butterworts

Hello everyone! I am a new member to Terraforums and I am loving it so far! I just had a few lighting questions. I have an empty 65 gallon acrylic aquarium that I have flipped on its side to use as a "green house" for CP's. The dimension of the aquarium is 36 inches long, 24 inches wide, 18...

Bee growing Neps and other carnivores for about six years now. I grow in a small tent I made out of three grow lights and a plastic four shelf unit. N. Ventricosa was my first Nep. Since I've added a Miranda..... And I received for free several dying plants from the local marijuana supply...

I keep my carnivorous plants in some spare space in a propagation greenhouse at the University I attend. The plants are all watered (by the greenhouse manager) through a fertigation system which delivers water soluble fertilizer through the irrigation system. My plants are on one of the "Do Not...

I thought it would be fun to try to find some of the oldest carnivorous plant cultivars out there. The ICPS has a cultivar list with dates, so I thought I'd find some of the older ones and post them here. It would be neat to see if any of them are still around and if they aren't try to find the...

Hello! So, I don't have that big of a collection yet, but I decided to share a few of the Pings that I do have so far: P. gigantea, more than 5 times the size I got it P. moranensis x ehlersiae P. 'Aphrodite.' This one's been weird for me, the main plant flowering, then dying back, and now I...

Hey all! I have heard a lot of great things about this forum so I decided to come pop in and say hello. My name is Matt and I live in Buffalo, NY. Along with my girlfriend, I run our local carnivorous plant club. I am getting my masters in botany and also run my own plant blog on the side. I...

This is my first post, but also do not know how to add a picture.：-D I want to put the butterworts are collected, whether in Mexico or temperate, because I found that I really love this species, they are really very feminine. But it gets hot, I put them all on aquaculture in the fish tank, so...

Alright, so the project I'm looking to tackle is that of three small tanks to turn into plant-only terrariums of different kinds. They're all slightly different sizes, but they're all around the 2 gallon mark and all still more or less watertight. I'd quite like to do one of each type to start...

My Pinguicula primuliflora that I have owned for roughly two and a half weeks clearly has at least four separate plants in its pot. The question is: Should I divide my butterworts, and if so, at what time?

I recently bought a Pinguicula primuliflora and I have three questions which are: 1. When I bought it from the nursery, it already had flowers. Will these impact the plant's future health? 2. I peered at the flowers very closely and saw no female flower parts. Is this species a male/female...

Hey everyone just trying to get every ones opinion on this. I am going to be re starting my whole collection, long story..... But i am going to be doing a a 10x10 grow tent aside from hanging the various pitchers and orchids, i was thinking of doing a flood table for the VFT's butterworts...

Come spring I'd like to start collecting a couple butterworts. I have a really nice, sprawling collection of Sundews, Nepenthes, VFTs, Sarrs and even bladderworts. Pings are my last unexplored territory (completely unexplored). I was wondering if anybody could recommend some good, starter...

Thought I'd share what I made this weekend.....My area where I grow my sundews and butterworts was getting kind of messy and pots would easily fall over, so I decided to make a bench to hold them all. This is the "before" area. Yup, messy! Here is all the pieces being cut and laid out. I...

Hello everyone, I recently joined this forum but have been lurking since I first started researching how to care for carnivorous plants. I asked for several for my college graduation and ended up buying several more during the summer. I currently grow butterworts, sarracenia, sundews and one...

Hi all. The last few leaves on my P. "Pirouette" are a little deformed on the edges. I don't see any obvious pests. The plant is near a south facing window on the tray system with no more than an inch of water at a time. As far as potential pests, I have had these funny tiny black larvae-like...

I am new to butterworts and need a little help! I received a P. Titan and P. Pirouette about two months ago. They were dormant when they arrived and I was told to give them their dry dormancy for another month or so. I gradually increased watering and the Pirouette started making carnivorous...

3/22 I set up 2 containers for the ping collection and put them on the grow rack outside, underneath a container of Sarracenias. I also set up 1 ½ containers for the pygmy sundews. Then I set up the 10 gallon tank for the U. gibba / Aldrovanda. It doesn’t look like the U. gibba did too well...
