Hi. First post here. Been working on putting this mini bog together in 10a for a weeks now and just got all the plants in there yesterday. The only plants that were acclimated to full sun are the VFTs and the cape sundew (to a lesser degree). Checked it out this morning and all of the pings look pretty bad, while the sundews don't look great. I tried to create a mini bog full of plants that thrive in full sun, but clearly I didn't fully succeed. I've just now read that ping primuliflora doesn't like full sun. Is that accurate? Could explain why my three look cooked... Two of them were thrown in for free, so I'll chalk it up as a $3.50 learning experience if these are toast. No biggie. I also have a ping planifolia, which I've read likes full sun. That one doesn't look as bad as the primuliflora's, but still not looking good. Transplant shock or is it damaged? Now I was confident that my sundews (1x capensis, 2x capillaris giant) would be okay in full sun, but they aren't looking very good either. I know they don't like being transplanted and are particularly likely to go into shock, so I'm hoping that's what it is and that they bounce back. Anyone have thoughts on the sundews?
Thanks for the help!
Edit: Because I know it will be asked - bottom 90% of media is 50% rinsed peat and 50% silica sand. top 10% of media is roughly 35% rinsed peat, 35% soaked LFS, 30% silica sand. All rinsing and soaking was done with rainwater and distilled water. All water in the mini bog is either rainwater or distilled water. Full sun in 10a.
