I made these three plant bogs to sell locally. I'm curious if anyone has any opinions on appearance, interest, and cost/value.
For the substrate I used hand washed coco chips, extra large perlite, and LFS. The small one is seeded with enough live sphagnum to fill in the pot over a few months, the medium is seeded liberally, and the large is fully topped with live sphagnum.
The small pot has a clump of noid Heliamphora, and a plug of Drosera Adelae. There's also some cape sundew growing in there because of course there is.
The medium pot has the same but with a plug of Utricularia longifolia.
The large pot has a large clump of noid Heliamphora, a large plug of D. adelae, a small cape sundew, and a cutting of Utrocularia reniformis.
For prices I'm considering $59, $79, and $99.
I'd love to hear your opinions.

I do like the choice of red sphagnum for these guys. Personally i feel like the utricularia choices may detract from the appearance a bit as in their current form they look like a weed sprouted in the pot, and over time they may shade out the other plants with their larger leaves, particularly that reniformis, though the longifolia might coexist well. Granted i would be ecstatic to find an in person sales of reniformis, but i would also immediately yoink it out to put in its own pot lol. imo Calycifida or maybe even trying out Sandersonii, Blanchetii, or Dichotoma in that mix might look better over time with the smaller leaves, but you know your plants better than me.
All things considered i do feel those prices are quite fair for the uncommon and healthy looking plants in there.
