Can Sarracenia and Dionaea co-exist...

9 years ago

...in the same pot? While I have had great success with Neps (all are
blooming and growing like proverbial weeds...) it's been well over a
half-century since I've tried to grow pitchers and VFTs in the same pot.
Along about 1960 when I 'discovered' CPs as a kid, I created a
terrarium with sloping ground to accommodate the moisture requirements
of the various species. In retrospect, it probably never got enough sun
in my room....

I was given a VFT and pitcher, both now planted in a large-ish, deep
ceramic dish (with drainage). Soil was a mix of equal parts peat and
sand with just a bit of long-fiber sphagnum and vermiculite mixed in to
simulate a proper bog, while the surface got 'paved' with moss. It will
get plenty of sun on the patio adjacent to the greenhouse.

Any other tips for getting the plants to "get along"?

Cheers
