In Barry Rice's CP faq and on a few other sites about growing aquatic utrics, it is mentioned that having Typha (cattail) leaf litter in the container can help the plants thrive. I'm thinking about trying it. Is anyone who is growing aquatic utrics use them, or otherwise add anything to the...

Hi, Is anyone out there growing this utric? Would like to obtain a plant or plantlet/starter portion. Trade for other aquatic utrics or dew seeds or, ??? Thanks!

I want to expand my CP collection but don't have any CPs to trade with. I do however have an excess of some aquatic plants that I can trade off, some grown emersed some submersed, I will try to specify which. I'm making the list mostly from memory without going down to check the bins at all so...

Hello everyone, It is with great pleasure (and relief) that I would like to announce the publication of a 40-page paper that summarizes 23 years of field work with the Drosera villosa complex in Brazil. I think I wrote the first draft of this article back in 1997, but the writing only truly...

So I'm working on expanding my collection of CPs. I actually have quite a few questions I guess so try to bare with me. My thread for my first two CPs can be found here. The D. Capensis and the Nep both seem to be doing ok although I do have a question about each. The Capensis first, it...

Hello All, I've recently gotten into CP's. It all started when I went to Home depot and found this ailing Nepenthes tucked away in the discount section half dead. In my attempt to recover my plant I went online and started doing research and came upon a few websites but one in particular, which...

Hello everyone, I'm interested in affixed aquatic Utricularia, particularly biloba, volubilis, or resupinata. If you have any Utricularia that grow in a substrate underwater besides graminifolia, gibba or intermedia, I would be interested in trading. I have Aldrovanda vesiculosa and Utricularia...

Hi everyone, I'm Howard. I've been getting back into carnivorous plants after a 3 year gap. I have a Nepenthes (not sure about the species) that I've had for almost 10 years. Here's a list of plants I have acquired in the last few months: Aldrovanda vesiculosa Utricularia gibba Utricularia...

This first one is a standard 29g tank, dirted substrate capped with play sand from Home Depot. Lighting is 3x 24w t5ho sunblaster nanotechs, Pressurized co2 injection, dry fert dosing. This is my 20L low tech. Lighting is 2x 8.5" shop light domes with 23w 6500k cfls, again dirt capped with...

specifically looking for four leaf water clovers (Marsilea hirsuta) let me know if you have some so we can work out a trade. PM me for my availability. If you have other aquatic/aquarium plants let me know I may want to trade for them too thanks

I want to get some help from the more experienced people here to see if I'm doing anything wrong or if there's anything I can do better. I was at a local garden center a week ago and kinda impulsively purchased two CPs they had there. I've had them IDed as N. x ventrata and D. Capensis...

Just trimmed my mess of Rotala and the first one that can Paypal me $7 for shipped gets it. This needs to go out in the morning so if you can not paypal today do not post! Easily 20+ stems. Disclaimer.....I have pulled out 3 "bad" snails this week from the 150g tank this plant was taken...

Hey everyone: I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for an aquatic utric that would grow in a standard 2-3 inch water tray that I keep full (mostly) to water some of my other CPs. It'd get light from T5 grow lights and I'd be sure to introduce daphnia. Suggestions? Thanks, -N

Hey everyone. A little introduction. I have practically zero experience with carnivorous plants, in fact I don't really have much experience at all with terrestrial plants. I have however been in the aquarium hobby for a little over 3 years now. I've been keeping aquatic plants in my tanks for...

I was just hoping to poll you guys on how best to control non-Sphagnum moss growth on sundews. It grows so abundantly in my greenhouses that it suffocates everything. My current strategy consists of ripping the top layer of media off and transplanting the sundews back in after I've tweezed the...

Hey all, I just wanted to share some photos of carnivourus plants in their natural habitat, I took all these photos last September. Drosera spatulata growing in the lawn, when I returned this year, this area no longer had the Drosera growing in it. Drosera spatulata growing on a fire...

At a local nursery yesterday I found this utric. It was growing in a big tank with water lilies for sale. I am guessing it came in on the feet of a bird, or hitchhiked in some other fashion. I brought home a piece and took a few pics. It is a bit beat up, but to me looks like something I...

I grew Mexican pings several years ago when I was in high school. Back then I grew my pings in a 2:1 mix of perlite and peat because it was the best mix I could make out of what was available at home depot. I just moved into my own place and I was thinking about growing some pings again. I've...

ive been wanting to try an aquatic carnivore for a while and after reading The Savage Garden, id like to try this guy. Ive heard its an easy to grow Utric for a first timer. Anyways, ive got some D. Capensis, and S. rubra that i have for trade. their pictures are attached. the capensis will...

Hello TF members:) I've recently gone out from planted tanks into African cichlids. It's good and bad at the same time. Good: less maintenance, African cichlids are easier to breed and sell, does well with the naturally hard water in Lathrop. Bad: less plant options because of high ph(7.5 -8)...
