So i've searched this site's threads and many google sites to try and come to a clear consensus on substrates, it doesn't seem there is on (Which is ok! there probably will never be ha!). So this isn't exactly a question about "What substrate should I use", since there are tons of topics devoted...
Giveaway Closed - Seeds: Drosera capensis with interesting genetics
Giveaway is now closed. Thank you to everyone who entered.
I have a package of seeds to give away. The parent plant was grown from D. capensis "Giant" seeds. ( Source: ICPS Seedbank ) The seeds grew into large vigorous plants...
Have been battling with whether getting a Terrarium is worth it for Pings? Im probably going to repot my pings into a more mineral based mix. (Im thinking probably the APS and Terfus, or a Mix of either one of those with Sand).
I actually prefer the look of it (based on what im seeing in other...
Hi All, I've been dealing with an issue for a good bit now and I think one of the two of my D.Spatula plants has just about bit the dust:
First of all my setup:
Lights: Agrobrite 4 bulb/2 foot T5 HO (Amazon.com : Agrobrite T5, FLT28, 2 Foot, 8-Tube Fixture with Included Fluorescent Grow Lights...
So i have to say, there is a lot of conflicting information on Ping dormancy. I've been doing a lot of reading and i've seen everything from "They can survive not going through dormancy" to "Let the PLANTS choose when to do dormancy" to "Change your light/temp/etc... to induce it"
For reference...
So I only recently allowed myself to get back into carnivorous plant cultivation! So my collection is pretty small...

This is what looks like a new division appearing on my P. chilensis. Some of you may have seen this on FB or other forums, but I just wanted to share this, since not many people grow, or even talk about, this Ping.
You can also see some white mold-like substance on the leaf edges and by some...

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone here grows plants from the P. crystallina complex and what conditions you use for them. I'm thinking about picking up a P. megaspilaea, but the info is pretty sparse. Do the species from this complex just grow like normal temperate pings in terms of temps and...
Has anyone grown either of these types? I'm eyeing them at sunbelle exotics. They are beautiful.*

*Grow Carnivorous Plants Volume 1: Venus Flytraps Can Grow Outside...
Howdy y'all! I've been growing CPs for around 5 years now. I browsed through various forums for awhile but this is the first time I've really joined one. I've been interested in horticulture for a long time and mostly grew cacti, succulents, and herbs at first with a few CPs on the side, but now...
I'm wondering what is the best way to grow a Venus Fly Trap in a typical college dorm, preferably on a desk in a pot with a desk lamp. I don't know how much light I'll be able to access from the window and want to cover my bases.
Can anyone recommend a desktop grow lighting solution for my VFT...
Hello,
I managed to grow a few Drosera rotundifolia plants from seed.
They've been doing nicely outside under sheltered sunlight since their sowing (I'm in temperate zone so climate fits their needs), never kept them inside a dome (so that I wouldn't have to worry about mold) but always used...
