I have this bog. Right now, the plants are in pots. I have sarracenias, dionaeas, droseras, some bog orchid and lots of sphagnum there. I'd like to put potting mix into the bog and plant them directly into it. I have a rough plan, but I'm not sure if it's correct as this is my first time doing something like this. It's currently the end of winter here. Anyway, the plan:
– create a slope, plant smaller plants (flytraps and such) in the shallow part, big ones in the deeper part
– for the potting mix: I got some peat, I'd like to mix it with coco coir. Do I also add regular potting soil to this? What ratios of peat to coir to soil? Soak peat before potting, soak and rinse coco coir?
– I have some perlite, sand, and sharp gravel for the inorganic part. I'd mix these 1:1 with the organic part
Are my numbers correct? Am I forgetting anything?
Thank you!
