A bowl I just found in the cupboard that might be nice for an indoor mini bog garden

It's 8.5" across at the top, and 5" deep. Might make a drosera bog garden in it

Part of my first (and mostly unsuccessful) attempt to propogate CPs by submerging cuttings in water. Only about three actually did anything.

My VFT's first catch

Poorly Drosera Binata

For some reason, after doing really well for a while, my D. Binata started drying up. I think this might have been because it was on my office windowsill, and due to the shape of the buildings around, when the window was open during the summer, it got blasted by a fairly strong breeze. I moved it downstairs, where it got more light and less wind, but it hasn't really recovered. The leaves still grow and then dry up a short while later.
