Starting new hobby with mostly Sarracenia in my 10ft X 6ft Greenhouse

I apologize in advance if I posted this in the wrong sub-forum. I've mainly drosera, a few byblis and a few pinguiculas. I might be adding nepenthes, flytrap and sarracenia into my collection soon. I've always wanted to get artifical lightings because it's always so cloudy here. Went onto...

I figured that if I wanted to start being more active on terraforums, it would be a good idea to formally introduce myself. My name is Ivan Lacroix and I am 15 years old. I started growing carnivorous plants when I was 11 when I first read a book about cps in my science class. Ever since then my...

I would like to have a pot with a sealed bottom to grow my sundews in. It would be great for two reasons: First, with a sealed bottom, it is cleaner, and with no tray of water separating the pot from the floor, insects can crawl into the pot. I don't have a problem regularly keeping pots well...

Hello Everybody I have been collecting and growing CP's for about a year now and loving everything about these unique and wonderful plants. My collection could best be described as a mixed bag. I am looking forward to meeting fellow cp enthusiasts, doing some buying, trading, giveaways and...

Bonjour I am looking for some contact in FRANCE and in EUROPE to swap some plant , carnivorous or not. jeff

Hi all, My name is Zach. I'm a longtime enthusiast and lurker originally from Chicago. I'm currently studying plant genetics at Cornell, and I'm lucky enough to be close to a Carnivorous plant nursery nearby. My main interests are nepenthes and sundews, but as I'm sure you know the hobby...

I got into CPs while working for the SC Dept. of Natural Resources. My work brought me into contact with carnivorous plants in their natural habitat here in SC. I just become enamored with them. I met a propagator on assignment once and he sent me home with a mini bog garden. I've been growing...

So I'm assuming everybody reading this knows what a "meme" is. If not - google it. I was doing some carnivorous plant research online and stumbled upon this gem. It is NOT mine. I found it hilarious, as I'm also a fan of the movie this clip was taken from (The Big Lebowski)...

Hi Has anyone got some N. robcantleyi pollen available as mine is starting to flower as of mid September 2015. Standard conditions of 50:50 seed sharing after successful pollination. The plant was sourced from Hampshire Carnivorous Plants and is the Queen of Heart x King of Spades cross. My...

I have always bought distilled water from the groceries store to water all my plants up until last year when I got a tds meter and found my tap water was around 70 ppm. However I still use distilled water for pots that have live sphagnum in them since I've read that live sphag is very sensitive...

Aestivation - dormancy or hibernation in response to high temperatures and conditions. Thanks to the recent hot weather some of the pygmy Drosera in my collection have started to form stipule buds or aestivaculae (singular: aestivacula). Here are a few examples in various stages: Drosera...

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for other books to help out with growing carnivorous Plants. I already have the Savage Garden by Peter D' Amato. If anyone has suggestions or a list I would love to hear them.

Among other things, I am an artist, and in addition to the carnivorous plant sketches (in a separate thread here), this is my other main focus: dragons! Many of them are based off images I have found, but a handful are more or less my own creation or rendition. I'll post one at a time, every...

Here are some pictures I took on a recent visit to West Lake Nature Preserve and Bishop's Bog Preserve in Portage, Michigan. I hope you all enjoy them. West Lake Nature Preserve: Cypripedium acaule Drosera rotundifolia Larix laricina Monotropa uniflora Sarracenia...

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, My name is DrNo7 and I am a Research and Developer (R&D) specialist in the field of Biochemistry. I am currently running experiments to use carnivorous plants to create an artificial environment (AE) to grow other rare, and specialized plants. I am an expert...

And I'm not *entirely* sure what I'm doing, but I'm trying! I wanted plants in my room at work, but it has no windows. I ultimately decided on a terrarium with artificial lighting, and carnivorous plants because they always seemed really awesome. 10 gallon terrarium with some sort of tropical...
