@Angel bog plants don't need any soil at all - they just need to be IN the bog. Not trying to belabor the point here, but I'd hate to see you make the same mistake again and be disappointed. You can wash the roots clean of ALL the dirt and plant in your bog and plants will go crazy. Just ditch the pot!

Completely agree and you really do not need to remove the dirt, it will not migrate within your 'bog'.

I knocked of excess dirt but left what was in the roots. Was not worried about migration as the dirt would settle in bog or eventually get filtered out.

I left the dirt on the roots for the Jenny's and cork screw.

Maybe I drowned it. Or just got a bad plant.

Who knows. Not gonna plant anything this year as winter will be here soon. Perhaps next year

Went to check on my pond tonight and now I am thinking it was slugs as there are 3 in the bog now and the rush was the only broad leaf plant.
