I have about half a packet left of seeds from Sarracenia Northwest that are labled as "Sarracenia Hybrid".  I have no clue about what they are, but they're CPs so all is good. I have about half of seeds sitting in the fridge and have no need for the rest of them.  The packet said "100 seeds" so...

what do you guys make of this? they are in 90% humidity, 70+ degrees, and excellent light (all my other plants are thriving, including an itty bitty cape seedling). its driving me crazy, and im starting to worry that my aliciea's flower wont open because its sick or something. i thought it...

I AM SO HAPPY! so, here is what happened, I was on vacation and people were taking care of my cps. But, there was a week of really super hot days and my cape sundew turned black but just yesterday when I got back I saw that they had moved it inside and there was new growth emerging from the stem...

I have a cape sundew that will not flower. I've had it for about 8 yrs when I received it as a stowaway with another plant. It's a beautiful "typical" that has produced many off shoots from the roots, I have about 12 plants all growing together now. I keep it in a "natural" terrarium (no pots)...

It seems that some other forums aren't interested in this offer.  Their loss. I just got an order from Sarr Northwest this week and I love it.  Problem is, this is my first attempt at live sphagnum and since I've put my plans to install a bog garden on hold I seem to find myself with way more...

Duct tape suggested for spacewalk repair AP - Tue Jul 11, 6:52 AM ET CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Even in space, a little duct tape may work wonders. Astronaut Piers Sellers suggested using some of the multipurpose sticky material to fix a safety-jet backpack used during spacewalks after it almost...

Here are some pictures I just snapped during the launch.  We live about 15 miles south of Cape Canaveral. Enjoy -Nick

Just a thought. Apparently, I've read that D. capensis has established itself as a semi-weed in part of CA, crowding out native sundews. Has anyone seen them grow in the wild? If so, why are they still being sold at competitive prices from nurseries? I mean, I can't imagine any market for...

I just decided to post this because I always enjoy looking at how other people's plants are progressing. Hopefully others do too! My Cape Sundews went through a lot the past few months. When I moved in November, I had them away from my window on a tall armoire. I was busy with the new house &...

Can you believe? Some good news. Croatan Game Lands will soon increase by 40 acres I'm sure there are other cp's on this land. I have never found a cp site that vft was the only cp. I'll get to this site this summer and get some pics.

Today, I decided to take some pics of my cape dews. My largest one is making another flower. It made its first one about a month after I got it, then I cut it off. Now, a month later, there is another flower, so I'm just gonna leave it. Here's my plant's little developing flower: And here's...

Today I noticed this little teeny stalk emerging from my clump of U. livida. The funny thing is that my Cape Dew is also sending up a stalk (cept I cut it off). I'll try to get a pic when it opens. It's just in time for Christmas, I guess! -Ben

Hey everyone. I have seen many pics of D. scorpiodes on this forum, and everyone claims they're very easy to grow. Would they thrive in a terrarium with conditions that a cape 'dew is thriving in? Also, what kind of soil mix do they like? And do they appreciate water-logged soil...

Well, I have a 10 gal. terrarium, and before, it had about 56 watts of light, and the humidity would stay around 60%-65%. But, now, I have got 82 watts, and the humidity goes down to 50%-55% or so, so I had to move the glass on the tank to raise the humidity, though it didn't do much, and my...

Hello all, I have a new, very young purpurea (less than 3" across) that was producing new pitchers in July. In the past few weeks, however, I haven't seen a single new pitcher emerge. Some of the older pitchers are slowly turning brown, which I understand is normal. Should the plant still be...

Well, by 'elsewhere i mean new Zealand, when virtually every other plant capable of living is invasive (exaggeration) http://www.doc.govt.nz/Conserv....and.asp "Carnivorous plants introduced from overseas have been found growing in the wild around Auckland, where they pose a threat to native...
