Finch
Whats it to ya?
Hi there.
I am interested in carnivorous plants. I don’t exactly own one yet. Can I still post if I dont own one but am planning to get one?
Im going to buy a cape sundew because i know there a good beginners plant, and will get one as soon as the weather permits. I have some house plants, but they dont grow too well because i overwater them! I know carnivorous plants will live in permanently moist soil. I know they need purified low sodium water. I have a mini- terrarium as well as a unused large one.
But i have some questions. Will a cape sundew (D capensis) grow in a 1ft by 1ft square terrarium, and will it be large enough? The closest petstore is a hour away, and I don’t know if they have insects that i will be able to feed it during bug-less times (tough they keep lizards, so they probably do have something.
If not i might be able to get maggots at the local bait store
(eww)
Is D. slackii Good for beginners too? What plants would you recommend?
You may be wondering why my screen name is Finch. Thats because i love birds, and own a bustling colony of zebra finches that would double its population size in 6 months if i didnt remove the eggs
