    Too late to transplant?

    I got a Red Dragon flytrap from a coworker a few weeks ago. There are two rosettes in the same pot, so I thought I'd take one home for my outdoor mini-bog and leave one for the windowsill at work. Well, I was lazy and didn't divide it and now both rosettes have nice big leaves and are putting up...

    Rebuilding a stolen collection!

    The title says it all! I traded with some of you last year and built an amazing collection of flytrap cultivars. I moved to Indiana in early August, left the plants on a private patio, and returned a week later to find that someone stole everything that was there. Fortunately, I was out of...

    Repotting time I suppose

    I got a few Sarracenias last year for my little tray garden. They did well then of course didn't look so good in winter. I'm not exactly sure what to do now. I know some need to be repotted. The big one in the back with the brown parts is a rubra gulfensis and it's got grass growing out of...

    Advice picking plants for a new terrarium

    It's been a while since I've been around here. I enjoyed dabbling in CPs in the past, throughout the 2000-2007 area, but a combination of economics and my cats forced me to abandon the hobby for a while. I gave my last few CPs to a budding enthusiast some years back. I've been itching to...

    Hello from Michigan

    Hello, I have been growing carnivorous plants for a while now, it was probably 40 years ago when I lost my first Venus flytrap because I was a kid and didn't know they needed a dormancy, our hard tap water probably didn't help either. I'm gonna guess I have been growing nepenthes for 10 years...

    Tea, Anyone?

    Looking at this most excellent webpage, I learned that D. capensis leaves were used to make tea. What is the value of this tea? What other carnivorous plants have uses? I know Pinguicula leaves have been used to curdle milk, and Venus Flytrap bulbs are prized for their supposed medicinal...
