Hi! Im new to the forums here so I figured Id make an introduction post.

Im currently 17, and I got into Carnivorous Plants when I was a little kid, and Ive loved them since :) I only have a small Typical Venus Flytrap and a small Nepenthes Ventricosa at the moment, but Im hoping to expand my collection! My favorite type of Carnivorous Plant is Nepenthes, especially Nepenthes Burkei and Nepenthes Spathulata. I really like any type of Nepenthes that is red and green! The bright reds and greens mix very nicely in my opinion.

I decided Id make an account here in order to get some useful tips and such since Im a newbie grower, and uh. Thats about it!
I hope I see you on the forums! :)

Heres some pictures of my plants:

Thanks :) the venus flytrap was in pretty poor shape when I got it (I've had both for about 2 weeks) but in the past few days its opened 3 of its traps and even caught 2 bugs! Its also got 2 tiny new traps developing.

Glad to be here! I've seen the giveaways :D (I even put my name down for a drosera seed giveaway :)
 
Welcome Sashoke, I see /r/savagegarden is spilling over here.
 
Welcome to TF and good luck with your new plants! I moved to Nashville around 3 weeks ago for college, so we could possibly be in proximity!

On another note, if you can grow N. ventricosa you can probably grow N. burkei too. :)

Be sure to drop over to the picture threads and drool over some Nep photos!

Welcome to the forums Sashoke. It's always nice to hear of hobbyists (relatively) nearby.

I live in Hendersonville, its just South East of Nashville if I remember correctly. Its about a 10minute drive from Nashville, so we're definitely close!

Id love to grow a Burkei but I has no munnies for one ???
