Some more updates from the repottin’ madness! Oh, it never ends, but I am enjoying it! One tray at a time!
I received a few select clones of S. leucophylla a while back from Dr. Travis H. Wyman — and they were getting a bit cramped in their current situation – so I decided that it was time to move them to a larger crib!
I am prepared the mini bog, filling it with some fresh media for the leuco’s! I am using a sand/peat mixture.
Here’s one container of the plants – gettin’ kind of cramped in there as you can see! That’s a large pot of about 2 or 3 plants.
Here’s a larger container of the same S. leucophylla — cramped and in need of a good cleaning. I just kind of let the containers run amok last year…
Here’s one plant. There I go with the nitrile gloves again! (Use protection folks… it’s worth it…) And see that mossy lookin’ crap? I have no idea what it is – but one thing I know — it’s annoying as hell. My homie Mike Wang calls it “bitch weed”, cuz it really is a bitch to remove! I let it kind of get overgrown last year but this year I am doing my best to keep it clean.
Mini bogs now planted. True, it does not look like much now, but I am giving them room to grow — and believe me, they WILL grow! I am looking forward to these bins filling up with some leucophylla awesomeness this coming year!
That weed looks like that nasty Irish or Scottish moss That they sell at garden centers as ground cover. I really think that it comes in the peat. Jest my opinion. If someone else knows of a different place that it comes from ,please let me know
I had some moss like that about an inch thick over one of my pots, not nice!
That mini-bog will look great when everything is growing tho’!!!
Howdy guys, here in the UK your mossy plant would be called Pearlwort or Latin name: Sagina procumbens.
It looks like it to me.
Does it have little white star shaped flowers.??
Great Sarracenias btw, currently my favourite.
