Salt in Pond Bog: 0.1% Is Lethal to Carnivorous Plants

Grower uses 0.1% salt in fish pond (no effect on pond plants). Can Sarracenia and Dionaea survive in attached bog?

1000 ppm = Death Sentence

0.1% = 1000 ppm total dissolved solids. CPs need <50 ppm. They tolerate 200 ppm for months with leaf damage, but not long-term. Keep CPs in trays with pure water, not pond bog.

Good growing!
