Hello, I would really like to introduce some carnivorous plants :D (eg sarracenia, sundew and pinguicula) to my garden and I have a Belfast sink which is currently unused... Does anyone have any advice? Especially on how to prepare the sink or whether these plants will live happily in the same pot. Thanks, Emily
I grow some carnivourous plants out doors. Not an expert by any means, but when I got too many sarracenias, I just decieded they had to go outside. They survive , but not as well as greenhouse grown plants. As for pinguicula and sundews, I have grown them but not outdoors, although they are hardy, I think they disappear in the winter months. Sphagnum moss peat is what I grow them in, with some lumpy charcoal, and pretty bad drainage, so the hole in the sink will probably need almost covering. Should add that I believe that most sundews are not hardy, only the very small native ones. [ 07. January 2006, 10:04 PM: Message edited by: pete2255 ]
what an amazing pic miraflores- the pink veins in that are amazing, what kind is it? I have lost the sink now - i had to move and had no room for it... but I have bought a cobra lily which is pretty special and a droserra capensis which is nearly dead....
