Just found the forum and thought I'd say hi...hi.
I had someone give me a pitcher plant the other day, which is kind of like having someone give you a puppy..."what, oh, well isn't that cute, thank you". I'm mostly joking, but the person knew I keep dart frogs and thought it would fit in well with my other plants. Also, the person was my wife so it's not like I can get rid of it...actually I've been thinking of getting some myself.
Now that you know why I came looking for you all, I have a few questions. I've looked over a few other sites:
http://www.sarracenia.com
http://www.carnivorousplants.org
and a few others and I now know, I don't know what I don't know. I've checked around here and I can't find a "I have no idea what I'm doing" thread.
Here is the plant, my wife was told is S. purpurea. True?
Is it true this requires a dormant period?
Post is already a little too lengthy, so I'll stop there. Thanks for any help!
