I'm Vidyut and I'm from India and I've been lurking and reading on these forums for half a decade without interacting much, which has changed only sporadically in the last couple of years after I made an account. I have no particular claim to fame other than trying to grow plants for that long.
Initially I killed all my plants, then most, then many, then several and now fewer. Along the way, the ones that survived seem to have turned into a rather varied collection of CPs for being in India. I think I have at least one of every genus other than utricularia and more than one of each genus other than Helis.
That said, most of my plants are juveniles other than a few flowering Pinguicula aphrodites, drosera burmanii, spatulata, capensis, byblis and vining nepenthes mirabilis and ventratas. The juveniles include a rather large variety of nepenthes and several droseras.
I do have an aim of eventually selling CPs in India, because it totally sucks that very few here sell more than a species or two and none sell consistently. All mostly hobbyists selling spares. World's largest democracy should have something right? So that is what I will be when I grow up. A mega grower of CPs.
(I am in my 40s and still a juvenile grower. Beat that, nepenthes )
In the meanwhile trying to figure out how not to kill them.
