I'm getting an aquatic bladderwort soon and I need to know how to pot it, most of the details I have found weren't to clear. When they say a cup of peat well mixed into each gallon of water do you want to keep the peat mixed in the water or is it better to let it settle? Also how do you plant it into the peat?

[mitch]

just get a big container and put about 2-3 cm of peat at the bottom and let it settle. then put it in. it does not need to be planted or anything it just needs to float.

And don't change more than 1/3 of the water at one go.

the aquatics are very easy to get going dont need any thing special good clean rain water if no peat dont matter to much they do like the sun though and will flower prolificly if they get a lot of sun,here is some of mine not flowering because it winter now ,it grows so quickly, have mountains of it.where ever I have water in trays soak benches tubs any where I have water around its in there it goes every where
