Sarracenia etc.

I used a 50/50 mix of canadian sphagnum peat and vermiculite. I saw lots of
recipes on the web for Sarracenia planting medium. They seem pretty
tolerant of different ingredients. Nothing seemed particularly better than
another.
They've been outside soaking up this wonderful light steady rain we've had
for almost 24 hours now. I hope they're happy! Time will tell...

Dennis what mix did you use for the Sarracenia?
I grew some Sarracenia purpurea and hybrids from seed -3 months cold in
baggie then warm on a heat pad in sphagnum over 1:1 peat / silica sand in a
lettuce box - high humidity under lights in winter and after 13 months they
are nice little plants up to 2 inches high with 10-12 leaves greens and red
colors.
i like to know you plans for these plants outside beside making a bog
garden.
