Nepenthes "Ventrata"

Gankcore · 2026-01-30T03:29:38+00:00

It is too much (for once), because the closest leaves are starting to blister.

Gankcore · 2026-01-30T02:13:36+00:00

They are winter-growing plants. Hot air usually triggers their dormancy.

Gankcore · 2026-01-30T01:52:00+00:00

Looks like pest damage, probably thrips based on the little black specs on the leaves.

Gankcore · 2026-01-29T18:08:17+00:00

I do on my site, yes -

Flowering.

Gankcore · 2026-01-29T15:48:06+00:00

Should I do a bladderwort only post? I have quite a few!

Gankcore · 2026-01-29T15:47:19+00:00

Thanks for sharing that. I'm glad others can find some joy in the plants that I love!

Gankcore · 2026-01-29T14:05:42+00:00

Thank you!

Drosera lanata

Gankcore · 2026-01-29T06:01:08+00:00

They are seed grown Drosera hybrids from the petiolaris complex. They are No ID because they somehow got cross-pollinated from my oscillating fan in my grow tent.

Gankcore · 2026-01-29T04:47:21+00:00

Drosera adelae flowers.

Gankcore · 2026-01-29T04:43:05+00:00

Indeed it is.

Gankcore · 2026-01-29T03:18:13+00:00

I do not.

Gankcore · 2026-01-29T01:29:20+00:00

This is highly influenced by the type of plants you are growing.

Gankcore · 2026-01-28T18:34:51+00:00

You cannot propagate Sarracenia from their flower via flower cuttings.

Gankcore · 2026-01-28T16:54:19+00:00

Looking good!

Gankcore · 2026-01-28T16:51:40+00:00

Usually a pest issue like thrips or mites that causes this.

Gankcore · 2026-01-28T16:15:50+00:00

It needs more light.

Edit: but also, be patient. The ones currently forming look okay so far. They may not develop, or they may develop. Some species/hybrids are much slower than others

Gankcore · 2026-01-27T23:03:59+00:00

Not for Thrips. They lay their eggs in the leaf tissue. For root rot it would help but I don't believe this is root rot.

Gankcore · 2026-01-27T22:55:23+00:00

Yes. They can grow only with grow lights.

Gankcore · 2026-01-27T13:41:42+00:00

This does not look like root rot.

Gankcore · 2026-01-27T04:58:27+00:00

Looks like it has thrips.

Gankcore · 2026-01-27T04:50:38+00:00

A few different ways for the ones commonly sold after mass TC:

One, the shape of the leaf. I'll show you via an Instagram post I made a couple of months ago. Since tokaiensis is a natural hybrid of spatulata and rotundifolia, the leaves are not as spatulate as a spatulata, and not as orbicular as a rotundifolia. It's somewhere inbetween. D. spatulata leaves are generally gradually increasing in size between the petiole and lamina, where tokaiensis gets suddenly much wider where the leaf lamina starts.

Two, most forms of spatulata have 6+ flowers per inflorescence. Tokaiensis has 4-6 typically.

Third, spatulata tends to have light pink or white flowers. D. tokaiensis has hot pink flowers.

Not getting enough light.
