I'm going through lots of changes- surrendering my outside plants, setting up a beginner's kit for my friend, preparing for giveaways here....and I'm just stuck, and need to ask one last thing from the forum... I never grew utrics. They didn't appeal to me, and when I tried, I killed them. And...

Hi all I found this site via a Google search for culture info on Mexican Pings. But as it turns out, my one and only Mexican Ping was purchased from FlyTrapShop.com this summer-so I should have known about this forum before now. I have a P. moctezumae. I also have a few pots of VFT, about 5...

First the disclaimer..... There are as many methods as there are growers. Some grow beautiful helis using methods totally opposite from these. It is not my intention to imply that you must follow these recommendations to be successful. I present this guide as what "I"do and what "I" believe...

Been looking around on threads for members different recipes for success for their drosophyllum. Can't seem to find one that delves too deep. Hopefully we can start something here. My current media mix has been mixed up and is awaiting for it's recently ordered dewy pine to call home to the...

Hi all and sorry for the long post! I just figured it would be better to ask 1 big question and introduce myself at the same time than flooding the forum with 23 identical questions :) I hope you can bare with me! See I've got a big problem. Until recently I was happily...

Just wondering if there are any U. purpurea growers out there? I wanted to put a moat around my bog garden that I'll be constructing in NY and wanted to have an assortment of terrestrial and aquatic Utrics in there. The one I'm worried about is Utricularia purpurea. I read that it can be a...

Anybody have any type of temperate Aquatic utric (anything that will do good in S.Cali full sun) that they can trade off? As well as any Daphnia (water fleas) just enough to get a culture going. PM me for what I have to offer...

While studying up on my Utric. dichotoma and learning they grow as a terrestrial and an aquatic I decided to grow my plant in that manner. Using a square glass container I cut a piece of mesh to fit the diagonal and filled one side with a peat/sand mix and the other side with water. I used lfs...

Hello Terraforumers, I am looking for terrestrial or aquatic utrics and Pinguicula cyclosecta. I am quite new to the forum and CPs. Please PM me with details, questions, comments, concerns, etc. Please let me know, and thank you!

So I'm not in California, but I have a friend who lives in Orange, California and I'm getting her into CPs (she was already fascinated, but I mailed her my copy of The Savage Garden and really did it now :lol:) Anyway, she's moving to her own place soon and will have a nice yard and so of...

So, I know aquatic utrics like acidic water but I have been wondering, does it have to be distilled? Can I just use water from the tap treated with fish dechlorinator? U. graminifolia and U. gibba might be able to grow like this, any info on that? What about U. inflata? Thanks. :)

I got my first Nepenthes on the 5th of this month.:0o: Having never purchased "mail order plants" other than aquatic, I was very impressed in the care that was taken in packaging these beauties. All are happy and growing already. My question is, will the older pitchers the plant had on it...

I am starting my small collection for CPs, and was hoping I could find a few plants that I could not get a hold of online(they were out of stock!!) I don't have much to trade, but Id thought I'd give it a shot to see where it leads... I have: - 30grams of 90% hatch success Brineshrimp...
