I agree with Jim. One of my VFTs just finished flowering, and gosh darnit I let it flower! And you know what? It was worth it. Looked great. Besides, I have eight of them, so I can afford to lose one if that were to happen.

Tamlin, I have my U. radiata in a 10 gallon aquarium. I suppose I will never see it flower?

N. bicalcarata is not a suitable houseplant, i.e. wouldn't work in a typical room in a hanging pot. It needs high humidity and warm temps in order to pitcher well, which is why I plan to move it into my bathroom in the Fall after we move to the new apartment, and I plan to keep the bathroom door...

Another seedling appeared yesterday in the original setup on the windowsill. That makes #5 out of 12 so far. Sometime you just need to give them time.

Joel, you must have seen "Evolution" recently.

Kinda similar story here, though mine are still hanging in there. Even if they all die, it will have been a pleasure to have grown them.

Hmm...perhaps I should try sowing some more Mimosa seeds in pots in my Neps tank, as it's the hottest part of the house.

rabangus has a very good point. Let's use the simple Mendelian genetics model, and let's say for the sake of argument (and this may in fact be true) that both the dentate and all-red traits are each controlled by a single, recessive gene. We'll call the dentate allele 'd', with 'D' meaning...

Compact fluorescents (CFL's) all the way. I use eight of them to provide light for my entire CP collection, and they're doing great.

I have had this happen on my Green Dragon VFT. Occasionally leaves come out with twisted petioles as you describe, but sometimes it's even weirder. One of the leaves on it has a notch in the petiole extension, and another has one side of the trap smaller than the other, which obviously would not...
