    I feel like a Newb again.

    2 years is longer than it seems! It is even long enough to forget EVERYTHING I once knew about CP and make D. capensis challenging again. Well okay maybe not everything. I knew it was a "Cape sundew" when I saw the poor neglected little dew sitting in a tray of calcium encrusted tap water in...

    My first terrarium(Dial up users beware!)

    My first terrarium I made was from a ten gallon aquarium.I put alot of thought into ventilation and humidity,I'm glad I did because I rarely have problems with mold (seedlings) and I never have to mist my tank. Here are some photos of how I made the lighthood. I stained the peice of wood...

    I recently ordered 1000 cape sundew seeds. I want to breed them and sell them. (or maybe grow them in mah ears) What do you think I should do with the rest? Oh, and by the way, should I use sphagnum peat moss/perlite, or sphagnum moss/sand? I''m thinking of making a jungle of sundews.:-D And...

    Hello to all from Southern California!

    I just got on here today. So far I don't see too many people on here but it could also be cause it's a Friday. Feel free to send me a message! I have around twenty or so plants and I'm totally crazy about them. I can't wait for February when they've had a good sleep and are about to wake up so...

    Capensis flower spike

    I have a cape sundew in flower and there are two flower spikes on the same plant. The second spike is about 1in tall. Do I need to cut the small one off or let it flower?

    Leaf tips turning brown... why?

    I've only had my cape sundews for a couple months, and heck I thought these were the easiest. :) They (one narrow leaf and one red) have been doing what I thought was great until recently. The tips of some leaves are starting to go brown and then dry. This is even affecting leaves that haven't...

    Pygmy Sundew - D. scorpiodes #1 (Winner Not a Number) $5

    I'm offering up 2-3 seedling D. scorpiodes. This is a very attractive sundew. It is known as the giant of the pygmy sundew world. When mature the plants stand about 2 1/2 inches high. They grow outside as easy as any cape sundew and propagate easily with large gemmae. They also produce lovely...

    Trade RO Unit for Plants?

    Is there anybody that would be interested in trading a comperable assortment of CPs for a brand new, in-the-box Kenmore Reverse Osmosis Unit? I wanted to test the waters (no pun intended) before pulling the ebay auction for the unit. The sticker price is $229 so I'd expect more than a cape...

    outside Drosera capensis?

    Quick(and possibly stupid) question, Is it possible to grow a cape sundew outside? Everything I read tells me it's a windowsill/terrarium/greenhouse plant. Just curious... note: I do live in mild-wintered, magma-hot-summered houston

    my plan

    im thinking about growing vfts, cape sundews and roundleaf sundews. i am aware that the roundleafs can be found in bogs throughout my province, so i think it would be best to grow them outside. and i think the capes and vfts should be grown indoors. since many of you have more experience than i...

    Question about humidity....

    Ok, I'm posting this here because it seems to be the most pertinant section of the site. I'm a bit confused about humidity levels for my plants. I've read several different things, some seem to imply an enclosure for the plants, like a 2liter bottle with the top cut off placed upside down over...

    Starting off fresh(CPs that I want)

    Ok if I bought some cps then I think I would have a better chance because I know alot about them now. I am planning to get venus fly traps and d. capensis. The problem is, is that I never saw a cape sundew in a store before. I asked but they didnt know what I was talking about and they just...
