butterwort

my only butterwort is almost dead. After it flowered it just died. It only has a really, really tiny plantlet on it which is probably too small to live. What should I do? (p. primuliflora)

ANY AND ALL ADVICE APRESHIATED! (this has been spell checked) ...I SUCK... All my plants look like they are on the brink of death and I don't know what to do. Please move to location of specialty for areas you may be able to help in. Thanks. (or just enjoy the general feeling of doom in the...

...it's almost like I'm a full time student or something, oh yeah, I am. LOL! Sorry for not being around, it's been crazy this semester. Anyhow, I see we have a forum upgrade, nice. How has everyone been? I have plant news to blab on again. Flytraps: Stupid fungicide making all the leaves...

My ping. primuliflora is growing a small, green flower stalk or something. I can try to get a picture up sometime, but for now, it is roundish, and I think it is pointed at the top, with overlap on the sides. I'm sure someone with knowledge of pings knows what this is from experience, but since...

Yaaay! My first butterwort arrived today (from pft) It arrived in pretty good condition, and I put it in my new terrarium.

my butterwort from Lowes is sending out a flower shoot, will the plant die off if i let it flower? thanks

All help wanted to save these plants. I recieved 4 plants for free today from a place selling a few CP's. They do not look to good. I recieved some sort of Trumpet, 2 Pygmy Dews, and a Butterwort. A few things I need help on is this: The trumpets pitchers are still green at the base and the...

I finally got some pictures of my new plants uploaded. And I wanted to write a little about them on my webpage, but wanted to make sure I was naming them correctly before I did. First I wanted to apologize for having geocities. The links below will take you the page with the pictues The...

I had just recenty purchased a butterwort (sorry I don't know the species because it wasn't labeled, but I think it is primuliflora) from a local Lowe's, (probably not the best choice, cause they were kept inside in a cool dark place.) It was in one of those cupped pots (the kind with the little...

Hello everyone! I have had a single cp for a few months now. I got him from home depot. he has been doing well in my greenhouse. Recently I added a sundew from my local nursery. while I was there today, they had a pitcher and a butterwort. I bought them. I am quickly realizing how addictive this...

I was at Lowe's a several weeks ago. My wife saw a Venus Flytrap there. I had 1 or 2 of those when I was much younger, never had them long before dying. So I bought one and took it home. Started doing research on the net, in the process finding these forums, on how to care for them. After having...

Okay, so I probubly could have gotten one cheaper on line or in a trade, but it was just so cute.  I couldn't leave it their to be abused by a small child!  Okay, so I'm trying to justify impulsivly buying a CP I know nothing about. Anyhow,  I've done some reaserch and learned ... nothing...

Can I use a terrarium lizard light fixture. With a 60 watt bulb nonfluresant with a butterwort. Will the bulb fry my plant or not.

Well, I introduced myself in the Venus Fly Trap forum so I will not repeat myself except to say that I am an advanced invertebrate hobbyist (tarantulas,scorpions & centipedes ) and I am now developing an interest in CPs .... I have a Lowland Nepenthes on the way from California Carnivores along...

Admittedly, I'm very new to the CP world, be default. The proverbial friend handed down to me two gawd-awful plastic terrariums. Mind you, I've always held a profound interest in CP's, yet never felt I held within my power (muwhahahaha) the ability to provide the specific environments, etc. As...

The darn thing wont stop growing. It's too big for the terrarium now and is living and loving life in the wide open spaces. The flower is close to 50 cent piece sized. Anyone want to enter the ring and pit their Butterwort against this hunker, c'mon! Put 'em up! Shame me! (This photo was taken...

Hello everyone, Today, I was given a P. caudata.  This is my first and only experience with a Butterwort. The problem is that I do not find this plant name in "The Savage Garden" or " A guide to Carnivorous Plants of the World."   Can anyone tell from the photo what type it is?  I have it...

Yea, I just bought a butterwort from franks nursery. I was wondering what is the proper way to water them, do they need the plastic cover that came with them to remain on like my sundew? Or can I just fill the tray hes sitting on with distilled? Oh and about feeding him bugs and stuff? I just...

Yea, I just bought a sundew a day or two ago from franks nursery. It came with a little like clear plastic cup over it, and its normal sized. Now I was wondering, should I fill up the tray its sitting on with distilled, like I do for my VFT and Butterwort, or should I just mist the cup with...

About two weeks ago I ordered the CP starter pack which includes a VFT, a Sundew, a Pitcher PLant, a Butterwort, and a Nepenthes so any ifno I can get on any of these plants would be great! Thanks!
