carnivorous

Hello, My name is Chris Duncan and I have been growing carnivorous plants for 5 years now. After a few deaths with the recent horrible winters I have actually gotten good at this. So far I have tried my hand at Flytraps, Nepenthes (lowland, highland, and hybrids), sarracenia, drosera(only...

Hi! My name is Cyrus and I am so happy to be a member of this forum, since I was about 5 I have had a massive interest in carnivorous plants. Now ten years later I have a walk in greenhouse and more plants than I can count😂. So far I am looking to expand my Nepenthes collection and kinda drift...

Hi! I'm a new member here. I do not keep any carnivorous plants, but I have several other gardening projects. I wish to build a setup for growing Sphagnum spp. mosses along with a few other acid bog plants in a fish tank enclosure. My current idea is to just to fill the bottom couple of inches...

Hi everyone, My friends and I are working on a grow box that you can command remotely with an app. Originally, we created the box for all type of plants. We are now wondering if we go further with special plants. As you guys are expert in carnivorous plants, we’d love to hear your precious...

I have several 6"-8" wide rooted Nepenthes Alata plants. They all have nice pitchers on them and are in great health. The colors on these are super variable with some being almost all red while others are mostly green. Grown in my greenhouse in central FL. I am interested in most if not all...

Hi everyone, I'm Vivi and I live in Belgium. I'm working on an automated grow box and I'd like to try to grow some carnivorous plants in it to see if it can help growing those fascinating plants at my home :D As I've never grown any carnivorous plants before, I don't know much about them...

Some years back I saw a short article in the Carnivorous Plant Newsletter where a grower was describing how they had taken some of the plantlets that are often formed on the old flower stalks of Drosophyllum lusitanicum and rooted them into new plants. However, it seems no one I have heard from...

Note: I did get permission from Andrew to post this. There is a new carnivorous plant book coming out this spring, “The Sinister Beauty of Carnivorous Plants” by Matthew Kaelin. From Matthew: “The book has many beautiful photographs and excellent reference material for a great merging of art...

Disclaimer: I already posted this on FB, so some of you may have already seen this...apologies in advance for the very poor photo quality. One of my Drosera regia seedlings is doing something very odd - it seems to have grown 2 carnivorous stalked glands on the single cotyledon it has. The...

What's a brand of fungicide for grey fugue that is safe for all carnivorous plants? Preferably one I can pick up at Lowe's. thank you

I went to my local indoor garden shop. You know, the kind where they help you grow "tomatoes" indoors. I told their plant person I'm growing carnivorous plants and he directed me to their Sunshine Mix #4. It says it only contains peat, perlite, and a pH adjuster (to 6.5). Has anyone tried...

While photographing Drosera petiolaris last week I found a couple of plants with some seriously mutated flowers with a mess of tentacles all mixed in with the other flower parts. Some weren't too bad but have a look at this one in particular: I noticed a post in the VFT forum about a mutant...

Hi all, I have a terrarium in my room containing a mixture of carnivorous plants. Recently the ants invaded the house and a few found my Nepenthes, now the pitchers are full of ants! When there was only a few I didn't mind, however their numbers are increasing. The pitchers are regularly...

A garden requires patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intensions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them. I have been growing carnivorous plants since 2013. My goal is to one day obtain a carnivorous plant garden with a...

Here's an interesting read. Sorry if this has already been posted. Looks like it's mostly about Nepenthes. Animals need carnivorous plants! News flash: Animals need carnivorous plants! | IUCN Red List 50

I keep several pots of carnivorous plants in the growth chambers at work to trap fungus gnats. They do a decent job of keeping the population in check and reduce the need for pesticides. Anyways, I checked in on the plants today and saw that the Drosera filiformis had gone dormant. This was a...
