butterwort

my 6 plants got a good wash from an unexpected rain. my recovering Butterwort got soaked and torn, my drosera isnt sticky, well- you got the point, most of the plants didnt really like it. i took them all inside, but now what? im gonna water them just the same, but what do i feed them with in...

Lets see where to start? I am Vater. I am a proud husband and father of two. I'm a welder by day and Magician by night. I'm constantly searching for ways to incorporate plants in to my shows. I am reduced to one 20 inch diameter bog after a resent storm in Michigan destroyed my large (at least...

A week or two Ago I encountered some trouble with tomato fruitworms. They ate my VFTs and I found one on my primrose butterwort (Pinguicula primuliflora). The worm cut a leaf completely off. I just left the cut leaf an the soil(not intending to make it a leaf cutting, but this was what I found...

Hi, Sorry about the quanity and quality of the photos. In a moment of weakness I broke down and bought a Nep and Ping from Lowes today. I broke out the ol' camera and took some pictures. I think the Nep is ventricosa but not sure. Also, is the ping a prim? The ping had a bunch of...

So, I got home yesterday from a very busy day of class and my six year old brother comes up to me and gives me something. He said that "they are all happy under the sun." He said that they are "a sundew, a happy red dragon venus flytrap, a butterwort with a flower, and a pitcher plant" (from...

i'm only just beginning, and so my list is currently laughable growing: Sarracenia purpurea Sarracenia hybrid - possibly part leucophylla Drosera capensis Dionaea muscipula Nepenthes alata Nephentes - unknown, i shall probably eventually get round to posting a photo and asking what it is and...

I went to the science store and they made a fan for me. They thing is they made it too powerful. We got mixed up somewhere I think. So now I have a fan I can't take back and right now really can't use. So if anyone wants/needs it send me a pm and we can work something out. Maybe a cheap sundew...

Hi everyone! I’m new to CP growing and am very interested in growing them and getting more! I’ve just started a terrarium and am taking my collection as seriously as I can afford (for now) It’s not too big (just a 50 gallon reptile tank) converted to a terrarium with 2 florescent 4 foot lights...

I'm really interested in making a pretty little terrarium of CP for my desk.. unfortunately I don't know anything about plants, CPs, or terrariums. I live in Michigan, so the winters are way too rough for me to winter my plants outside and the whole dormancy thing sounds like it might be a bit...

Hey guys. I am pretty new to all this. I have these two plants next to each other in a mini bog. P. planifolia and P. primulifolia. The planifolia is going gangbusters but the primuilflora has declined from a small vigorous colony to one plant barely making it. Everyone is probably going to...

Heya. I've been lurking around here for a bit, shortly after finding a copy of The Savage Garden at a local bookstore and deciding to get back into growing CPs again. I've kept VFTs pretty much since I was little, and have a nice, vigorous one now, but it's been a long time since I've grown...

Help! I just bought some CPs from lowes: a butterwort, an S Purpurea and an S Rubra. I have put the butterwort inside on a sill next to my D adelae, but the pitchers Ive put outside on my patio with my flytraps and D binata vars where they will get morning direct sun for about 2 or 3 hours (or...

My Butterwort has rotted all the way from overwatering. I currently keep it indoors, uncovered, with natural light. I keep it in a plastic tray and water it when necessary. Outside is not an option as of yet. I live in Michigan and it is still pretty cold. Any advice to promote growth would be...

Does anyone have any or seeds of this plant? Or does anyone know where to get one?

One day, I was just lookin' at my terrarium, when I decided to smell it for no particular reason. When I did, I smelled a very nice smell, kind of like a hyacinth or like any of those flowers that pop up in spring. I traced it to my U. livida clump, which has dozens of flowers. I noticed it...

Larry from http://insectivorous.com and I realized we live extremely close to each other so we decided to meet up and visit the Cal State Fullerton greenhouse to check out Sarracenias, Droseras, Pinguiculas, Cephaloti, Nepenthes, etc!!! (and of course, the best: venus fly traps). Most of the...

Ok so I got one of these beauties for a christmas presant. My first butterwort. When it came the plant was dime-sized and its leaves had all fallen off and the plant was up rooted. the leaves were scattered about and i was wondering can I root these leaves even if it is such a small plant? I...

I recently was given a mexican butterwort hybrid about a month ago.  It has been growing very well in my terrarium.  The temperatures are a little on the cool side average about 77F during the day and about 68F at night.  The humidity is about 85% on average with very good airflow.  A few weeks...
