cape

I know there's a Lowes/Home Depot rescue thread, but I just want to make sure I know what I have with pictures. I was wondering if you could help me ID? I think the spotted one is an S. minor, the veiny one is an S. purpurea sp venosa, the totally green on is an S. flava, and the red small...

I read that some sundews prefer a more sandy medium and some a more peat moss medium. Also the four different sundews I have are mainly forked sundews but I have one tropical and one cape. I was wondering if anyone can tell me the main difference between these four. D Dicatoma Giant, D Capensis...

Looking for Pinguicula planifolia. Preferably with location data. Sundews with location data. Sarracenia minor with location data. Not Sarracenia minor - Long County, GA. This plant does not like to be waterlogged too long. I've lost growth points from this plant twice now because of this. I...

Normally the Armstrong Garden Center near my house has a CP selection limited to VFTs, cape sundews, and S. purp ssp. venosa. Every once in a while, though, they actually have something decent. I've found S. swaniana and S. flava there before. Today I stopped in and they had this little gem in...

So I saw D. madagascariensis available on a certain store recently, and since I was ranter enamored of how it climbs, I figured I'd snag one while they were in stock. Is there anything special I need to know about growing these? Should I treat it just like a Cape Sundew? I hear they really...

Im new to this but ive done a ton of research and so far this is what is in my terrarium. N Ventricosa Red, 3 typical form venus flytraps, 1 red dragon, 1 red pirahna, 1 dente, 1 big mouth, 1 big vigorous, 1 cross haired. 1 cape sundew, 1 staghorn sundew, 1 marshton dragon sundew, 1 forked...

So. My plants WERE doing great on the grow rack in front of the windowsill, until recently. My Adelae and Original plant are doing fine, for the most part: My B. Dichotoma "Giant" does good, until the leaves are about 2-3 weeks old or get too tall, then they shrivel up. (Not shown: The 7...

hi i was wondering i have venus fly trap seeds (Dionaea) and drosera seeds (D. Cape) can i grow these seed with the cobra lilly in the same propagator or is this not able it is a big propagator and they are all in different cells but soon i will put then all in the same soil in the propagator...

I'll give you three choices. You can choose between a trip to a very secluded lake called McKinzie Pond, a relaxing trip down the Lockwood Folly River or you can see if you can survive the Cape Fear River. Mckinzie Pond This is a 6 mile round trip. It starts in a brackish marsh then slowly...

:boogie: Today was my best day so far in growing CP's! :D I received two prime condition sundews from the Flytrap Shop! I only ordered one, but apparently when I got it I saw that there were actually two of them, just growing closely side by side...Boy am I lucky! lol Here they are... <a...

Okay so about a month and a half back, the two Cape Sundews that I had were infected with some damp-off. I used a fungicide to get rid of it, and although it got rid of the fungus, it terribly damaged the plants. Their leaves burned up and one plant shrunk, while sadly, the other died. When I...

This is a spanking-new copy of Adrian Slack’s Insect Eaters: How to Grow and Feed Extraordinary Plants, a recent reissue of his long-out-of-print 1986 classic, Insect-Eating Plants and How to Grow Them, a title which still fetches over a hundred clams or more among collectors -- and has...

I found this article while surfing, and I found it fascinating and I think you will too. This is a plant we don't hear much about. The article itself has pictures of both the plant and its bug. http://www.kew.org/msbp/plantstories/Roridula_dentata.htm

So, figured out this "Macro" thing on my new camera. :) Pygmy D. Scorp.: Pygmy D. pulchella x nitidula: (Not shown: The 60+ gemmae spread throughout that pot) A very unhappy D. Adelae: Cape Sundew Alba + baby: Cape Sundew Typical + baby + weird growth: D. Binata T-Form coming...

Hey guys, just a quick question. I have a few Dionaea, Sarracenia and one cape sundew all growing outside. Where I live, our summers are hot and our winters very cold. (no frost though). Would it be alright for me to leave them outside, thus gaining a natural type of dormancy? Also, how much...

I got a new package of plants yesterday (no pics, but soon!): Drosera adelae Drosera filiformis var. tracyi Drosera binata [T form] Drosera binata [dichotoma 'Giant Form'] I immediately repotted D. adelae into a bigger pot, as it is doing pretty good (although it has much smaller, redder...

I have a complete and total newbie question. I see all kinds of neato crosses between various Sundews, but, I am somewhat new to growing plants, so... I guess my question is, is there a limit as to how far you can cross one? I am not talking about crossing 2 crosses, I know sundew hybrids are...

Hi All, I'm looking to trade for; any Sarracenia purpurea with locality data. I will trade very generously for plants or seed, but only interested in S. purpurea with locality data. Not interested in any other plants at this time. What I have: Drosera hilaris (2 mature plants): D. cistiflora...

I am thinking about picking up one of these, as I hear they're about as tall a Drosera as you can get without going for one of the infamous Tuberous ones (which I doubt I have the experience needed to keep alive). (Although re-reading Savage Garden has me thinking D. dichotoma 'giant' might be...

I have several Cape Sundews -- my first CP purchase was a Cape Sundew (sold as an "Octopus Plant" by Wallgreens) and a Venus Flytrap. I also have a Cape Sundew 'Alba', and 2 baby Cape Sundews from my Monkey Cup's pot -- not sure which Cape is their daddy, I would presume the Typical. Both the...
