My Lowes S. purpurea - then and now

[Timmah73]

So back in April I picked up my first death cube plants. One of them being a fairly healthing looking little S purpurea. At first it didn't want to seem to grow at all, it probobly went about 2 months with no signs of new growth.

And then, all of the sudden, I couldn't stop the thing from making new traps if I tried. This is what it looks like now after a summer of gorging on flies and yellowjackets.

Very nice before and after pictures from the looks of the newer pitchers it must love your growing area compared to being in that cube..

I'd like to have one! Grown the same as leucos, I presume?

 

[Jimmy]

Very Nice!

Death Cube plants actually prove to exceed expectations in many cases - all they need is a little TLC. Seems like you have done very well with it.

Excellent! I see your top layer of sphagnum turns black just like mine!
