flytraps

So after another year of dry scorching summer drought here in Texas, I've decided to throw in the towel and give up on outdoor temperate plants. I've traded away most of my flytraps but I still have a few 'Fang' and 'Czech Giant' varieties. I'm hoping to trade for any CPs not on my grow list...

Luca wanted to see pics of my overcrowded setup, so I figured I would post them for all to see... Top shelf, has some airplants which are not doing super well... Also some nice big bromeliads in the back... Most of the stuff is in bags, because I don't have a humidifier yet. I should get one...

Hello! Almost all of my plants are doing quite well at this point, so I figured I would take some pics. The coin is for size comparison. It is a Canadian quarter, which is the same size as an American quarter. My dear falconeri, doing very well, and becoming quite large with regular feeding...

Hi, I'm Ang, a lurker, who lives in the Pacific Northwest. I'm a beginner carnivore owner and have been growing since 2010. I have a 10 year old who loves Carnivores. We've made it a tradition that we get two carnivorous plants, which I care for, instead of Easter baskets. I have: two...

Hi, new grower here(no surprise) from the gulf coast of Texas, where its either hot or raining. Not much In between, weather wise. Like most when I was young I owned a small typical VFT. Recently I've gotten back Into the hobby when I officially declared wwr on the flying insect invaders that...

I'm setting up a terrarium for some flytraps, sundews and maybe a pitcher or two in a 20 gallon aquarium. I'm not doing anything incredibly fancy but would like to include a waterfall with a pond fogger at the top. I've made "enclosures" for the water pump, and the fogger and will have those in...

Looking for flytraps that I don't currently grow. Plants I can trade include 'B52' (2 small, one medium) "Crimson Sawtooth" "1955" 'Holland Red' (small to medium) "Fang" "CzECH Giant" "Triffid Traps" 'Bigmouth' (many small) 'Jaws' x "1955" 'Red Pirahna' (large) 'Petite Dragon' 'Jaws' (medium)...

Attending this open house is becoming an annual event for some of us and I am guessing that others in the TF community are aware that it was/is this weekend. For the benefit of those who might not have been able to attend for whatever reasons I wish to have a thread here where pictures can be...

Wanted to share photos of some I've been watching. Two in particular are really pretty flytraps. vft "Big Snap" I've been calling it "Apocalypse". It has traps not quite as large as 'B52' or some of the other big trap varieties but very close. What make it stand out is the plant itself...

So I've had some of my plants for a few years already and I'm starting to wonder how long various perennial species last, especially some of the fast growers like flytraps and smaller sundews. I've done some searches on the subject but I haven't found any definitive answers. So can anyone here...

Someone sent me a group of vfts. The plants of interest below. They were not labeled when sent. I grow hundreds of flytraps. I currently call them "dentate traps" but I enjoy the vfts sent as an unlabeled gift as much as any cultivar if not more. Any ideas on the ID?

I find that my cell phone isn't that smart when it comes to updating my growlist, so I'll be updating it elsewhere tomorrow. In the meantime, I have a pretty large assortment of flytraps available for trade. I'm looking for varieties I don't have. Sundews would be interesting, too. Keep an...

Hello I got into carnivorous plants a few months ago (3?) and am fortunate to live in a great place for it. The tap water here is so good there is no need to buy distilled water. I attended my first meeting of the Bay Area Carnivorous Plant Society recently. At my local nursery I had picked...

So I've got my first mass flowering and I want to propagate some seeds. How can I ensure cross pollination of different Venus Flytraps? Also, I've noticed that my 'Pink Venus' cultivar isn't flowering. I was hoping to cross those with my green flytraps. Are some varieties of flytraps just...

Decapitated flowers...Ruined Purpurea/Psittacina pitchers...Flytraps dug out and left to dry in the sun...Sounds familiar ? I got over it all...But lately this crow pair has taken a new interest in my plants. When I saw them pecking at the psittacina, at first I thought they were just causing...
