top right? i think i see some color. I like to keep sundews in my sarra pots, not sure why but i like the way it looks.

Is that anglica or nidiformis? I think I misspelled the last name!

not 100% was a stowaway but i think its just d. intermedia, i get bored cut leaves off slide them under living moss and make more alot.

I’m doing something similar to my small ping gigantea. It’s working!

pings are what i want to get into next testing nepenthes now. ventricosa is growing fast like a weed, the sanguinea is growing but nowhere near as fast as the ventricosa. hoping this would be a good spot for pings.
