I have a few sundews, Pinguicula Primafloras, and various varieties of utricularia that I keep in my IKEA Milsbo cabinet under grow lights and they are doing great! I would like to set up a bog garden- something more esthetically pleasing. I currently keep them in about an inch or two of water. What kind of substrate can I use for my bog garden? Do they constantly need that water reservoir? Not sure how to do that without always disrupting the substrate. Should I keep them in their pots and just add moss or rocks around them to camouflage the pots? Appreciate any tips!

I use perlite, peat moss and sand in my bogs, and keep them wet

Grown in 100% long fiber sphagnum. 100% wet at all times.

Here is my bog set-up ! It’s in a planter and I keep it in a tray of water at all times. They’re doing pretty good. Substrate in peat/perlite/coarse quartz sand probably 2/1/1 but I don’t remember exactly.
