droseras

Greetings. I'm starting a new carnivorous plant terrarium this week. I don't have any pictures yet, but I'll give you a preview of what it will have by the end of the week: 20 gallon terrarium 125watt CFL greenhouse style terrarium At least 6 different Pinguiculas (Lutea, Caerulea, Agnata...

Since Droseras have become my main point of focus lately, I figured I'd start a new pic thread dedicated just to them. Enjoy.. D. villosa var. ascendens (Serra de Ponta Grossa, Campo Largo ~ Parana, Brazil) seedlings!! I've also got germination with D. oblanceolata (Sunset Peak, Hong Kong)...

Enjoy the pics! ;) I still need to get rid of these plants :D, anyone wants to negotiate, they are Droseras spatulatas, and the larger ones that appear to look like d. capensis alba are d. albino, if you are interested send me a PM and we can arrange that! ;) Look at all these plants I really...

Still going to use this for droseras.. but I decided to use it mainly for cephs. Had to repot one, started using live LFS heads as top dressing, and just went nuts. I'll just add the dews later in the fall. Added a few ivy cuttings as well. In due time, this tank will be looking good. Sorry...

I recently received a Venus Flytrap and Drosera Spatulata in the mail. They both came pretty banged up. I left them in a bowl of distilled water for about two days, and transplanted both the drosera and flytrap in a clay pot (two separate pots) using only long fiber sphagnum moss. A few...

Greetings. I have an indoor terrarium with grow lights. It's a ten gallon terrarium with grow lights on the top. I leave the grow lights slightly off center so I have an 1.5'' gap at the top for air circulation. I have a thermometer inside the terrarium and it says it's about 90f inside. So...

I wanted to share a couple pics of my newly completed bog bench [click either image to enlarge] : The main bench is about 4 x 16 feet, with the growing area being about 2 x 10. The planter bog is lined with EPDM pond liner and is about 9 inches deep. (In retrospect about 7 deep would have...

Hey all can I use coco coir for vft and droseras or would this not work ?

I have an 8" seed grown N. x splendiana x (x tiveyi x veitchii) for trade. Still looking for droseras, but I'll add cephalotus to the interest list. Stocked up on typicals atm, but I'll consider it if they are colorful. PM me if your interested. . Acclimated and growing well in HL conditions.

And here's how it ended up: d. ruby slippers: S. X catesbaei: Fused Tooth: VFT in all silica sand: A red robust postrate VFT: Another VFT: S, purpurea with millions of ants: P. moctezumae throwing flower stalk: D. spatulata pink flower: VFT shark's teeth...

Don't know what kind.. the entire pot needs to go. Make an offer.. mostly interested in nicer droseras, but whatever goes.

TF members, A few pics of my vft dutch being pollinated by a big bee, oh and some of flowers were pollinated by me with a Akay Ryu, so the bee came a bit late, but there were other flowers that were opened so hopefully the bee pollinated them! VFT jaws: VFT FTS Crimson...

I may or may not put up a photo due to the place this one is growing, taking pics can be a real pain. There will be atleast 2 plants 1" in size, shipped bareroot. If the bids get high enough I may add more Drosera's species. Continental US only, and we will cover the shipping. Bidding starts...

TF members! I'm looking specifically for this species, but if you have any other offer, let me know. I'm accepting seeds, plants, cuttings, anything that will keep growing. Why these species? they are simply native CP's of north carolina, and just thought about getting them, perhaps my next...

TF members, Some pics of my vft's doing great receiving direct sunlight for their first time, some of them are used to it, others get filtered sun while the last clouds of winter leaves, a few more weeks and they should be ready to go outside to enjoy the full perfect sun that makes our plants...

I just dumped a pot because it got covered with a mix of mold and algae and some other green c@#&. It looked like this but 100x worse, with dark green dry patches and fluffy white mold everywhere: It was one of my first pots and I did not wash and microwave the peat : perlite mix that it...

I have some pitcher plant seedlings that i am growing indoors and since it is really warm i thought i might put them outside so would it be the right time with this forcast...

As Y'all know, I am new to this wonderful "hobby". I want to start slowly and knowledgeably. What are the best beginners to intermediate books on the Drosera's to purchase. I would like to learn how to grow from seed as well as advanced care for the plants. After seeing the many varieties of...
