Tj's Plant Thread!!

Plant Addict!!
Ok, so I wanted to create a thread to post all of the pics that I take.

Here is my setup as of now... the pots on the left are were I will be planting some dews. (more on that in the near future)

This leaf was pointing strait up when it first arrived! (yey the first signs of growth!)

It's ok if pitchers die - some don't last long; but also when you repot or ship a plant, it gets stressed and drops pitchers and that's just natural. Don't worry, more will grow :)
 
congrats tj! I hope your poi dog gets huge! (its already very big ;))
 
Lookin' good, TJ! You seem a lot more prepared than most people who are just getting into this. Those plants will surely be flourishing in the coming months.
 
Thanks everyone! I'll update when there are updates to be made.:)
 
Got a package from Not a Number today practically stuffed with gemmae!!

He sent me:

D. allantostigma
D. helodes
D. pulchella
D. roseana
D. scorpioides (w/pink flower)
D. scorpioides (w/white flower)
and D. trichocaulis

The pygmy Drosera are growing very fast... with D. pulchella being the exception... at first i didnt think it was growing at all but it appears that one maybie two of them are growing, so its not a complete loss. I'm just about ready to start feeding a few of them!:)

Looking great so far. The smaller the gemmae the tougher it is to keep 'em going so I gave you quite a bit of the smaller ones. D. pulchella should be salmon colored flowers.
