A very vigorous grower. Can be easily propagated by cutting a piece off and sticking it in soil. Currently growing in sphagnum but is not at all picky and will grow in most anything. Good houseplant. You will get the one pictured. Shipping is $3 first class, $7 priority, or $24 international...
This is a sample of the Darlingtonia seedlings I have on the go at the moment. These are all a year old and can be clearly seen in a peat mix, not so obvious is that they are over / in a sphagnum lining. I have trays in full sun, part shade, full shade, in with solar pumps and without. The same...
I planted some drosera capensis seeds a week ago and this morning I saw a green speck in the sphagnum.

Does this look like it could be a seedling?
Hello everyone. I was hoping you guys can help out with a few questions I have about my Nepenthes 'Lady Luck'. This is my first nepenthes. I ordered from a guy online, because the pitchers looked a really cool shade of red and this plant is supposed to do well indoors.
Amazon says I ordered it...
I recently repotted all my Nepenthes, the only thing that is making me second guess myself is that I didn't disturb the soil around the roots of the plants I just moved them to bigger pots and new soil around the original clump. The mixture is 70/20/10 of dried Chilean sphagnum moss, peat moss...
So I'm just getting into Nepenthes and other carnivorous plants in my vivariums. My first attempts were growing N.ampullaria from seeds, and growing sundews on a moss drip wall. So far I've had success. Now I have a N.campanulata on order. I'm debating putting it in a terrarium with frogs where...
So I already asked about root shock on another forum, but since I'm new to repotting Drosera (except for a D. capensis, which I probably could have stomped on underfoot and still not have set-back), I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced problems with repotting D. spiralis or other SA...
So I bought organic no fertilizer added sphagnum peat moss from the store and this stuffs good. Was 10$ but damn I only needed it for a few plants and then some. How should I seal this up in trash bag or something? It's enough to pot an army of cp's. Thanks

So I'm using peat/sand/perlite as my medium, my question is would it be better to use live sphagnum for top soil or nah?

Hey, I figured I'd make a pic/vid thread to keep all of my stuff, and track the progress of my plants' and my collection.
As of right now, I'm still in the start-up stage again (I used to grow cp's but took a couple year hiatus for a number of reasons), but I'm working hard on having a decent...
hey all! It's been quite a long time since I have posted anything and quite a lot has happened. I lost most of my already small collection of CPs over the year due to negligence on my part (things just dry up so quickly in hot/dry weather, and my cat likes to drink all the water out of my...
Hi yall, ive been growing cp's for a few years here and there, and since I'm somewhat settled in my current place, I thought I'd set up a more permanent grow shelf. I dragged a free-standing wooden shelf from the backyard to my bedroom's south-facing window, put a few trays of live sphagnum and...
Has anyone managed to revive the chilean sphagnum you can buy at lowes ( better gro type) and have pictures of what it looks like? My strands that I revived are still small and are just starting to branch.
*EDIT*Drosera, Nepenthes, and Orchids for trade
I suppose before winter ends it would be a good time to trade some plants! I'm mainly looking for nepenthes that arent on my grow list or bulbophyllum orchids.
For Trade
.Drosera binata "Marston's Dragon"
.Drosera filiformis Tracyi
.Sarracenia...
Hi! I'm a new member here. I do not keep any carnivorous plants, but I have several other gardening projects.
I wish to build a setup for growing Sphagnum spp. mosses along with a few other acid bog plants in a fish tank enclosure. My current idea is to just to fill the bottom couple of inches...
Hi,
I'm pretty new here!
I bought a bag of soil, and i have dried Sphagnum moss, not live but blocks that swell as crazy when i wet them.
I'm thinking, my Sarracenia which i have had for about 4 weeks seems to be a bit big for it's pot.
Is it ok, or should i repot it into a bigger one, i...
I took this today so I may as well share it here.
This is one of my Cephalotus "Big Boy" plants. This particular one is growing in live sphagnum moss and watered on the tray system. It's kept wet for three seasons of the year.with a couple of inches pf water in the tray. This one is showing a...
Recently, I jumped on a sale of U. Reniformis (though I have not grown any of the orchioides utrics previously). As with any new type of plant, I am overly paranoid and have a few questions that I haven't found answered in the guides here (which I have read religiously). I feel like I'm...
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):

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)...
