Is our bog a places for CPs?

We currently have a bog garden that is getting over grown so we are going to do an overhaul on it! Currently has mud from elsewhere in the garden and the bog graden is directly connected with our pond.

Would we be able to put CPs in the bog and survive if the soil where to be changed to peat/ living sphagnum with pearlite and sand? Please advise on other substitues.

Would nutrient levels be to high as it is directly connected with our pond? ~ there is no algae growing in the pond at the minute

Note: I'm hoping to grow a range of sarracenia and native plants in the bog

Thanks

Its filled with rainwater,

May have a few grass carp if they have survived the hot sumer drought

Plant life is prolific in the pond itself (non-carnivorous)

Thanks

Try with a few plants that you don't mind losing.

I tried S. purpurea in a pond a few years ago. The results were not good probably due to a combination of excess nutrients and poor water quality. The plant never recovered. But that was my pond and yours will be different.
