butterworts

would potting soils from miraclegro work on butterworts and sundews? here are the sites that i found and i was wondering if they are good orchid potting mix...

This winter, I plan to start a minibog. However, it's going to be themed as if it's a south-east American wet field. In simpler terms, it'll only be plants found in south-east America (Venus Fly Traps, Thread-leaf sundews, Sarracenia, Butterworts, etc). Quick question: How do I prevent soil...

Which type of bog/minibog do you prefer: Theme bogs with just one species or genus of plants (All Venus Flytraps/All Pitcher Plants/or all Sundews), or variety bogs with many different varities? I'm asking this because I'm going to be drastically changing my minibog this winter (new and larger...

Yesterday my Grandad had this great idea - get me a terrium, or more factually - make one. So we went down to Mitre 10 (local hardware store in NZ) and what do you know, they were advertising grow racks (or mini-greenhouses, as they called them), and Grandad was like, 'lets get one of those...

say good bye to my nephentes and VFT my fish tank fell on my PC dragging along whit it my VFT, Nephente's and butterwort the butterwort's pot is smashed and it's leaves are covered completely in dirt The VFT ha been decapitated 3 time's and my nephentes has had 3 or o of it's new pitcher's cut...

In all my years of growing CP I've never experienced this. Most of my Sundews, Butterworts, and Flytraps have turned black and died. Actually, the Flytraps have died back to the bulb. They aren't dead. What is so startling about this phenomenon is that the all of these plants were growing...

So, I'm in the market for a butterwort. I'm leaving for my college dorm in August, and I would like a butterwort to grow under my lamp (my N. Ventricosa is growing extremely well under it). However, my Nepenthes is getting too big, so I would like a nice butterwort, perferably Mexican. Any...

No matter what I do, this species of Mexican butterworts has to be th most frustrating to ship, being slightly worse than P. jaumviensis. I've tried dried peat and dried LFS. I just can't plants from point A to point B without fatalities. A friend suggested shipping leaves. I think I'll try...

Someone mentioned that eggshells are comprised of Calcium Carbonate and that it could be used as a soil medium for Mexican butterworts. Can anyone verify this?

I grabbed these from Lowe's today. I'm pretty sure they're Pinguicula primuliflora. The largest one may have a chance; the medium-sized one has stubs for roots and will probably die. The tiny cluster was a "bonus" in the package. I haven't grown butterworts yet, but I followed what the Savage...

Im looking for any CP plants, im just starting out and would like Sarracenias, Droseras, butterworts or any other CP would go well in my area, zone 6/7. Heres a list of what I have for trade Brugmansia 'Single White' Brugmansia 'Cupid's Blush' Brugmansia 'Canary Bird' Brugmansia 'Everlasting'...

After going through more of my dried seeds pods I have discovered I have more Oodham's Devils Claw seeds (Proboscidea parviflora variety hohokamiana) than I would ever want to plant without starting a plantation so I wondered if anyone would be interested in trading for some. I am not really...

Out of all my plants on the rack, including sundews, butterworts, and bladderworts, I have 2 containers of U. calcyfida whose leaves are looking burnt along the edges. I can't think of a reason why this species alone is reacting. Any ideas?

Many people say you need multiple fluorescent lights to grow CPs, i only have a small set in my room, i grow them at our pet store too. I have found out, that for a small set up, you can use the Repti-Glo 5.0+ Full spectrum lights, i use one and i have healthy plants. My typical VFT is a bit...

hello I've been growing Mexican butterworts for about 4 years now and I've had some crosses I've made grow to blooming size , well my first cross was P.gigantea x P. reticulata and the resulting baby's have turned out to be quite exciting one has flowers that look and smell just like...

Hey all, I'm looking for other butterworts NOT in my collection. These are the plants I have so far; P. agnata, P. cyclosecta,P. esseriana, P. moranesis, P. rotundifolia and P. laneana x emarginata. Willing to trade!

We just moved this Saturday, to a townhouse within the same town, in Western New York. My CP collection, minus a couple Petiolaris Complex plants are on the patio of the apartment, which will be adequate for ther balance of the summer and part of the fall. My wife volunteered to find me an...

Every year I offer a tour of the Green Swamp. I have so many sites it could take two full days to see them all. I can show you 5 varities of Flavas, 5 species of pitcher plants, 4 species of sundews, 2 species of butterworts, countless species of bladderworts, and of course I'll show you venus...

I love making these topics, and, for some reason, they are popular. Indeed, I'll probably get as much posts as I did on CPUK by doing this! What was your first plant? I ordered VFT Seeds before a Pinguicula primuliflora, but, the primuliflora arrived first. I was doing a science project on...
