Carnivorous plant growers from India?

  • Thread starter Vidyut
  • Start date
I grow carnivorous plants. Interested in connecting with other growers in India. Particularly if you are growing drosophyllum...

Currently growing:
  • byblis liniflora, byblis guehoi
  • pinguicula aphrodite
  • drosera burmanii, finlaysoniana (indica complex), spatulata, hybrida, andromeda, capensis, curviscapa, esterhuyseniae x slackii, binata dichotoma giant, binata red(?)/marston dragon(?), binata multifida (seedlings), pretty rosette (seedlings)
  • nepenthes ampullaria, ventrata, miranda, several vikings (?) + small plants: truncata x mira, rajah x veitchii, robcantleyi x veitchii, veitchii x platychila, rafflesiana, madagascarensis, bellii (+several plants and seeds on the way)
  • venus flytrap several small plants
  • heliamphora minor (scrawny one, this)



I've been lurking here for a long time, mostly reading up. Thought it might be nice to find people from India.

Hard to find good suppliers in India

If there is one thing harder than finding fellow growers in India, it is finding reliable suppliers. Most of them are out of business. Few sell neps, but without name of species. One sells droseras burmanii, spatulata and adelae. That is it.
 
It looks like you have a decent collection started, despite the low availability.
 
Bonjour

you grow others plants like amorphophallus or dorstenia ?

if you want drosophyllum seeds I have PM me

Thanks! I end up having to buy almost everything from abroad and spend a fortune on shipping. But as I kill fewer plants with each passing year, it has started looking less and less like throwing money in a black hole.

Do you have Any blog web because i seen some post with this name
 
Not from India myself but maybe you have stumbled on a business idea. Get an indoor greenhouse, grow all you can. Propagate what you have. Or better yet, do tissue culture which is quicker. Get neighbors, co workers, friends involved. Everyone that visits my home leaves with a much better understanding of CP's than when they arrived. Some leave with a starter plant or two. I enjoy teaching others as much as I know. I have lots of drosera seeds I could send but not sure they would make it. Send address if interested, I will see what I can do. Happy growing.
 
This is some of my works with drosera spatulata and adelae and nepenthes
