cultivation

Hello friends, I'm lacking a couple of things. First, I'd like to grow some s. leucophylla seed. Collected from a leuco field would be ideal! Otherwise, cross-polinated pure seed from nice plants is what I'd be interested in. I really like the species and want to raise a few of my own. Also...

I highly recommend that Pinguicula lover's become familiar with a few websites that have always been invaluable to me: CP Database - Compiled by Jan Schlauer and maintained and operated by Rick Walker. "Pings": Care and Cultivation - By Rick Walker, a page in the CP Database. A World of...

Ok so this is one of those plants I had kind of forgotten that I have always secretly loved. (You guys know what I'm talking about*...) *Right? After a wide search of the all the photofinder pictures of this species, and a quick scan of an old thread it appears that this plant either displays...

Hello all, so word on the street is that Terraforums is trying to put together a CP calender. So to clarify, WE ARE! :-O But we need your help! Pictures Pictures Pictures...

Hi everyone. I got a flowered P. 'Tina' a few days ago and was wondering anyone can provide a general care for this species like light, water, dormancy etc... Greatly Appreciate ur help

Hi all! This is my first post on the forums! Over the months, I've learned most of what I know from snooping on threads on this board. I've been dabbling in CP cultivation since early spring, but recently I got serious about it (read: "got bitten by the bug") and got myself a grow rack and...

Here's my nep alata variegated latest opened pitcher to start the thread off: Yes the pitchers are variegated too! I know there are other variegated plants in cultivation (there's a 3ish year old thread on here about some lovely ramispinas, sibus and rajahs and some others on here) and was...

So last night I discovered this specie online and have become absolutely smitten. It's got to be one of the most beautiful of all dews! It's tuberous, from SW Australia, that much I know. And a quick search online found one ebay listing for seeds of this subspecies. How rare is it in...

So I've been doing some research on this species and I'm very interested in its alpine nature, I was wondering if anyone at TF is successfully growing it, I hear it's fairly difficult. I've already found cultivation threads, I'm just looking for any other useful information. Thanks.

I just picked up my copies of 'Carnivorous Plants and their Habitats Vol. 1 & Vol. 2' a couple of days ago. Once again I am very impressed with the 1442 pages of carnivorous plant genera spread out over the two tomes in this latest offering. Of interest to me was the 34 pages each of text...

I just wanted to share some pictures of this awesome sundew that is little-known and little-grown in the US. The reason I like it is because of it's large size and superior trapping ability--it can catch houseflies with ease :0o: This sundew catches more than a VFT! A forest of them is...

Hello community, My name is Ricardo Miranda and I'm passionate about the cultivation of carnivorous plants. In order to share this admiration, I gathered several Portuguese growers and founded the CPPC - Comunidade Portugesa Plantas Carnívoras (Portuguese Community Carnivorous Plants). I'm a...

Hi, we only found Drosera curviscapa in the Fernkloo Nature Reserve near Hermanus. In cultivation this plant is also known as Drosera sp. "Hermanus" oder Drosera aliciae "Hermanus". Christian

Hi, before switching to the (at least in cultivation) rarer southafrican species (regia, alba, hilaris, ericgreenii, cistiflora and some more) i will show you pictures of Drosera aliciae in habitat. The pictures have all been taken at the Constantia Nek. I will add pictures of other locations...

Hi, i will continue my series of pictures from Southafrica with D. capensis. We found them at three locations: Gifberg, Bains Kloof and Theewaterskloof Dam. In many cases, the plants are growing verticaly on rocks. All locations have in common, that they are very wet! Although, D. capensis can...
