       Whew! I knew this was going to be a tricky replanting and it was but went more smoothly than I'd expected. This mini bog started out in 2023 as a random throwing things together with different Sundew seed stalks, moss and some Butterworts in a Tupperware-type container using coconut coir as the growing medium and I actually didn't expect it to survive. It seemed to (mostly) do okay and it was time to move it to a larger container.  #CarnivorousPlants #Mosstodon #gardening #Plants @plants

       @plants using coconut coir was interesting and doable, but you really have to keep on top of flushing the whole thing out with pure (0 total dissolved solids) water a lot more often than with peat-based mediums. Minerals continued to leach out (even when pre-soaked and rinsed) for several months until it stabilized. I still kept some and transferred a bit over with the plants and moss, especially any clinging to roots. Here is how it started: https://layer8.space/@chillicampari/110890213825367034

       @plants I also tossed in some Venus Flytrap seeds that I have been storing in the refrigerator since 2023. I just put them on top and tapped them in a bit.Edit to add- I also dropped in a couple of larger Butterworts.

       @chillicampari @plants I’ve been doing some paring down because I ended up with some tiny annoying bugs on the sarracenia. It might be two kinds actually. Do you remember what kind of pesticide you used on your white dots?#CarnivorousPlants #Insects #Insekten

       @sollat @chillicampari @plants Tape can be a good way to remove them. Though try it in a small location since this plant looks like it has little hairs on the leaf surface and tape might damage the leaf. But you don't have a whole field, just the one plant. Try some masking tape.

       @futurebird @chillicampari @plants Thanks for the suggestion. The functional hairs are mostly on the inside. I moved the worst ones outside, but I’ll keep an eye on the indoor ones with the tape handy.
