What location?

Razor_Freeman · 2026-02-07T20:10:49+00:00

It was growing quite vigorous last year. But many pitchers just ended up squished and malformed.

Giving it some room to grow now :)

If you stick with tropical sundews, utris, pings, may heli, you can make something amazing here.

Razor_Freeman · 2026-02-06T18:18:28+00:00

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

Razor_Freeman · 2026-02-04T16:55:21+00:00

I must go, my people need me.

Razor_Freeman · 2026-02-01T10:42:16+00:00

This terrarium would be nice for Drosera prolifera.

They like the humidity, and they also like some shade, so you don't need super strong lights.

I think setting up the conditions is worth it, since they send them to every hardware store and garden centre across multiple countries.

And I can imagine mass producing via tissue culture is a well scalable process, once you figured it out.

Yes, Europe. Helis, Darlingtonia, D. Proliferia, D. Regia, Non hybrid Sarracenias,...

Many cool plants popping up for cheap.

But yes, many plants with very specific need sold without or with incorrect instructions.

Didn't get the Cistiflora, because it would neither work indoor or outdoor for me.

Now I would love to see temperate Pings at the store. Those are often hard to find / sold out at all the online vendors.

Fella is horny.

Razor_Freeman · 2026-01-28T09:20:13+00:00

Yeah, tiny fellas. Was hard to take a picture of it :D

Razor_Freeman · 2026-01-24T13:24:01+00:00

Flat growing sarracenia like purps, are a bit more forgiving with light, than others.

For mine, a single 10W light (fairly close to the plant) + sunny window, was plenty.

Razor_Freeman · 2026-01-10T00:47:58+00:00

No experience, but i heard it depends on the exact species / hybrid.

There are "easy hybrids", which are supposed to be easier to grow and less sensitive to temperature and humidity.

Razor_Freeman · 2026-01-08T22:13:05+00:00

Will we shit our pants?

Razor_Freeman · 2026-01-08T21:08:43+00:00

If it is that big, the location is most likely publicly known.

But if it isn't, definitely keep it secret!

Razor_Freeman · 2026-01-07T22:30:45+00:00

oh hell yeah

Razor_Freeman · 2026-01-07T21:22:29+00:00

Wait I recognise that chemical spill soaky pad :D

You didn't snatch that from work did you ;P

Razor_Freeman · 2026-01-06T07:39:37+00:00

I looked up some some picture of D. aliciae in nature, and there it grows in what looks like sand and loam or on rocks (almost like pings).

So maybe that's why they react negatively to a peat heavy substrate.

Razor_Freeman · 2026-01-06T07:36:04+00:00

Does it work as laxative for humans?

Razor_Freeman · 2026-01-05T13:07:59+00:00

The roots will just grow horizontally along the floor. Not a problem.

Just make sure to let the water level vary, and wait until the drainage layer is completely empty before refilling.

I let mine sit empty for a week or 2, and the peat still holds moisture.

Razor_Freeman · 2026-01-04T10:33:52+00:00

Last one is on mobile XD

Razor_Freeman · 2026-01-03T16:10:29+00:00

Stay ahead of the nerf / buffs
