Yeah, I have some Sarr that Copper sent me and some of the ones that were collected from that site in FL(the radio station). They chill outside in a tank/bog all winter and are still lookin good. Well as good as can be expected for a dormant plant that dies back a bit. I am actually more of a Nep and Ceph person but I have put them on hold till I can get a proper chamber setup. I insist on this so I must wait. I just hate having a ghetto setup so I'm doin somethin bout it.
No drosera here, never had one. I'm just not that awed by them. I take that back Copper sent me couple last year but I managed to kill them in like 2 days. I think it was D. regeia (sp?) and another.
I agree that if you don't grow cp's you must leave, now. But since you have some growing outside, we should reach some type of compromise. I say you must leave for now, you'll be allowed back as soon as your plants outside come out of dormancy.
I don't think its any secret that my real passion is Epi-cactus which is where the Neps come in cause I love epiphytes and have been considering Epi-Utrics. Another day though.
Don't feel alone, I have 4 pitcher plants and a half dozen roridula I raised from seed. Everything else I had died during the multiple hurricanes, and I haven't bothered to replace any of it.
I'm sure that if I can keep as many plants (which isn't that many but you know...), you can keep some of them! I basically have a clear plastic box on a windowsill as my "growth chamber". that's it! no growth lights, no sun, no humidifier, etc... and so far so good! I've killed only a small percentage of the species I get and it's usually because of lack of sun (and a couple because of shipping stress) ... It's very easy to care for your CPs in a plastic box
Oh its not that i can't it's that I am tired of "ghetto" rigging. I had 6 Neps in a 40gln Rubbermaid tub with a glass slate and grow lights and it worked well but I want the "real deal". So I am slowly putting together a real chamber as a pro would or a zoo, ya know something to that effect.
