Just amazing. I wanted to try something similar but was put off by something I've read. Aren't carnivorous plants supposed to have a nutrient depleted soil in order to thrive? Did you just put it in there and hoped for the best? Have you ever added any ferts in there for the other plants?

That’s the advice, as the get all the nutrients they need from the flies they feed on. It’s how I keep mine and seems to work fine.

Sadly this little project is deceased. Last summer I forgot about while we went on holiday, it dried out. After watering it managed to regrow, but by the time autumn and winter hit all the new growth got battered by the cold and frost. This spring it was dead as a dodo.

Good while it lasted.
