butterworts

do u take care of butterworts just like vfts?

if a venus flytrap is well cared for, how long can you expect it to live? what about the other cp's (butterworts, sundews, etc) for that matter?

After reading a post here about propagating Sundews and Butterworts aquatically, I decided to try something similar myself. I put a P. Primulifora(seedling), 2 D. Muscipula(seedlings), and 2 D. Adelae(leaves) in a glass of water(covered) next to my propagating trays under bright florescent...

Premise 1) Sundews are found on several continents. Premise 2) There are critters that occupy the same niche in different locations, with similar appendages but are not related. Premise 3) There are critters that are related but don't look similar and don't occupy the same niche (horseshoe crabs...

I've been to a few places that sell CP's - Lowes, Home Depot, and a local nursery - and have purchased a sampling of each plant available: VFT, P. primuliflora, D. adelae, D. spatulata, S. purpurea, S. rubra, N. ventricosa(?), and a Cobra Lily. That's all that I see out there. With all the...

Hi all, Is it a good idea to keep a few giant centipedes in a tank with carnivorous plants (nepenthes, byblis linifolia, Mexican butterworts, cephalotus, ect.), can any of the plants harm the centipedes or the centipede hurt the plants? Does anyone keep centipedes or any other animal in with...

Hi! I got into carnivorous plants fairly recently. I bought a VFT and general carnivores collection from Exotic Gardens. I was trying to make up for killing several VFTs as a kid. Looking back, they made me do it. This was long before the internet. The instructions actually suggested feeding...

I am having a bit of trouble decoding the whole watering table for some cps. I know this will sound weird to most, but the vfts I have are turning brown to black and dying off. I have consulted The Savage Garden, on watering, (Peter D'amato mentions keeping an inch of water in the tray...

I have found a place that offers Butterworts and Bladderworts at a very good price, the problem is they only have them as bareroots. Are bareroot plants a big risk? or do they survive transport just as well as potted plants? Is there any special treatment that bareroot plants need once they...

One day my brother told me that he thinks there are some cp's on his land. I asked him what kind, he said he didn't know. I wasn't able to go see them at that time because I'm currently living in another state. I went home in March 2002 and I made it a point to go see what he had. I got to his...

Hi, I'm completely new to cp's. My hubby has been on a business trip and just informed me that he is bringing some home: butterworts, purple pitchers, sundews, venus fly traps and cobra lilies. We live in S. Florida and I checked out all the care sheets. We have high humidity here which is...

Thinking that all the CP family that have more than one species have hybrids (Nepenthes, Heliamphora, Sarracenia, Drosea, Butterworts). How come bladderworts does not have any hybrids?

all my plants are in a greenhouse and I feed them with dried insects . whats wrong , the food turns to fungus , it happens with my vfts , my sarrs , my sundews , cobra lily , and my butterworts . whats causing this , whats do i do ?

Yea, I just bought a butterwort from franks nursery. I was wondering what is the proper way to water them, do they need the plastic cover that came with them to remain on like my sundew? Or can I just fill the tray hes sitting on with distilled? Oh and about feeding him bugs and stuff? I just...

Do butterworts need the dormancy? If I don't give it the proper dormancy, will it die out?
