Thank you very much for uploading these. I'm going back home after living overseas for 2 years and I can't wait to get back to my carnivores.

I used an old bathtub three years ago. I also used your pvc pipe at the bottom to make a resivor. Doing phenomenal. Thanks from VA in the Appalachian mountains.

Judith Hindle has become one of my favorites. I have it in a bathtub and also in a floating container on my pond.

I was very glad to see this video. I have one question, which isn't about the bathtub itself, but more about how to water it. I totally understand how the 'elevated' drain hole allows a shallow water area. But how do you know when that water has finally been 'used up'/evaporated, and you need to water it again? I'm assuming that when you do water again, you water it until it runs out the hole again? I just can't figure out how to know when to add water.

Thanks for watching! The soil for Sarracenia should always be damp. It should never dry out. If it does, you risk losing your plants. So water when the top of the soil begins to feel dry. In summer, you will need to water more often.

I have a tub ready, I just need varieties that will thrive in zone 6

@SarraceniaNorthwest 11 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! Almost all of the North American plants will grow fine in zone 6 with the proper winter care and set up. But depending on your specific microclimate, an in-ground bog garden might be a safer solution.

That pea gravel has definite advantages, but it will have only a small effect on soil erosion in this case. The soil has nowhere to be eroded to. It will very much slow down evaporation from the surface, and will deter or prevent the growth of weeds and mosses on the surface. I mean, it will prevent splashing out of the soil. and may prevent finer particles washing down into deeper layers. But I can't see how it would do more than that 🤷‍♂

Thanks for watching the video! With heavy rain and top watering, peat particles splatter on the leaves of the plant. It makes it unsightly. Frequent top watering during the summer also exposes more perlite, and we end up with only perlite on top. The gravel prevents this type of erosion from happening.

What can I do to kill the anaerobic bacteria? I have a venus fly in a pot that smells like eggs and the health of the plants has starting failing last couple of days. I'm going to repot in new moss though, but any help I'd appreciate
