Flytrap bog planter

Grow carnivorous plants standing in rainwater

A pot and tray made for Venus flytraps, sundews and pitcher plants, which want wet feet and no minerals. The inner pot drains through the floor holes into a deep tray of rainwater, so the bog stays wet all summer. A reminder to use distilled water only is moulded on the pot.
