Not the answer I was looking for, but I'll take it. Go ahead and sign up.

Still looking for another answer.

I butchered question 10 that should be 11 but not to be confused with the 10 that was actually 10. The answer I was looking for was horse supplement containers, which I have turned into pots, but I do use water troughs for my bogs and as trays for my large pitcher plants.

Question 12. What is my prefered growing medium for flytraps and pitcher plants in smaller pots?

A 50/50 blend of peat moss and perlite or silica sand with a layer of chopped sphagnum over the soil to help prevent the perlite from floating out.

That is my formulation for starting seeds, but not what I prefer for larger flytraps and smaller sarracenia.
