    Help me think of winter solutions...

    I know there are a hundred threads about all the different setups and terrariums, a lot of which have a lot of great ideas and potential. Yet not every set-up is going to work under every condition. Here's the issue I'm going to run into this winter, whether I like it or not, and it may become...

    Intro from Sundewwolf

    Hi everyone. I've only been growing CP's for about 1.5 years now. I signed up for this forum a while ago, and wasn't really active until I heard someone had a thread about hybridizing sundews here. Right now I've got a decent collection of Cp's including a tub of VFT cultivars, sundews(of...

    What to do with lots of spare sundews.\

    Drosera adelae is creating several clones of itself, and a tray full of sphagnum moss had 3 rotundifolia sprout in the past few days, with quite a few more expected to sprout. Dunno where all the seeds are, they just sorta popped up randomly. Anyone want spares once they get larger?

    Algae question

    I recently put most of my pots into a trough system as opposed to saucers but of course when it rains the trough fills up quickly which leads to the top of the plants being flooded. I know that most cps love being flooded but I have noticed some of my sundews being stunted in growth and I see...

    Who else thought that the fireworks last night looked like wolly sundews?!

    Anyone agree. I thought D.paradoxa really resembles them. Maybe I'm way to obsessed with CPs!!!

    Some questions about Neem Oil

    Let me preface this by informing you that I've recently realized I have a thrip infestation of my outdoor Sarr's and VFT's (and my non-cp plants as well). Bearing that in mind, I've started Neem oil treatment on everything. The first question: Is Neem Oil lethal to bees, butterflies, and other...

    S.Purpurea pitcher's small.

    I have a purple pitcher plant in full sun, small tray of water and 3x3x4 inch pot. After it got here, most of the pitchers where dead so I cut it back save one. It put out two new ones since I had it, but they are only half the size of the old one and are green rather than red. Should it be...

    American Cranberry for trade - companion plant for CP's.

    Hello folks. I have 2 starts of American cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) for trade. Here's a picture of the species. It's my first year growing cranberry and it seems to be quite happy alongside my Sarracenia in a peat mix. Both of the starts have roots, and should be enough to start a...

    How to separate sundews.

    I ended up with 3 adelae and one rotundifolia(?) in one rootball. How to you recommend I separate them into different pots to stop them from crowding?

    N. reinwardtiana red - seeds for trade

    Hello everyone. I have 100+ seeds of Nepenthes reinwardtiana red (West Kalimantan) available for trade, possibly more. The seed was harvested on May 22, so it should germinate well. I'm looking for sundews, plants or seeds. I'd really like some temperate sundews such as rotundifolia, capillaris...

    Yo Yo Yo Portlander Oy Oy Oy

    Oy, My name's Carson, I'm 19, and I've been growing CPs for about 14 years. It got really intense when I found a steady stream of them coming from a local nursery. Naturally I went nuts and haven't been cured since. I posted on this forum and others as a less mature middle- and high-schooler. I...

    Help! Dried Sarracenias

    Hey everybody! So I went out of town for 2 weeks with a solemn promise from my boyfriend that he would check my trays for dryness and water them while I was gone, but alas he did not and with what small rain we did receive my plants are looking rough. The vft's and the Sarracenia purpurata are...

    hello!

    In recent years my hobbies have been focused around living wall set ups & growing orchids indoors. About a year ago I acquired two N. alata that were very patient with me while I figured out their care. Then I recently started looking into pings when I developed a gnat problem in my orchid...

    Drosera intermedia seed trade.

    This trade is for D. intermedia seeds. The plant was sold to me labaled as "Hardy Sundew, Drosera intermedia". I have had it for 18 months. It has flowered profusely in that time, frequently dropping seed in the LFS substrate of the terrarium where it lives, resulting in herds of volunteers...

    Article: Elucidating the D.montana complex

    Hello everyone, Here is another call to correct your plant labels! :) A few colleagues and I have just published a 35-page review of the D. montana complex. Like our previous publications on Brazilian sundews, this paper has been decades in the making and it has definitely been the most...

    S. purpurea in Theodore Wirth Park (Minneapolis, MN)

    Took a 10 mile stroll from downtown today to visit this park, which I only recently realized existed (a great personal failing after seven years here). Chief among the attractions is the Quaking Bog, a small naturally occurring sphagnum bog (park literature says it has an estimated age of around...

    Should I try and separate this tangled mess?

    This is my D. Spatulata, looking much better after a week or so in the terrarium, and now I can more clearly see where new growth is coming from. The thing came in a little 2" seedling pot which definitely seems a bit small, but before I consider re-potting, I'd like to know how to go about this...
