RE: carnivorous plants was: Clivia Golden Dragon

Ohhhh, it is hypertuffa!  Is there something I can line it with?  What is
the best media to use for a bog container?

Blessings,
Bonnie (SW OH - zone 5)

Well, thank you, Bonnie, for the kind words and confidence.   Just
one thought - if that's a hypertuffa trough, it may be too alkaline
without a liner - from the concrete in it, which will leach out.
