Sneak Peak (self.plantswap)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by recursive_recursion to c/[email protected]
 

As the first post here's a sneak peak to one of the plants that I could potentially swap:

  • Common name: Pitcher Plant
  • Genus: Sarracenia
  • Species: Sarracenia purpurea (my best guess)

The biggest ones are currently about the size of a 50ml travel-size hand lotion

  • honestly I'm surprised they even got this big cause of the climate I'm in :D
  • posting from CanadaπŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ btw!

A couple of things to note is that these require:

  1. Sphagnum moss:
  • (which can be controversial to get as some commercial extractions can destroy bogs, swamps, and wet grasslands).
  • low pH (aka acidic like pop/juice)
  1. Distilled water:
  • carnivorous plants tend to live in nutrient defficient environments so they mainly get their food via anything that falls prey to them and/or lots of sunlight/whatever light you can give it
