    Potential CP Hobbyist

    We finally had the rest of the family together up to exchange Christmas presents, minus Lynn's mom. Surprisingly, my niece, Christina (Lynn's sister) is into plants and has been anticipating receiving some. So I gave her a bunch of bomb-proof sundews and butterworts. Below is a picture of her...

    Why Is First Class Arriving Quicker Than Priority?

    The title says it all. I just sent boxes out First Class, partially because it was cheaper and partially because they were butterworts, which have a good longevity for travel in the dark. I send the boxes on Tuesday and expected them to arrive on Friday. They got to their respective destinations...

    Not new here, but been a really long time

    Hey guys, there is probably only one of you that will remember who I am. It's been a long time since I've been on this forum. I decided to go back to college, so with 3 kids, my time to "play" on the forum has been sorely limited. My main interests are nepenthes, butterworts, fly traps, and...

    Karnivoren: A Review

    Karnivoren: Die Welt der Fleischfressenden Pflanzen (Carnivores: The World of Meat-Eating Plants) by Thomas Carow is perhaps the most stunning book of images dedicated to carnivorous plants in print; and I don't doubt that Carow had to remove his fair share of leeches in the process, and take...

    It's good to be back! (And the California Academy of Sciences)

    Hey everyone! Jeez, it's been ages since I've posted here. With my relatively recent move to San Diego and the (crumby) job search and everything else, it's been hard to find the time to get back on Terraforums. But times are a' changin'! Just a quick update on where I'm at: I have a patio full...

    High Output Fluorescents

    OK, I need help from the experts, or at least the experienced. I am in the process of helping our local aquarium (Great Lakes Aquarium) set up a CP display. We have bounced a lot of ideas around which I had personal experience and good success using. For the better, they have decided to dive...

    Anyone Ever Try Sponge Filters Or Foam Rubber?

    I was wondering how effective sponge filters or foam padding would be for Mexican butterworts or sundews. Anybody have experience with it?

    Can I take leaf cuttings from summer leaves of Mexican butterworts?

    My Pinguicula Moranesis just arrived about 30 minutes ago. I'm a little worried because it arrived in pieces. There were several leaves that came off, along with the flower stalk. Can I take leaf cuttings from the summer leaves? I'm worried I'll lose the plant. :-(

    Why do some Mexican butterworts bend their leaves and lift out of soil?

    Why do some Mexican butterworts bend their leaves down and lift themselves out of the soil? What can be done to prevent this?

    Hi there, Long time VFT killer, only successful with CPs as of about 3 years ago when I started reading about their needs on-line and then hooked up with other resources such as Barry Rice's website (http://www.sarracenia.com) and visiting Peter D'Amato's awesome nursery in Sebastopol, CA...
