Hi all,
Recently got into indoor plants; nothing special just a couple of orchids, cacti etc. I want to delve deeper into some more exotic plants and CP's are possible the most intresting to me. I have two main questions though (sorry if they have already been asked) the first being are there...

Wow, it has been a long time since I have been on these forums. My life got pretty crazy for a while, but I still actively grow my carnivorous plants.
So, I experimented with cuttings since I have last been on here, and way more of them survived than I was expecting. So, now I have 8 rooted...
Currently growing "free range" in one of my terraria, I'm getting plants popping up in a number of different places. Figure it might behoove me to try rehoming a few of them before cold weather sets in and makes shipping dicey. On my grow list, one can view my wish list of plants I'd most like...
Tis that time of year and my Byblis are blooming their little heads off and so the harvesting has begun. Not a whole lot of things I'm looking for. That which immediately came to mind can be found on my grow list...
Recently some of my sphagnum moss has started turning bright purple blue and violet. Anyone else have moss like this? I grow under a combo of LEDs and T5 perhaps its a result of that. however this setup is almost 2 years old now and this is the first time I've seen this moss.
Short list so far:
Growing above ground -
Nepenthes x Miranda
Nepenthes x Suki
Nepenthes Lowe's (BBP, labeled ventrata, 9/2017)
Drosera:
D. Binata x Marston Dragon
D. Binata x Marston Dragon (red)
D. Binata x Multifida Extrema
D. Capensis alba
D. Capensis
D. Capensis giant (under testing)...
I've been experimenting with growing Nepenthes hydroponically since March 2015, so for about a year and a half now. I'd like to share my results in this thread, and then give some details about my method. Thanks to TF member knuckles for sharing with me his experiences growing Nepenthes...
New to CPs...

I've never known anyone in the US to grow 'Linda' and it's just as rare to see someone with a khasiana in their collection but it's worth a shot. Anyone with an extra cutting or plant, please shoot me a message and let's see what we can work out!
Thanks!
My mother is having her kitchen remodeled and decided to put in a shelf between the sink and window to grow herbs on. Being as the window is completely shaded, she needs a grow light. The shelf is approximately 1' x 4', but the sticking point is that the light will be mounted 3.5' above the...
Today I potted up a baby VFT "Akai Ryu".
I bought the parent plant from FlyTrapShop.com. It arrived on May 3rd. It started to send up a flower scape soon after it arrived. I cut the scape and tossed it in some live sphagnum on May 28th. On July 23rd, I saw several growth buds appear. Today it...
Hi all,
I've been growing, or at least trying to grow, linearis for about 8-10 years and I can never get them to come out of dormancy in the spring and/or they die during the winter. I've tried outside, in the fridge, and in a unheated garage, no joy. Anybody manage to get these to survive...
1. I have about a dozen or so cuttings of my Nepenthes "graciliflora" (the "smooth alata") available for trade. This is a very easy and vigorous species that can grow as a lowlander and highlander, although it seems to be pretty scarce in the trade right now. I have unrooted 2- and 4-node...
Hi there,
Here is a 4" pot of Utricularia calycifida up for grabs. I may pull a small plug but otherwise there is enough for a couple of good starts. The leaves have stayed small for some reason. Might could divide up a bit if desired. Small priority box, $7.00 postage to you. Do the...
While being able to take a special vacation in the past week, I finally find
a seed pod that I have been hunting for a good number of years.
(Im aware that you can find them for sale online occasionally, but I was just shocked to finally see it in person.)
I read about them many years back...
Hi all,
I grow some drosera capensis Alba, and I've been having trouble getting the light right. I grew them in bright shade for a while, and they had tons of dew but the new growth was about half the size of the older growth. Then I moved them a month and a half ago to full sun. And now they...
Hello!
New to CPs in general and want to start an indoor grow tent! Here to learn things about the plants themselves and hopefully learn from some experienced people and possibly make some friends!
Thanks for having me!
