butterworts

i'm only just beginning, and so my list is currently laughable growing: Sarracenia purpurea Sarracenia hybrid - possibly part leucophylla Drosera capensis Dionaea muscipula Nepenthes alata Nephentes - unknown, i shall probably eventually get round to posting a photo and asking what it is and...

I wish you all a rather chilly hello from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas! I'm 23, married, into cars, have a dog and a cat, and enjoy long walks on the beach. rofl Seriously though, I've always taken more than a slightly passing interest in CP's, but in the past month or so I decided to do more...

Last spring I had a bunch oif casualties, particularly when I put my butterworts outside and they got drowned in a rainstorm. Most have been replaced already. Some died within a week and some died throughout the year. So..... if anybody happens to have extra plants or leaves they can spare, I'm...

I've been keeping my tropical plants in a closet, under a fluorescent light, 15 hours a day, and many plants think it's June in there. Consequently, several sundews are in various stages of flowering and self-sowing. It's my capensis which are acting like dandelions and I would really like to...

Hello all, My D. capensis growing under fluorescent tubes is getting tall enough that the upright growing leaves are starting to stick to the lights. Is there any problem with this or should I lower the shelf by an inch? I have other plants growing on the same shelf (smaller D. capensises, D...

I spent all of the spring and summer wheelin' and dealin' and replacin'.... and now it is time for me to fill my last order of "newbie kit" and call it a season. Unlike the lab in which I worked, which had ample window sill space and a neglected refigerator (except for someone's beer), I just...

The rest of my plants (Tropical pitchers , butterworts , sundews in terrarium) and outside American sudews and non -tropical sundews ar edoing well here in Kansas. However the VFT just go black after awhile whither and die. Could these be the difficulties? (1) I pretty much top down water all my...

Out of the major CP plants, including VFT's, Sundews, Butterworts, Bladderworts, Asian Pitcher Plants, and American Pitcher Plants, which characteristically takes the longest to recover from shipping shock or a radical change in its environment? And which bounce back the quickest? In my...

I don't have time to list all the details because I'm going out of town in a few mins and I won't be back until Monday night. But I promise that the winner will have the best cp tour they ever had. Lot of vft's, pitcher plants, sundews, butterworts and bladderwort. And if you're nice I'll even...

Howdy, My local Lowe's just got in a new big set-up with CP's- they had VFT's, Dews, butterworts, and several other things. For the time being I got a S. purpurea. I put it outside, and yes, it is pretty weak. I hope it does well! I just though i'd share.

Once again, I was lucky enough to get a spare N. maxima "Gentle" seeds to trade. I have about about 20-30 seeds (I got 3 seed pods) and I'm looking for seeds of Mexican butterworts, or any tropical CP except D. capensis narrow form. Please PM me if you are interested. Thanks.

Today I scarfed up a few plastic trays from Home Depot that were formerly used for displaying rose bushes, wrapped in plastic. Each (15) cell tray has 4 slits for drainage. I fitted a couple of them to plastic storage containers, adding soil media to and placed nearly all of my bladderworts &...

Hello, I have a 2.5 gallon tank that was a Pico reef tank(moved to a 5.5) I've converted it, added dirt , to a terrarium. I have two PC lighting options I was hoping to use. 2x9 watts 2x18 watts Currently the 2x9 has 6500k lights in it and the larger one is still setup for reefs Will the smaller...

I was told a while back that you can never give CPs too much artificial light. Is this true? The reason I ask this is because recently I added another few light fixtures to my collection, so now over each of my 20 gallon tanks I have four 40 watt bulbs, bringing the grand total wattage to 160...

I've completed a 5 gallon tank that I want to make into a sorta southern/south eastern bog. I was thinking of putting in P. caerulea, either P. lutea or P. pumila, and little colony of D. capillaris. Don't worry, I 've already got all the U. subulata I'll ever need. So, I don't have too much to...

Hi, I am new to this forum. I met a couple of people from this forum on another one and they told me about this one. I enjoy growing CPs, and hope my collection will grow soon. I have a small outdoor collection, and some nepenthes in my windowsill, and some tropical butterworts and drosera in a...

Yesterday afternoon, following my son's last class at the community college, and a lunch at Red Lobster, we drove up to East Aurora, NY. The day before I spent a few hours cleaning up my various window sills and counters and finished consolidation / combining the CP collection into a whole mess...

I sent some starter plants to a newbie and was asking how they were doing. I was told that one of the sundews was producing a new leaf, but there wasn't any dew on it. He wanted to increase the humidity to augment dew production and of course I parroted what most of us know about having adequate...

I received a cutting of this plant this summer and it was labeled D. oblogancea. To me, it looks like a butterwort. Someone suggested the possibility of P. oblongiloba. I'm not familiar with either of these plants. I realize that many butterworts look alike and unless there is a flower (which...

I keep the majority of my plants at window sills, mainly the SW ones. The tropical sundews, many of the Utrics, and two types of pings all flower. Under the same conditions, other plants just have no inclination to flower: D. adelae, all Mexican butterworts, and a few Utrics. There have been...
