I made another Carnivorous plant bog garden, this time with a drainage hole and cork stopper so I can drain excess rain. ๐ŸŒง๏ธ
I drilled a hole in this plastic candy dish, added LECA and a tad bit of sphagnum moss on the bottom. A layer of sand, then carnivorous plant soil. I planted a spoon-leaved sundew and a Venus fly trap and added some live Sphagnum moss around the plants for added moisture retention & aesthetic purposes. I looove how this turned out and I am hoping these two plants I put in here will do well. They are both already acclimated to my back porch so we will see!
I added some crystals & a tiny ceramic duck because I shouldn't have to dump this over to drain it.

Super cute!
@UltraKoreanfir thank you!!! ๐Ÿ˜Š I love the green of the live sphagnum moss.
Ah that's a Collins sundew! They're super cute they kinda look like if a spoon and a cape had a lil bby. They also do not require a dormancy so they shouldn't remain long term friends with the VFT!
@PleaseLeaf ah thank you, Bri! I should pay more attention to my labels, hah. I may switch one out for a more suitable buddy. โœŒ๏ธ
This is so cool. I would like to try something similar but maybe with non carnivorous plants?
@JesssJungle on the plus side the temperate sundews have more wacky and wild looking ones!
@nellz4estfairyz you could totally do that!!!
So cute!! You are so smart! But maybe switch the sundew? A cape would look nice cause the sundew requires different care than the flytrap by not needing dormancy.
Wow that looks great!
@Fireplace
Yeah, I wasn't thinking when I planted this sundew, I knew it wasn't a cape, but ๐Ÿคท. I probably will switch it out with a Venus fly trap or my thread Leaf Sundew which does require a dormancy. Of course I pick the one sundew that doesn't need to go dormant that I have in my collection! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Š
@PoisedAlbo @PricklyThumb
Thank you!! ๐Ÿคž That they will stay healthy.
It looks great! Looking forward to seeing it grow
This looks great Jess! I love that you used a candy bowlโ€”how fun!!! ๐Ÿคฉ
