Here's my updated "Grow List", although mostly nepenthes. I do have many other exotic non cp related plants. I can list those when trading.

Hello all,
Just recently joined the forum, though I've been lurking for a while. Started growing cps about a year ago, and now have a set of Nepenthes and am putting in an in ground bog for VFT, sarricenia, and sundews. I'm located about fifteen miles north of Miami.
Thanks!
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...
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...
I bought a kit from that big name home improvement store that sells kits in death cubes. It came with a sarr and a VFT, or to be more precise, a big clump of rhizomes with a twisted mess of a small FVT growing from it. I planted it and hoped for the best that somewhere in the mess a sarr rhizome...
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:

While photographing Drosera petiolaris last week I found a couple of plants with some seriously mutated flowers with a mess of tentacles all mixed in with the other flower parts.
Some weren't too bad but have a look at this one in particular:

New England has had a few hot days recently, but I didn't think much of it until today. I looked at the bog tray and saw a forked leaf sundew unfurling a pair of new leaves. One of my VFTs appears to be doing the same. I cracked open a window and the room rapidly dropped to a reasonable dormancy...
Some mixed-seed VFT babies spending winter outside due to space issues in the garage. They seem to be doing well in the cold temps with overnight temps in the 20’s at times. Temps always warm up above freezing during the day though. The second pic is of the tray after the snow melted off the...
Hello! You will find that bare root VFTs are on sale through Wednesday 12/2/2015! It may extend past that, but no promises, so you if you want some, get some! (Typical and 'Dentate Traps not included)
They are about as dormant as they get in my care, here are VFT 'Akai Ryu' as an example of...
So I was at Lowes today and they had this guy in the far back inside, in the dark. I felt bad for it so I decided to buy it. What kind is it and why is it lying down like that? its inside under my lights and I watered it with distilled water of course. It 70 in my house and the lights are the...
Ok...someone here was nice enough to trade me some non cp seeds for some cp seeds. im a noob if you don't know. I only have a couple neps and a purp. He sent me some sundew seeds and I really want this to work. He sent drosera intermedia, d spatulata (it looks like he wrote Beenak Victoria s...
I'm going to "break this down" into several posts to make it easier to manage as the list evolves. This is mostly information for my personal reference...I'm starting with one VFT as my only CP, so there's hardly anything tradeworthy here unless you're into succulents or houseplants.
It's a...
Hello, my name is Nick :)
I live in Richmond, Michigan. I currently have a small indoor greenhouse rigged with lights and a homemade humidifier for Nepenthes and any other tropical cp's I find to like, along with a couple cacti. I have a few sarracenia/temperate sundews/VFT's that are going...

I mostly lurk around gushing over everyone elses wonderful plants dreaming that someday my own little baby plants will soon be just as gush worthy. I will ad a few of my plants in this thread.. My VFT collection is mostly already posted in my thread in the VFT section on here so maybe ill post...
Hey guys,
Long time no see! So, I had originally planned to pull my VFTs out of my terrarium for their dormancy, but (and please correct me if I'm wrong) They seem to be starting their dormancy already. I'll post pics of the plant that is furthest along in what I think it's doing, later. I'll...
