Hello all
I live in NE Florida where I have a bunch of native CPs already. I've collected some that are growing on my land as well as recently purchased a few Sarrs to round out my collection of native Florida species. I'm wanting to pot them up so I can have them in my back yard to enjoy without having to go slog through the woods to a bog. I have a 16" diameter pot. The planned stocking is all six Florida Sarrs that are either mature or nearly mature. All plants have a single growth point. I will also ideally include Pings and Droseras from the yard. I have one, maybe two species of Ping and two, maybe three species of Drosera. Utriculara subulata is also present, but I won't be intentionally gathering any of those. I'm sure I'll get some regardless.
Anyhoo, my questions are as follows:
Here's pics of the pot and the planter to hold the water:

Anyhoo, my questions are as follows:
• If I live in native CP land, is there any reason to assume that shoveling some of my yard dirt into the pots would be bad?
• I have a 16" diameter pot. Would my planned stock work, or should I take it back and find something bigger?
• I assume that even though I'm in the native range, I'd need a way to make sure the pot stays wet. Correct?
• Is there any reason to think that my well water would be bad for the plants? It is untreated and AFAIK the same thing they're getting anyway.
