Question
Hi there. I plan on potting a few different cp's out side this spring and I was wondering if they'd all be compatible with the same soil. I hope to have a sarracenia purpea, venus fly trap, canebrake sweet pitcher, and a northern dewthread all in the same pot. They will have full sun, outdoors. Is it possible for all these to be in the same pot?
Hi Chris,
Yes! All of these plants have the same growing requirements, so they will grow well together in the same pot. Just make sure the pot is large enough to accommodate all of them without any of the plants blocking the other from sunlight.
Watch our videos on YouTube for examples of how we grow our plants outdoors. We also talk about how to grow them together in our DVD, Grow Carnivorous Plants Volume 1.
