aldrovanda

Hi there, At a recent plant swap a local fellow showed up and brought a few cp's. Dews and vft's mostly. We spoke prior and traded a few things. One thing I got was some D. burmannii seeds. A recent giveaway had about twenty entrants including myself.:) I was wondering if any of those who...

This will be for two Aldrovanda plants, one to each of two winners. YOU decide (sort of) when you want these to go out, I am guessing a month or two. For those in a colder climate where shipping now would be iffy. Rules: You, the entrants will need to decide amongst yourselves (leave me...

One Aldrovanda plant to one winner. Rules: Be a green member here. If not a green member, be a new member as in less than a year. $6 shipping on winner. If you enter, do read up on care and culture if you have not already. Winner from RNG in a weekish...

The Aldrovanda is waking up and growing. So I thought I might send out a few sprigs. The plan is to do this a few ways in different posts, so if you wish to participate please read each one and decide which is appropriate to you. First in part one, this will be for one plant to one winner...

Hi everyone, we are having a Winter Sale here at Meadowview with anywhere between 20% and 50% off select Sarracenia and all books (prices for members reduced as well! ) ! This sale will only last through the end of December, so take advantage. Also, S. oreophila is up for sale again, and part of...

Back to my old standby. I was looking the other day and noticed some changes at the growth tips and thought maybe they would surprise me and flower. I think though they are just beginning to get ready to take their winters nap. Thickening up at the tips. Four pieces to go out, First come...

Hi there, Up for grabs four portions of Japanese Aldrovanda. One per customer, shipping on you. Via small Priority box with an extra or two possible. The only requirements, payment of $6.00 via PP. Rather than numbers and random number generators, just be one of the first four to post in...

I have been asked for my growlist many times and I am really bad about keeping one so here goes (As of this posting this list is incomplete and only includes my Aldrovanda, Genliseas and Utricularias). My Interests in the Carnivorous plant world Primary Interests - Utricularias - Genliseas -...

...jar. A Christmas tree shaped jar ended up in my garage. It was probably meant to go to storge with the other three tonnes of Christmas periphernalia but didn't make it. I have decided to repurpose it for plant culture, specifically Aldrovanda. Paul (pearldiver) got me started with this genus...

Some time ago, I began trying to obtain seeds of Australian Aldrovanda. After a smashing episode in the mail, I got in some seeds of the Esperance population, and attempted to sprout them. Using various ways, places, containers, inside/outside, in a container with a banana peel for ethylene...

Recently my Genlisea flexulosa took a nosedive after stalling out, shrinking and eventually disappearing. I thought I had a multiple trade deal arranged over the last year or so, but that stalled out for unknown reasons. If anyone out there has mutiple plants for trade or one or two, let me...

'Tis time to pay forward Paul's awesome giveaway from last week. To continue the generosity I am offering a starter "kit" of aquatic carnivores. I will include two or three strands of winter-hardy Aldrovanda, a sprig of Ultricularia inflata, and associated water plants to help level out the...

Anybody use snails in their carnivorous plant water trays? I had heard of some folks implementing these little guys as algae control. I have began thinking about it lately after I noticed some snails doing their thing in one of my small tubs of Ultricularia and Aldrovanda. The plants themselves...

I believe that Aldrovanda has a (mostly) undeserved reputation for being hard to grow, and I think that is one of the reasons why it isn't as popular as it should be. If the secrets and key components of it's cultivation are shared, in detail and from the experience of successful growers, then...

Hi Folks, On a prior giveaway, at the end I offered a second chance to those who entered and did not win. I had planned to do this earlier, but hit a few snags along the way and it took awhile to figure out how to go with it. I had said to those who entered, post at a specified time for the...

CPs Nepenthaceae Nepenthes N. ampullaria N. Black Knight N. clipeata N. fusca "Flared Peristome" N. x 'Gentle' N. glabrata x aristolochioides N. hamata N. inermis N. 'Miranda' N. sanguinea N. sibuyanensis x (spectabilis x aristolochioides) N. ventricosa x ( xtiveyi x truncata) A bunch of...

Last year I received an Aldrovanda plant and had it, along with U gibba, in a 10 gallon fish tank. One day we had a significant rain storm and when I checked on things, I found the Aldrovanda on the porch deck, dead. Just in case I put it back in the water. But it was too late. Fast forward to...

I've had a couple "shots in the arm" with pygmy sundew gemmae and other assorted things, but what was once a thriving collection of butterworts is down to just a few. I am also missing a few basic sundews, like D. adelae, anglica, and aliciae. Here's my current grow list. Those with asterisks I...

If there is any interest, I thought it would be nice to start a thread for discussing aquatic Utricularia, where we can share our setups, pictures of our plants, etc. I will freely admit that this idea came from RL7836's Orchidioides thread, but there shouldn't be much overlap with that thread...

Hi there, Up for grabs one apical growing tip of Japanese Aldrovanda. Postage on me via regular post. If you want Priority or another option, ok by me, but cost of that will be on you. If you choose that route, I will probably include some companion plants as well. Conditions: As some...
