Hi! I just joined this weekend. I'm very new to carnivorous plants, but my journey with them started years ago. I have a koi pond, and while shopping for bog plants years ago I discovered this crazy looking thing labeled "pitcher plant." The only thing the label said was keep moist and give lots...
I started doing TC about 2 years ago from seeds I got on ebay. Now I'm overrun with babyfood jars of nepenthes and sundews
each jar has many plants at least 20 for the nepenthes and probably 50+ sundews. N. "King Tiger" x mirabilis "Kuraburi" and Drosera spatulata. They are all small but could...
These are the first flowers i've been able to get good photos of from these plants..
This "oblanceolata" was purchased from CZ plants.. Looking at photos online of flowers, some are white with smooth rounded petals, others are pinkish with the slightly jagged edged petals, and some are a mix...
Awhile back I was given a hybrid sundew - a plant I hadn't really thought much about growing. It has become a favorite since and I am wondering what other cool hybrid Drosera people are growing. I'm guessing others might be interested as well. So here is a thread for posting pictures of your...
Unfortunately I don't have many plants to take photos of. Oh well.
I'll update this thread periodically whenever something neat happens.
A lovely Sarracenia leucophylla 'Tarnok' pitcher that's grown to be over a foot tall. It hasn't quite finished opening yet.

I have been focused on Dionaea and Sarracenia over the past several years, but have had several D. capensis for two years or so; I grew them from seed. Now I am expecting seeds for many new species of Drosera, and I am wondering the best approach to growing these puppies to fruition. The...
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...
Hey forum,
I decided to compile my minuscule collection into a list. :)
Sarracenia
S. flava
S. leucophylla
S. purpurea ssp. venosa
S. rubra ssp. gulfensis "Ancestral" x S. rubra ssp. gulfensis
S. rubra ssp. rubra
S. catesbaei
S. x readdi
Various unidentified seedlings!
Dionaea
D. muscipula...
This happens with almost all my Drosera except my pygmies.
Scenario 1:
I put any Drosera in a tray of distilled water... This has been done with multiple container colors, sizes, ect. I fill it up to almost the top of the container and I either keep it at that level, usually over an inch below...
I grew out some seeds I received labeled D. sp "South Africa" that have recently flowered and produced some seed pods.
The only other Drosera that had open flowers at around the same time was D. spatulata 'Tamlin', but I cannot for the life of me remember if both had flowers open at the same...
Picked this up recently and thought it was something else entirely. It is now starting to take an upward growth habit to the leaves which kind of resemble the long arm form of capilaris. It also has the narrow petioles of something like nidiformis. There are hairy stipules along the margin of...

I'm currently aware that the experts who could refute, comment, or otherwise answer this inquiry are generally unavailable.
Namely Tamlin Dawnstar, Barry Rice, and Aaron May (sundewman).
I've come across conflicting information regarding forms and cultivars of Drosera spatulata. Supposedly...
My Drosera spatulata that I have owned for now a month clearly has more than one plant in the pot. However, it might not have had enough time to recover from the nursery. I know the proper soil mix to use for carnivorous plants, so should I separate the plants, and if so, at what time? :confused:
My Drosera spatulata that I bought has now been in my possession for about a month. When I purchased it from my local nursery, it already had a wilted flower stalk, which I would assume will impact its future health. Now, after two weeks of my (hopefully) wonderful care, it's beginning to...
Echeveria 'Lipstick'
Drosera roseana gemmae, thanks for the pack of gemmae, Wireman:D
Pinguicula moctezumae x gigantea from Crissytal/Crystal
Pinguicula 'weser'??? from Crissytal (Is it a P. 'Weser?)
Pinguicula agnata 'True Blue' from Crissytal (My first Mexican ping:) )...
As my title says, hi. I'm kind of new to this but I'm hoping that I'll figure it out. I'm a bit of a novice grower with three plants: Drosera spatulata, Dionaea muscipula, and Pinguicula primuliflora. I'd appreciate any tips you might have! :D Thanks in advance.
