I do grow carnivorous plants, mainly alot of sundews and butterworts pingulas or however you spell it and say... a cephalotus thats growing pretty nice and quickly enough for me, and a few venus flytraps. I have all my orchids and other plants in pretty much the same growing meduim, which is a high quality sphagnum moss, fir bark, a little peat moss and then a sprinkle of soil to get some microbes. I've since added mycorrhiza pellets for additional microbes. I just need to keep it more consitently moist, but its growing, and im sure its originally a very slow grower, so i guess im happy with that..
I just wish it would be the dominant moss in some of the pots. Saying that, im going to switch it over with my cephalotus, cause when that baby turns red or maroon in its later years, that moss should have had plenty of time to spread, and will give nice contrast between maroon and lime green.
