Sorry @PhreekinSundewMan - this giveaway ended on April 3.

Wahoo - we have two winners! @Gregbey & @Vbkid I'll send you PMs with shipping options and payment info. I'd love to get these out early this week. So, be ready to pot 'em up!

Everyone's a winner so far! @Vbkid - glad to hear the plants you received are doing well!

My scorpioides pygmies are producing a lot of gemmae, and I'd like to get these fun dews into other folks' collections. This giveaway is open to TerraForums members who have a USA mailing address and have 25+ posts. I'll split postage with the winners - I should have enough gemmae for ~3...

My experience is they do whatever they feel like. I have two varieties of ping in the same pot, one is full carnivorous, the other succulent as heck. The shifting of phases is what the plant naturally does and I just try and follow its lead. (Trickier if there are two types on the same pot, but...

Yes, many thanks for sharing your experiences! Let us know how the fertilizing goes. This summer I am going to try some maxsea on a spare one to see if it makes a difference - but it is in a pot I can flush occasionally, which might be more difficult in an undrained container.

Very nice! I love seeing humboldtii traps. How long has that plant been in your vase? I might have to try a bigger 'pot'

Gorgeous plant and photos! Every time I see someone's success with a heli I want to try again. Well done!

Wow! Ok, as soon as I have an expanded grow space - I'll be up-potting for sure!

@amphirion - that is a stunning specimen! What size is the net pot your alpina is in? I have an alpina that is wildly overdue for repotting - and I know that I will set it back when I do so (as it has grown through so many holes in the net pot). Out of curiosity, how often do you repot? And...

I have some Utric livida. If you're interested in a plug PM me.

It's spring now and some of the grandiflora hibernacula are plumping up. Have some extras forming and would still love to trade for other cold-hardy pinguicula types.

I chuckled with your longifolia progress - I'm constantly clipping runaways from the humboldtii pot - those utrics like to run!!

Hey there, sent you a chat. Let me know if you got it and/or if vulgaris are still an option?

I usually also send mine in a ziplock inside a padded envelope. Or I'll put the damp paper towel in a small test tube, then in the padded envelope. During non-frosty seasons I have received gemmae in probably the most-economical fashion. Damp paper towel in small ziplock nested in a 'cardboard...
