Pitcher Plants (Sarracenia) In BOG

[eddie209]

Has anyone had any success with Pitcher Plants (Sarracenia) in there BOG? I am making an above ground pond with a BOG. Saw a nursery on Youtube mention that Pitute Plants are good BOG plants.

I tried them in my bog, but found they are more "boggy" than true "bog" plants. My bog was just too much water for them. Most that I have seen are growing in their own boggy area near the pond edge.

Reading more on it found out only rain water or distilled water. I will pass. Thanks for the info.

Yes they like soft water and acidic conditions. They also need high light- full sun.

I did for a few years, then they just disappeared, never did well. Most of mine are in a peat moss and sand bog.
