Hi, Ordered Venusplant Seed from ebay and they looked like the black seeds which i have seen on pictures, o drowned them in distilled water a couple of days and into a pot with special soil, and they sprouted to my smiling surprise. But i also ordered pitcher plants from banggood, which seeds...

Hello, My name is Chris Duncan and I have been growing carnivorous plants for 5 years now. After a few deaths with the recent horrible winters I have actually gotten good at this. So far I have tried my hand at Flytraps, Nepenthes (lowland, highland, and hybrids), sarracenia, drosera(only...

Hi guys. N. ampullaria is one of my favorites plants but sadly, I can't get it to germinate. I've bought seeds from different sellers on ebay with no luck. I was wondering, what's the normal germination time for ampullaria? For example: I recieved rafflesiana and ampullaria seeds the 3 of...

As more of my Drosophyllum lusitanicum seeds sprout, I noticed that one of them has only a single sticky leaf and figured some of you guys might want to hear about it. I'll keep tabs on it as it grows to see what it does differently.

So last long weekend I decided to plant a whole bunch of seeds, mixed sundews including capes, tokaiensis, aliciae, omissa, burmannii, filiformis, dreamsicle, some vft seeds and utricularia as well. Today I was inspecting each pot individually and I noticed on the vft seeds at the very tip of...

I have a lot of drosera binata and drosera capensis alba form if anyone is interested! Thanks you guys are awesome. I'm really just looking for any seeds anyone has. I really just want to pass these on to someone who will want them so I don't waste them as I have about 80 binatas growing.

Sarracenia "Leah Wilkerson" Current seeds: Sarracenia Flava Rubricorpora S. Leah Wilkerson X Leah Wilkerson

Hey, guys. Rather than post for each individual plant, or every time I have/want something new, I figured doing all of my trading in one the place would make things easier to keep track of, for everybody. Haves: Dionaea Muscipula (Venus Flytraps): "FTS Crimson Sawtooth" Drosera (Sundews): D...

Okay, so now that I think I've got the hang of VFT care, I want to try and grow some from seed. So naturally, I have a few questions. I know they need humidity and heat, which we have plenty of around here in the summer time. Since it isn't summertime here, can I just create the conditions...

Hi, I have two flower spikes coming in on my N. truncata and am looking for suitable recipients. The spikes are just forming, so it will probably be at least a month before pollen is ready, but I figure it is best to arrange a match as early as possible. I am not terribly picky about the match...

Some years back I saw a short article in the Carnivorous Plant Newsletter where a grower was describing how they had taken some of the plantlets that are often formed on the old flower stalks of Drosophyllum lusitanicum and rooted them into new plants. However, it seems no one I have heard from...

Hi there. After a pause of almost 10 years in growing CP (new jobs, moving abroad, etc) I'm finally starting again slowly. For now I'm filling a homemade greenhouse in a plastic box (fitted with leds lights) and also growing a Sarracenia outside. After one year it still alive so I think that I...

After a long pause growing plants I recently started againin January 2016. Hopefully the spring will allow me to ramp up slowly and see what species I can grow outside without much trouble. Darlingtonia - D. californica Dionaea - D. muscipula typical form Seeds - D. muscipula (sprouted)...

Hi, My name is Ulf and i live in Uppsala, Sweden a few miles north of Stockholm. I'm 41 years old and live in a house with my wife, 10 year old kid and a rabbit. I've found myself here to perhaps get some help with my new seeds i've planted and the plants i've bought pregrown so i'll read...

Today I began an experiment with D. adelae and what they do when they're polyploid. For those that don't know, polyploidy is when an organism has more than the usual number of chromosome sets, such as twice as many, four times, etc. For this experiment, adelae root cuttings were exposed to .1%...

I will have some pollen in the future, as my Eldon Lee is flowering again. This is one of Bruce Bednar's personal creations. Same as always, Ill send you the pollen, you send back half the seeds. EDIT: exact parentage: ([Kampotiana x Maxima]x[Northiana x Maxima]) x (Alata x Khasiana)-fwew...

Hi everyone! I found a listing for N. Tenax seeds this week and i've been toying with the idea of getting some. Does anyone grow these? Are they very hard to grow? Would they be ok for a windowsill type environment? Here's the link if you want to see what im talking about...

So I don't have a lot, but i'm super proud of my plants. I talk to them and tell them they are doing good. They seem to like it. Here it is: Outdoor: I have four S. purpureas, a couple i lost the tags for, so at this point i call them all purpureas. I have a S. Red throat, a couple Luecophylla...

I have tons of these! I didn't think this many would germinate out of the 100 or so seeds I got. <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/132211299@N05/23612443684" title="mimosa pudica"><img src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1719/23612443684_b7e1d9493a_z.jpg"...
