Hi folks.

I have a bog garden with Venus flytraps and American pitchers. Its soil is all sphagnum peat and I put a one inch layer of long fiber sphagnum on top as a dressing to help insulate the soil underneath. It has worked wonderfully so far.

My question is about a new bog garden I've planted which contains a variety of pygmy sundews. The soil is 2 parts sand 1 part sphagnum peat. I currently have the 1 inch layer of long fiber sphagnum, but I'm wondering if this is going to prohibit the spread of the sundews. Would I be better off removing the long fiber sphagnum for this bog garden?

Thanks!

Brian
