Carnivorous plant growers from India?

[Vidyut]

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.

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.

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

Most of my friends have it now
I did fascinated by icps webinar on nepenthes sex is determined by countable gene so want to see if there is any chance to do a sex change in nepenthes by transferring the genes to other sex to see what happens

Till date, all are from fellow friend from around who initiated my works to do tc for them ,Its been a year since i got in this .
I have contract with that lab ,as long i do banana tissue culture for them the lab is free for me for any work, so i started with orchid 3 year ego in my second year , this is lot more easy than that.
