Drosera binata var multifida f. extrema
These die back to the roots for me in the cool winters of Southern California but have resumed growth several weeks ago. Depending on your climate or growing conditions (indoors or greenhouse) they can grow all year round and do not require dormancy...
Hello! I've always been an orchid aficionado, and
started growing them in earnest up here in NYC about 8 months ago.
The Orchid Board led me here, and I've been buying CPs over the past month or so.
Of course I had my odd Venus Flytrap sold in a little plastic box when I was a kid, but like...
Hey all,
So I have a bunch of OP Sarracenia seedlings. I'm putting up 20-30 Sarracenia plants. These are all OP seedlings that range from 1-2 years old and come from a variety of great growers and collections (including my own) so you're sure to get a great variety of plants. Because of the age...
One question that comes up now and then by new members is how to embed photos into their posts. It is certainly more stunning visually to include photos in a message rather then just a link to the images. Here is a short illustrated guide.
First you need an account on an image hosting site...
One thing I'm always curious about is how everyone else grows their plants. I've only been collecting for a little while, so I've been sort of figuring it out as I go along. Let's see what you've got! Post a picture if possible, describe your lighting, any temperature regulation, where the stuff...
Alright, group, I have a question. I am going to experiment with planting a Darlingtonia or two in a polystyrene cooler. It is a quality, 2-inch-thick-walled box used to ship temperature sensitive medicine. Just guessing, it has a potting space of 8" by 10" by 6". My logic says this will keep...
Hi Folks,
My name is Rich and I'm from Upstate New York (Zone 5b). I'm 25 yrs old and working within the field of Mental Health. I've been into carnivorous plants for some time now, but never had an opportunity to get involved in the hobby. I've been doing loads of research; both online and...
I waited all winter for a store to stock the kiddie pools everyone uses for sarracenia. I was more than excited when I saw them at walmart on my way home yesterday. Had a heck of a time getting the sucker in my car. I've been wanting to get my sarrs out of the Tupperware containers they have...
My "sunken bed" under construction. I am going to begin collecting and breeding Sarracenia on a massive level. I'll also be
producing some seeds for the ICPS from this. So much empty space...

I have for trade one seed-grown N. talangensis x hamata. This plant has been quite faithful to me. It always seems to have two or three, sometimes four or five pitchers on it at a time. Despite its small size it is not actually that young. I purchased it the better part of two years ago and it...
I have decided to potentially part with a Nepenthes x Wrigleyana to make more room. I am interested in trading for Sarracenia; I have lots of grow space for the them and little grow space for Nepenthes.
I received this particular plant from Christian James last year. It has grown well with...
Something I'm been wanting to do for years and with the current state of LED lighting I think it might now be possible.
I'm looking to grow a small colony of Brocchinia reducta indoors under LED lighting, I've never grown this plant before but have experience with hundreds of species of...
I have a few Nepenethes around my house (ventricosa, alata, other typicals) and I feel like I have to water them too much due to drying out. Whether it is because I am spoiled on the ease of my proportionally larger and less time consuming Sarracenia collection or something else, I find watering...
I have some a few extra pots laying around that measure 16 inches across by 11 inches deep. I have about 9 sarracenia I was wondering of I could save some space amd do groups of 3 plantings In each of the pots. Curious about the cons if any
I'm looking for a good single species to display in the setup below it. The temps for this one will be in the 65-75 range year and will not get any dormancy. I'm wanting to allow for space for flowers so a keep the stalk height in mind. Lighting will be provided by some LEDs I figure, so...
I don't grow in a greenhouse per say. Since 90% of my plants are temperate and I live in zone 6b/7, I just use my greenhouse for dormancy; you know, mostly just keeping the windchill off my little darlings. The last couple seasons this has been achieved with a little pop-up greenhouse that has...
This was my first attempt in bringing two plants that naturally grow together in the wild, together in my grow space. I am liking the look and might try a larger setup in the future! I was intrigued with the thought and I obtained the drosera with this type of setup in mind
What do you think?
Axelrod's CPs
Ok new thread, and I'm going to try to confine my questions and stuff to here now that I feel like I might be starting to get the hang of things...a little.

See something on my growlist that you want? Anything with a star on my growlist means I have a division available. Have something that you think I may be interested in and are willing to spare? Then just hit me up. US trades only please. I'm interested in...

I am running low on space so need to liquidate before i can add more. I am looking for lowlanders/lowland tolerant hybrids and can offer 1 of the 2 depending on your preference.....they are the popular MT clones and have been acclimated. If you google it, you will see a pic of what the pitchers...
