"Most #CarnivorousPlants colonize wet, nutrient-poor habitats such as #bogs or #swamps. One of the few exceptions is the genus #Pinguicula... they thrive on rocky soils that are very dry for at least half of the year... Until now, it was unknown how the #plants compensate for the lack of water and still have enough to produce the sticky mucilage... in CAM, the stomata of the leaves remain closed during the day"

Checking in on the bog that I replanted on the 16th with a digital magnifier to see how it is settling in. Seems like it's doing okay (most sundew traps are progressing except for a couple and the Venus Flytrap seeds seem to have set). Some moss has burnt tips like it did in the old container and not sure if it's the lighting, dry conditions or something else yet.
