Off and On

[SpyCspider]

Hi ya'll,

I've been growing CPs off and on throughout my life but now that I've permanently moved down to Houston, TX (originally from NJ), I want to start fueling my hobby more passionately.  At this point in time, I still think of myself as a newbie (of 15 years) since I still haven't figured out the quirks of some carnivores (especially sundews).  I finally bought my first 2 pots of D. capensis and REALLY really want them to become the weeds that experienced growers talk about.

Cheers,
Johnny

Welcome to TF! I think we dialogued a bit when you were in NJ.

Welcome! If you really want those D. capensis to go wild, get them a nice, big, deep pot, put them outside, then harvest the flower stalks and put all the seed they produce back into the pot for a season or so. And keep them away from your other pots! My D. capensis live in an entirely different room of the house once they reach flowering age.
Best luck,
~Joe

Yep, what Joe said is true. Give them lots of light, and you will have tons of flowers and eventually seeds. Also, welcome to TF.
