Sarracenia

The new sarracenia from Rarefinds came in safe and sound. After giving them a week and a half to catch thier breath, I repotted them into the mini-bogs they’ll be living in for a while.

Sarracenia catesbaie (natural hybrid of S. flava and S. purpurea)

Sarracenia rubra

Sarracenia alata

And the big bog – S. purpurea and an unknown (hybrid?).

  1. yikes, carnivorous plants! i don’t dare buy one, or next thing i know my house will be filled with them. i’m glad to hear that those marginals plants got there OK. i was going to leave you a note on DendroBoard, but that site is down(?).

    i think that you will like those mangroves. they are cool plants. i would suggest potting up the mangroves in semi-permanent containers as soon as you can. they are overall pretty hardy, but they resent being transplanted. they grow, so i suggest two or three in each of those hanging planters, so that they fill in faster.

    you know i failed to write down the other plants that i included in the box. can you refresh my memory? i can provide some tips for those too. most of those other plants would not be able to tolerate any kind of brackish water, but i sent them along because they could make a pretty nice Southeast US/Central American setup with killis or Cryptoheros cichlids or whatever.

    talk to you later.

    cheers,

  2. Sorry it took so long to respond – busy busy.

    1st – thanks again!

    2nd – the other plants are:
    Lippia nodiflora
    Polygonum coccineum
    Ludwigia peruensis
    Ruellia brittoniana

    Looks like I’ll need to set up a small Central American biotope *grin*
