Growing Bog Plants

Bog plants should be planted similarly to marginal plants in individual containers of approximately one to three-gallon capacity. Some bog plants are grown in two-inch net pots, and it is recommended that you plant without removing these net pots so as not to damage the roots. Fill the pot half full with rich garden soil and use one tablet for one-gallon size pots and two tablets for two or three-gallon size pots; then continue to fill the pot with soil to about two inches from the top. Bog plants should be lowered to a depth of only one to three inches. They love moisture and are usually found at the water’s edge. Happy Aquascaping!
