So has anyone tried actually raising brine shrimp or something similar for the express purpose of feeding Utrics? I know some of you guys keep aquatics in fishtanks, where they may get additional nutrition from the foods fed to the fish. Do they do significantly better with a source of prey, or...
My Aquatic Wetlands Prof. is going to give me all of the Utrics he collected this spring now that we have had our exam over the samples. He has never been able to keep them alive over winter because they make Turrions and then poop out on him and die. I figure I can prolly just give them a...
Ok, I have the chance to get as much Utricularia vulgaris as I could want.
I don't have any aquatics, and wouldn't know anything about keeping or caring for it.
What size/type of container would I need?
Do you need to circulate the water at all..
Basically I need a primer on aquatic...
I know this is probably a pretty silly question, but does anyone happen to have any of these laying about?
duckweed, water lettuce, water hyacinth, etc...those types of aquatics...smaller would be better.
Edit: Actually just duckweed I guess...the other ones would get way too large for the...
I had made a post on here some time ago asking if anyone has tried to grow Utricularia the way Geoff Wong grew his Genlisea in the SG book. I wondered this because I wanted to see the Utricularia traps. Almost everyone said to me to grow aquatics if I wanted to see the traps.
So I decided to try...
Trades will come first in importance and will be sent out ASAP.
After trades I will take SASE ($2 for bubblelope or $3 small box and shipping). If SASE -

This was not a controlled experiment, but I feel I have to say something about the way my plants spent the winter. I keep them in the unheated basement where temps occasionally reach freezing, but are typically in the high 30s (F). I have in the past been careful to follow the stated advice to...

I have purchased a daphnia colony and put half into my aquatics tank. I did this last Saturday. In the tank I have inflata, purpurea, aldrovanda, gibba and aureaus. The plants were growing fairly well anyway, but there is already some amazing differences since the daphnia addition. The one that...
I have 4 N. gracilis cuttings and 1 N. superba-mixta cutting to trade. I am looking for N. ampullaria (with the speckled pitchers), Utricularia (except for lividia and aquatics), and sundews.
Please PM me offers. I will be out of town until sunday so I will respond to offers then.
Oh one more...
Hello again,
I am rooting some N. Tobaica cuttings. I checked today and they are starting to root. The best is already going out, but I have two small ones left. The cuttings are small, but already have pitchers. I would like to trade for Neps, but will listen to offers of anything not on...
Here is the latest travel log from Jim Miller from this mornings trip (9/21) God, I wish I had been there to see this! I can only imagine except I already placed my order for the video so at least I will see it.

Hi guys!
First off, the site on Highway...
Ive been keeping carnivorous plants almost 6 months now and Im getting to the point where I have plants to trade.
Right now I have to trade:
U.bisquamata
U.dichotoma
U.graminifolia (a few small pieces)
U.livida (lots)
...
I was just thinking. Having examples of plants that normilly inhabit my state would be pritty neet. Does anyone here know what speciese are native to MI? I know we have a Pitcher, a Butterwart, a Sundew and I'm pritty sure we have Blatterwarts too, but I'm not ready for aquatics yet. Thanks
Yea, you heard right. I ordered from somewhere else other than petflytrap. But they didnt have butterworts in! Yea, so i just got it today and, it comes to me in a tiny TINY box like no taller than 2 inches, and not much wider than 1 inch. It was like so small it would fit in the palm of your...
I recieved a U. vulgaris from purplesundew in a trade (many thanks... excellent plants you sent)... I was under the impression, but not unpleasantly suprised to find out that it is aquatic... Very interesting. The traps are bigger than that of my terrestrials... I supposet hisis a charictaristic...
Ok, the only tank I have right now for making into a terrarium is 8" deep, a 12" long, and 6"wide...
What can I use this for? I was thinking a terrestrial Utric forrest, maybe a few differnet leaved ones that flowre proflifically, that would look nice, no? I dont like the idea for aquatics...
