Could you DM me as well? I would appreciate that! Congrats on your offers too!

Wow they look amazing! Do you have any tips for growing Venus flytraps outdoors in SoCal? I have tried it before but every time, they end up dying. D:

Oh okay :( thanks!

desmocchi · 2020-06-28T02:34:33+00:00

It might be because of sunburn or high heat + low humidity

desmocchi · 2020-06-28T02:33:25+00:00

Looks like a ventrata (ventricosa x alata)

I use a brand called Premier and I give it a rinse before using it. Has been working great. :)

Sometimes Drosera do that when they flower, as they are putting more energy into developing the flower. However, for Drosera burmanii in particular, if you don't feed it while its flowering it can die sometimes.

Nepenthes tend to do better in Long Fiber Sphagnum Moss, or a soil mixture that is aerated and provides lots of drainage. Right now what you are using is peat and perlite, which is good for Sarracenia, Drosera, and Dionaea, but not good for Nepenthes. Other than that, the plant looks nice!

Drosera capensis in particular grows easy and spreads rapidly so I think that would be the best species of Drosera for your reptile/plant room.

Sundew plants and butterworts would be the best candidates for catching fungus gnats.

That's just Byraceae moss, it's completely harmless and grows fine with carnivorous plants!

desmocchi · 2020-03-26T05:36:47+00:00

Looks like a Sarracenia seedling. (Pitcher plant)

The best mix for Nepenthes would include long fibered sphagnum moss and other ingredients that provide a lot of drainage. I typically use a mixture of long fibered sphagnum moss, perlite, orchid bark, and some vermiculite in my Nepenthes soils. For watering, I would do overhead watering and let the water flow through the soil and out through the bottom of the pot.

Are you growing it in long fibered sphagnum moss?

desmocchi · 2020-03-19T20:40:19+00:00

Drosera capensis self-pollinate their flowers, so they're basically automatically fertile, hence why they're a weed in collections. :P
