    Has anyone ever used pheonix worms to feed their nepenthes?

    Last year I used to culture d. hydei for my cp's but the job was very tedious and eventually a native fruit fly contaminated my culture. However the results I had were very good and I want to continue to feed my plants and pick up where I left off but with a larger insect. Eventually I came...

    Quick Dormancy Question~

    Hello! I recently just got back into CP's, and got a Venus Fly Trap about two months ago, among others. I realize it is now time for it to go into a dormancy period, but I was wondering if the fridge method was necessary in my case? I live in NorCal, Santa Clara area, and the temperature during...

    Alien with no dormancy?

    I read that Venus Fly Trap 'Alien' "is a year-round low growing plant". In other words, it has no dormancy. Is that true? Are their any varieties that lack a dormancy?

    Hello all, I used to have a few CP but it's been a long time since I've kept any. I've recently had some fruit fly problems and the idea of CPs catching all the flies was all the excuse I needed to get back into keeping CPs! I still haven't got any yet, but I hope to change that soon! I've...

    I know vft's can not be left out in freezing weather. My problem is I have no place to put them in the winter where they would get the temp and light needed to hibernate.
