My name is Devon and I'm a botanical enthusiast living in Montana. I'm fairly new to carnivorous plants. I've tried growing the before with little success, but now I've really committed myself to giving them everything they need and they seem to be responding well. I'm currently in possession of 5 Sarracenia purpurea, 3 Dionaea muscipula, 2 Drosera Capensis (I just got them), and 4 unknown Nepenthes hybrids. I'm also giving two of the Nepenthes biweekly coffee treatments and using the other two as a control group to monitor growth differences, so that should be interesting! The biggest problem growing these here in Montana seems to be keeping adequate humidity levels (I have the same problem with my tarantulas), so I've been growing them in clear storage bins with about a centimeter of water in the bottom. I'd love to know if there are any other Montana growers on this site.
Thanks & Happy Growing!
Devon
P.S. The Nepenthes are no longer standing in water.
