Jpappy's 10 gallon CP setup

Thanks guys!

I should really do that. Nice ping flower! When are you gonna move the purp outside?

Once the other dews arrive I'll be putting together the bog. I already have all the supplies, just waiting on plants.

I also need to find the perfect spot. Unfortunately my deck is shaded most of th day. I think I'm going to try the east side of the house to get some morning/mid day sun so it's not too intense.

I don't do well waiting for packages to arrive...

At least you've got a support group! When are you expecting the plants?

 

[Chrisinator]

Can't wait to hear how well they do for you!

 

[jpappy789]

I don't know...I rechecked the confirmation email and never got a tracking number or anything.

No pics but I did notice that the spaulata is sending up another bunch of flowers as is the capensis!

Still haven't seen a package for the order and I'm going out of town for a few days. Hopefully everything makes it...

Well...package actually arrived LMAO.

Plants look decent but I'm scrambling since I had one 4" pot available and didn't have the actual bog pot drilled yet...dumb me thought I would have more time. So the filliformis and intermedia are squished into that and I have the rotundifolia in the purpurea pot now. I'm letting them settle in my terrarium since they don't have a suitable outdoor pot yet and so they aren't sun-shocked after transport. I'll update when I get back next week and when everything is put together! Wish me luck!

Sounds awesome, Pappy! Have a great trip.

The CP gods are looking out for me...

Change of plans means I have time to put everything together. The pot is drilled, substrate is being mixed, and plants will be added soon. I will post pics when I'm done!

I still think I am going to be growing these guys under my spare light until I figure out how to transition them to natural sunlight. I'll be posting on TF for some help with that.

 

[jpappy789]

Well, its done!

Right now it is residing on the edging of the raised garden on the east side of the house. I'm going to check in the morning before I leave to make sure it's getting enough sun. Hopefully it will also stay safe from critters.

As you can tell my camera does MUCH better with natural lighting...
