Hi all, I am one of those newbies ensnared by the garden centre lies!
After picking up a VFT at a GC and having it actually survive on my north facing bathroom window sill and then a Pitcher plant (which I later worked out was a Sarracenia Flava) which also survived I decided that perhaps my thumb was greener then I thought (I HATE gardening with a passion).
Being an inquisitive sort I did some research and was astounded to find out that these things can survive outside in the UK!!! I am currently accommodating them in a tray in the garden (potted) along with three droseras I picked up from the GC today. 2x Aliciae and a Capensis Alba. They looked very sorry for themselves and for a pound each they seemed worth a punt.
The plan now is to build a dedicated microbog in an old ornamental fountain I have. I will update maybe when thats done. There is plenty of cutting, drilling and planning to do on that one.
