Companion Plants for Carnivorous Bogs: Cranberries, Ferns, Orchids

Bog associates that share acidic, low-nutrient soil:

Cranberry, lingonberry, bog blueberry.

Caveats

Companions may need light fertilization (Osmocote pellets near them only).
Ferns want shade—place where they get protection from taller Sarracenia.
Don't overcrowd.
