Sealed Clay Pots and Companion Planting for Carnivorous Plants

A grower asks if clay pots sealed with water/masonry sealer are safe for CPs (chemical leaching concern), and if a potted VFT inside a larger pot with pitcher plants works.

Sealed Clay Pots: Risky

Sealer ingredients may leach. Safer: glaze and fire the pots for a truly inert seal. Or use plastic/glazed ceramic.

Companion Planting: Yes

VFTs, Sarracenia, hardy Drosera, hardy Pinguicula grow well together in a bog container—classic "savage garden."

Shared conditions: full sun, pure water, peat/perlite soil, winter dormancy.
