OK, so maybe it was a mistake, but I'm going to give it a shot. I'm going to do a lot of reading to try to make sure all the conditions are met, from what I've read so far I think I can cover everything. I bought a "starter kit"--here's the description from the Meadowview biological research station where I bought it:
Beginners Aldrovanda package - includes Meadowview pond sediment, associate plants, and bag of Aldrovanda plants (a minimum of 3 plants included in beginners pack) $25.00
The pond sediment is meant to carry an ecosystem I think, including microfauna prey, although me living basically on a swamp I'm sure these guys will be feasting on mosquito larvae either way. I asked, the associated plants "include burr reed (Sparganium), rush (Juncus), arrow arum (Peltandra virginica), and/or some tag along bladderworts like U. inflata or U. purpurea."
I won't list all the other little details about cultivation I've been reading up on in this post.
So does anybody else grow these guys? any tips? secret recipes?
