Step-by-Step Assembly & Care Guide: Simple instructions to build your bog bowl in minutes and keep it thriving.
Easy 3-Step Assembly
Prep the Bowl: Fill your container bowl with the supplied custom bog mix. Make sure the mix is nicely pre-dampened/moist before setting your plants.
Plant: Set your bare-root plants into the moist mix and tuck live moss accents around the bases.
Place & Bottom-Water:
Location: Place Venus Flytrap and Pitcher Plant bogs outdoors in full direct sunlight (6+ hours daily). Tropical Sundew bogs must stay indoors in a bright, sunny window or under grow lights.
Watering: Set the container inside a shallow tray filled with 1–2 inches of distilled water, reverse-osmosis water, or rainwater so it bottom-waters naturally. (Never top-water aggressively or let the soil dry out entirely!)
