So the watering thing is a myth? Or the root thing? For the Drosophyllums.. in that link that led to axels post.

Oh, okay.The myth is that Drosophyllums in the same pot inhibit each other's growth.
CP books 20+ years ago cautioned you to only grow one plant in each pot. That's when I started to grow CP the first time.
Good growing,
Mike

Oddly enough I don't remember ever reading this. Only grow one plant in the pot as it needs the room to grow I do. Double potting was recommended (a la Slack, also unnecessary) so the pots were more restricted in size.
Is it an old CP book myth or an internet myth? I tend to opt for the latter.
Three seeds in a pot and bin the others after the first germinates as Drosophyllum can't be transplanted was another piece of comedic wit.
Someone posted a picture on Facebook yesterday of a Drosophyllum growing in a tiny plastic pot with leaves 3x the height of the pot and flowers. He apparently doesn't use any sort of special soil for it either.
Yes you can grow Drosophyllum here. The plants will survive being frozen solid (for a short period of time) though it's probably not good for them. Garages make good over-wintering areas if you can provide enough light and I've heard of people just growing them on windowsills too.
......they are much easier to grow than people make them out to be .......
