Earlier this year I bought and planted a cupped trap VFT in the large bog. It died back and due to various health reasons the bogs have been slightly neglected, I just spent some time cleaning them out and found a small grouping of VFT's clumping less than 2" x 2" near where the cupped traps...
All the sphagnum in my bog keeps trying to eat my venus flytraps and sundews. The Sarrs and orchids are too tall for it, but everything else seems to be fair game. There's also a lot of bladderworts that got there somehow, and I'm really worried about them because they're really short as far as...
I have a few of these LED shop lights and use them over my Poison Dart Frog Terrariums. The leafy plants grow just fine.

You can get these at Costco. The light output 3700 lumens, life approximately 50,000 hours, color temperature 4100 degrees...

I have a few Venus fly traps that have just split or about to split off and ones that have split and been growing for some time that i have available to trade, sizes vary according to what type of vft they're coming from and how long they been growing as their own rooted plant in the pot.
I...
As the title says. I'm not picky as to species, even if it's a NoID (though known parentage is preferable to satiate my label OCD).
Any plant or leaf-pullings that exhibit noticeable pink and/or purplish hues in the leaves will fit the bill.
Up for trade are:
VFT 'Akai Ryu' (approx. 1.5"...
I recently just started to take care my 1st VFT. Had a great time feeding for the first time since it was store bought from HD. Now after I fed it i wanted it to get used to the California sun with enough shade on it. So after a few days after i fed my boy, some of the traps turned black and...
Figured i'd see if we could start a VFT of the month contest since we have a Pitcher of the month on and other photo contests on this forum :)
RULES (-pretty much like the pitcher of the month contest rules)
1. Only ONE (1) VFT plant per member may be entered in any particular month.
2. All...
Hey folks. After doing lots of reading I've decided to try my hand first at an outdoor container bog. As I've mentioned in previous posts I'm in Texas, zone 9, near Houston. I plan to do mostly sarracenia with a couple VFT, sundews, bladderwort, and even a cobra lily if one would survive for...
Hey folks. I'm very new around here. This is my first attempt at CP. I've made the classic hobbyist mistake that I've scolded so many fellow reefers for doing, which is buying livestock before you research. Luckily I didn't mess up too bad
I recently picked up a S. Purpurea, and a VFT from...
Well this is my first summer growing CP. Started with a VFT, now I have a Cephalotus on the way and a fresh Sarracenia that I just bought. For the winter, I will for sure need to have the pitchers brought inside as the deep winters will be too cold here in PA. I also need to be able to simulate...
Pretty close to ordering a Cephalotus, almost convinced the wife to let me. I'm in Pennsylvania so what I am inquiring about is what do you all do for dormancy? All I have right now is VFT outside and some other seeds brewing. I know Ceph wont survive the winter here so i'm looking to you guys...
Hey,
Have not been on this site in quite a while. My indoor nepenthes collection is in need of trimming up. I am looking for 2- 3+ year old VFT for my deck. Let me know what you have to offer. I have a huge vine of Nepenthes Alata Pink, Rooted cutting of Nepenthes Veitchii, Cuttings of Nepenthes...
Giveaway Time!
Was originally going to wait for my VFT seeds to drop before doing this but they seem to be taking a while. Seeds were harvested at the end of last season and unfortunately I didn't have the foresight to strat these over the winter.. Any trades are welcome and appreciated but not...

And ill send you the rest of the pollen ive collected
