Maybe I can convince my mom to let me move it indoors, if not then I'll stick it on the corner of the porch closest to the house. I do go out and look at my plants daily, is it possible to pinch off the plantlets and dispose of them before they fall on their own?

That is very helpful, thank you! I would definitely love to try to grow some from seed.

Your plants look beautiful, and so healthy!

I wish I didn't have to keep this plant but unfortunately I don't have a choice :-( We do not have much of a winter here either, it doesn't usually get cold enough to kill the little suckers. I guess I will just have to keep an eye on it if there's no way to stop it from putting out plantlets...

Recently we have acquired a kalanchoe tubiflora, my mom bought it because she really likes them. However, this plant is an invasive species + noxious weed in our area and I really want to prevent it from spreading, either to my other potted plants or the ground. I cannot get rid of the plant...

Yeah, that would make sense! Hopefully they'll at least move the temperates next winter so they can have their dormancy.

At least at this place they had them outdoors in full sun, even if they did screw up on the watering and give wrong information about the plants' care requirements and native habitat. It's interesting that the terrarium at the botanical center where you are is doing so well, I suppose sarrs must...

All of your heliamphora are so beautiful, they are amazing!

That's good! Honestly what I'm more concerned about than whether the cultivars are registered is whether the plants are properly labeled in the first place, I kind of feel like a nursery that calls them tropical and gives them no water might just pick up some random sarrs and slap names of...

What a beautiful plant! Congratulations on such a lovely nepenthes.

I am glad to hear that! All that I had been able to find from a google search on the topic of saving dry sars was that they should not be dry in the first place so I was honestly a bit concerned that it was a death sentence for them. Thanks for the input!

Today I went to the garden store and rescued a couple of particularly horribly cared for sarracenia, a 'bug bat' and a 'carolina yellow jacket,' although based on this particular garden store's really serious lack of expertise on the plants I am not entirely certain that they actually ARE said...

Thanks for the info! I have not grown sundews from seed before, will it be explosive like the hitchhiker u. bisquamata and need to be quarantined when flowering or will it stick to its own pot, and how should I go about harvesting the seeds in order to plant them where I want them rather than...

Oh gosh, that isn't what I ordered but it's still alright! Thank you for letting me know!

That's good, although I will definitely be careful not to let it spread any more! I don't yet have enough plants to start trading but I would hate to accidentally include a weed in a trade, even a weed that I personally like. I'll keep it isolated when it flowers. Thanks again for the help!
