I've had multiple people message me on eBay asking if I can ship seeds to France, Brazil, etc... And I hate to tell them no, because it's probably very hard to find viable seeds there unless they know other hobbyists. However, I recall reading that it is illegal to ship Nepenthes seeds...

Heliamphora neblinae 'Avispa' Adult plant with numerous pitchers and growth points. H. neblinae 'Avispa' is a very easy grower, especially for a neblinae variant. However, no heliamphora should be considered a beginner's plants. Proper conditions must be provided for the plant to survive...

Frustration abounds ! I've been searching the world over for a Reducta since I'm into CP's bigtime and can't seem to locate one for sale. Not in the USA anyway. Ironic that the Catopsis grows wild in Florida and I have to send to Europe to buy one. Fast chance of getting it through Customs...

This auction is for a pot of seed-grown N. bongso (there are at least three individuals in this pot). These are about 32 months old now. I have seen sufficient evidence to state that I believe this lot of seedlings (all from one seed pod) is true-to-species, however, I cannot guarantee that...

This auction is for a pair of seed-grown N. jamban. IIRC these are about 18 months old now. I have seen sufficient evidence to state that I believe this lot of seedlings (all from one seed pod) is true-to-species, however, I cannot guarantee that these will be pure, unadulterated (non-hybrid)...

When is the accepted age/size to harden off seedlings? I have a few Nepenthes seedlings that are over an inch and about a year old (some 8 months old, still an inch) and I'm worried that the high humidity and standing water in the terrarium combined with the crud growing in there will give them...

I want to clear out this tank for better stuff so up for grabs is a portion of this weedy unided Utric *very very likely livida* It has been growing in there for years....I have cleared it out many times and it has always found a way back in so keep that in mind. Continental US, no heat packs...

Hello guys, I have activated a "Thank" a post mod. You have limited thanks so please use them wisely. If they get abused as "likes" instead of in topics that actually help and contain great info.. they will be removed and we risk loosing the feature. Anybody that shows indications that they...

I am primarily a lowland grower, but I've been looking into plants to adapt to my windowsill. I was thinking about a truncata, but I think I want to make my last plant-related investment before college to be in a plant that sparked my interest in CPs: N. hamata. There are two places I think I...

I'm moving this Saturday from Atlanta, Georgia to Ithaca, New York for grad school. If I have the time, I would like to set up a mini-bog planter a week or two after the move (either on an apartment balcony, or at the Cornell horticulture complex, where I will be working). I haven't set up a bog...

Greetings all, I am procrastinating right now and avoiding responsibility for just a few more minutes so I thought I would make a list of some of the carnivorous plants I think are best to start with- a long with some comments. This list is meant to be pretty general and is perhaps USA centric...

I took some cuttings today and I'm really wanting them to survive so I thought I would check in with you all about some things. 1) I took some cuttings of veitchii and I was wondering what you guys think on cutting the leaves in half like you would with a lot of other species to help retain...

hey everyone, i am doing lots of spring re-potting these days so i wanted to show you how i do my drosophyllum. all my plants are about 14 months old. however some of them have remained small due to their small pot size and the one with the largest root space has not only dwarfed them but put...

In an attempt to clone my now vigorous flytrap, I took a leaf cutting, since it's just the beginning of spring, it's still cold here in northern Ohio, and I don't want to risk my plant, especially since I just discovered that it's beginning to divide. How am I supposed to take care of a leaf...

I would like to ask for opinions concerning an overseas CP seller but would be violating forum rules if I attempt to add the name of the seller so you can PM me to get the name and respond. The CPUK group has good things to say and mentioned that the plants are smallish which doesn't bother me...
