FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hi everybody, just a little introduction, I guess! My name is Clayton and I live in the Orlando, FL area. I am kinda new to CPs, I got my first couple in August of last year and planted the little bog shown below, along with a bog button. Unfortunately the sundew died right away but the others are all going strong I think? Shown below are also new CPs I got a few days ago at a local nursery, I built another bigger bog to plant these in but I read that I should let it sit for about a week to let the ph balance before planting them in it, hopefully thats right! I love to learn and am quickly becoming a little obsessed with them. Any help or advice would be great!

I knew I would mess up the image attachments... sorry!

Wow, that's lookin' great! Make sure to check out the seed bank

Welcome from Inglis, FL

Looks great! Its a learning curve but once you have it locked in, its really easy. Welcome!

That's SO COOL! Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum. Nice bog! As far as letting the ph stabilize, I've never heard that. I always have planted by plants immediately after mixing up my growing mix.

Welcome!

I mix my bog medias in a separate pot, usually 5 gallon just so I can flush it really good before it's dumped into the bog. I also set my bogs up so they are over a foot deep and hold about 5 inches of water in the bottom before the water hits the overflow.

I've personally never heard of leaving your media sit before planting and I've been at this for a minute. I've never had a problem with mine.
