    In the wild: Scottish Drosera (photos)

    Hi all, Just a few photos of Drosera that I stumbled across in Scotland. I shot them with my phone—taking pictures of sundews wasn't planned—so, no great shakes as regards photo quality. Thought you might like them nonetheless. These are from the East Coast, 2013:

    Guide me through my container bog

    Hey folks. After doing lots of reading I've decided to try my hand first at an outdoor container bog. As I've mentioned in previous posts I'm in Texas, zone 9, near Houston. I plan to do mostly sarracenia with a couple VFT, sundews, bladderwort, and even a cobra lily if one would survive for...

    Hello

    Hi everyone, I got into CPs a little over a year ago and have been referencing this and other forums for loads of care information and ideas so I figured it's about time to join in. I grow mostly Nepenthes, but have a few sundews, butterworts, flytraps, a cephalotus and an H. minor. Most of...

    First CP thread

    Hey folks. I'm very new around here. This is my first attempt at CP. I've made the classic hobbyist mistake that I've scolded so many fellow reefers for doing, which is buying livestock before you research. Luckily I didn't mess up too bad I recently picked up a S. Purpurea, and a VFT from...

    Need some Drosera help

    Hi folks. I am looking for somebody who is sort of an expert in Drosera. I have a project I am working on that I am not really allowed to discuss in public until the production is complete. I can say my part of the project involves some sundews (a rather rare species to cultivate), and I am...

    Drosera oblanceolata care

    I got this plant about a month ago. It doesn't seem to like its current growing conditions. I am growing it with my petiolaris Drosera (which are doing great) on a windowsill in an enclosed container. The humidity and temperatures are pretty high. The plant has shrunk even though I have fed...

    Venus Fly Trap - Growth rate Red Dragon vs B52

    I know that B52 is supposed to grow much faster than red dragon and tends not to divide as much, but how much faster? What is the fastest growing Venus Fly Trap Cultivar? Are my Venus fly traps and Sundews going to grow on these magic Chinese growing crystals or will they kill them...

    Pygmy sundews, scrambled, pls. (trans: need help) :)

    Hi, all! So... talk about a lesson learned the hard way. My two-year-old daughter thought it would be oh so hilarious if she yanked out the ID tags on 8 of the 13 species of pygmy sundew whose gemmae I acquired for the first time this past fall. In short, I have no idea which sundews are which...

    D. stolonifera flowering or fake?

    In December I purchased 30 or so seeds from Australia of D. stolonifera, and was able to germinate 3 plants. Through PM's to different members I tried to find out how long it usually took for the plants to begin their upright growth, or if this would not occur until a few years of growth. With...

    Dr. FrankenSnyder has stepped in...

    from Southern California. You all might know me from my famous work, Colchicine Treatment on Sterile Hybrid Sundews. That’s why they call me “Franken-Snyder”. I am still at it, although my monstrosity collection is much more modest these days.

    Unknown sundews found

    I have found these sundews in the pot of a recent sarracenia purchase and would be grateful for any guesses as to what they are. Im thinking that the ones to the outside are tubers? They appear to be the same species.

    CP-safe emulsifier for neem oil solution (aphid busting)

    I'm developing a fairly serious aphid problem in a few of my trays (Drosera mostly at this point), and want to try a topical application of Neem oil per this article on Grow Sundews. However, I'm having trouble getting the neem oil to emulsify. The label suggests using 2 tsp of dish soap per...
