    Hello

    Hi everyone, I got into CPs a little over a year ago and have been referencing this and other forums for loads of care information and ideas so I figured it's about time to join in. I grow mostly Nepenthes, but have a few sundews, butterworts, flytraps, a cephalotus and an H. minor. Most of...

I apologize if this has already been posted somewhere or if this isn't the place to post it (moderators please move/remove it if so). Last night I received an email from someone asking if...

    Bog pot creation time.

    I was going to repot a D.Filiformis, S x Dana's Delight and S x Yellow Jacket into a larger bog pot with three venus flytraps and two bog orchids, but I have to wonder if this can be done safely during summer months. I think I can do it without disturbing very many roots, but I just wanted to...

    Looking to get into orchids, any recommendations?

    So my terrarium and outdoor pots look kind of bland, and I've always found orchids interesting. I noticed that they seem to have similar nutrient and soil requirements to CPs, so I was thinking of growing a few with CPs. I was thinking of a crane orchid for venus flytraps and sarracenia, and...

    The Horror...The Horror (of Mutant Flytraps)

    Here here Johnny I must admit that I do chuckle when I see Dr No Traps advertised for around 40€ and described as a must have when all you really need is standard type and a pair of scissors.

    What flytraps cannot trap?

    What flytraps cannot catch food? From what I gather, these cannot catch insects: Wacky traps Korean Melody Shark Any fused tooth traps Any ultra large traps Angel Wings Cup type traps What others have difficulty catching their own food? Some can be fed (and "massaged") in order to use...

    Reminiscenses of a Sarracenia grower

    In about 1968, when I was living in Westminster, California. I was an avid organic gardener, In the back yard, I had an organic vegetable garden, not very large (about 10' x 40'), but it contained a large variety of plants. I had two bee hives atop a grape arbor. I also kept a rooster in one...

    Hello to everyone here! So I'm from Minnesota and I starting collecting CPs a two years ago, I'm still new to all of this. Just to prove to you how new I am, I'll tell you a story.

    Seedling care and odd looking ones.

    I replanted one of my 4-5 month old flytraps from pure LFS where it sprouted into a 50:50 peat/perlite mix, no drainage holes in the pot(old hot sauce container) yet, but the soil was taken from the top of my mixing bowl. Should I put it back under the grow lights where it sprouted until it gets...

    Venus flytrap poaching bill

    Just a heads up - In December the Governor of North Carolina will have the opportunity to sign into law a bill making the act of poaching Venus flytraps a "Class H" felony (punishable of up to 25 months in prison). I've created a Change.org petition so the CP community has a chance to speak...
