I just moved my P. Primuliflora from my temperate terrarium to my tropical terrarium and that triggered it to flower. But for some strange reason the flower is opening on a stalk only 1cm high. Is there a reason for this and I just don't know it yet or is there something wrong with my plant...

I started this topic in "Utricularia, Aldrovanda, Genlisea" to ask some questions about a species that I was going to look for, U.floridana. I'm going to continue this topic here because it turned out that it has alot more to do with alot of diffrent species. Like I said before I've been in...

Hello, This is going to be my first butterwort. What are the growing conditions for this fellow? Anything else I should I know about this plant? (Thanks Sarracenia0.)

hiya, i'm not too sure what kinda of butterwort ive managed to get my hands on! It's green and has leaf like structures. Also the leaves have all dropped off and its turned into a rosette, does that mean that it has gone into dormancy? If yes, how long does it last and what do i need to do when...

Hi, I just bought a new Sarracenia, (and Butterwort but I know what species that is) and my new sarracenia didn't come with a name tag. It just had 'Sarracenia' and 3 pictures of a Purp, one of mine, and another one. Now onto the description. (This'll be easy for Mike ) It grows upwards, about a...

I went my local garden centre at my dad's house, and saw the nepenthes there. They were all hanging from the ceiling, quite large in size, with pitchers about 2-4inches long. I looked at the price and they were £14.99 (about $18) is that worth it? And also they had what had looked like a...

I just bought my first Butter wort today (from Franks nursery), I have lots of VFT's and pitcher plants, so I know what kind of growing conditions those need.  Can I put the Butterwort with the VFT's which get 5 or 6 hours of direct sunlight a day?  Or do these need less sun?  How much water...

I have a v-trap, purple pitcher plant, n-vintricosa, butterwort, sundew adalea and spathulana,(I don't think I spelled those right.) and a cobra-lilly. First: Which ones need to go dormant? Second: When do they need to go dormant? Third: Will they come out of dormancy on their own if they are in...

I'm part of history as we speak! Well, it's the 100th topic, like anyone cares... later!!

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 have three common v-traps. Two are very small and one is fairly large. I am trying to find out when I need to let them go dormant. They are in a terrarium with a cobra lilly, purple pitcher plant, drosera adelea & spathulata, nepenthese vintricosa, and a butterwort. If it helps I live in the...

I was wondering what is the easiest, tropical butterwort to grow out there? THANKS!!!

There have been several great posts on setting up a terrarium recently, but does anyone have any other suggestions for me? This will be my first terrarium. I don't plan on using the individual pot method and am planning on skipping dormancy this winter, I know I know, so I also need suggestions...
