A little while back people posted some info on Sarracenia's lack of tolerance
for anoxic soil (lack of oxygen in soil). This was noted as one of the reasons
for the small distribution of these plants in the wild. My question is, has
anyone tried using one of the aquarium bubblers in there water trays? It seems
that one of these would keep the water "fresh" by replenishing the oxygen
dissolved in the water. It would be nice to see an experiment comparing a plant
with the bubbler and one without.
I remember reading in a digest that someone used on of these bubblers with
their Darlingtonia and noted that they used no soil cooling. Can anyone expand
on this theory
Rick
