    feeding my sundews

    Ok, based on reading a past thread on feeding CP's, I just tried the stunned ant method. It worked great! Trying to catch live ants is tough as they run all over the place. Instead i collected as many live ants as i could using a stick and a glass jar with lid. I then put it in the freezer for...

    Too many caught

    Hey, I have a sort of strange question. How do you all feel about flytraps catching too many insects? I am growing them outside in pots for the first time and almost all the traps are shut from catching a pillbug there, an ant here, etc. Everyone else's pictures have flytraps with numerous...

Next thing I know, I feel this horrible burning feeling on my foot. I look down and there are about 100 red...

    Too much insects

    One of my N. x edinensis' pitchers have caught so much ants that it has exceeded the water line. There's so much ants that any new ant that enters the trap is just walking over dead ant corpses. Is it ok to add some water or will the pitcher produce water or fluid or whatever that thing is. The...

    Terro ant killer is the best ant killer. All I did is place a few drops in the ant path and in a day or two they will be gone. This stuff is like gold. Don’t get me wrong my nepenthes love having all the ants in their pitchers. But I hate ants. I flushed the Queen out and feed her to my D...
