made to be sure that the artificial bog garden can have moist soil condi-tions which will be congenial to the plants in this location. Peat soils are not only naturally acid but it is believed they con-tain low forms of plant life also which are of great assistance in pro-moting the growth of ericaceous plants that especially thrive on peatysoils. Peat bog soils lack available nitrogen and therefore carnivorousplants occur, such as pitcher plants and sundew. Humic acid is pres-ent and low temperatures are the prevailing ones. The humic acidacts upon the roots of the plants. Plants adapted to peat are likelyto be those requiring considerable humus also a cool, moist, deep, loamysoil and a position not in full sun when transplanted. |
