So I bought a few plants this time instead of trying to grow with seed, I never seem to have any luck. I have a whole room dedicated to growing them. I ordered: Sarracenia purpurea, drosera capensis and drosera spatulata. I will post pictures when they arrive.

 

[Maiden]

Nice choice of plants ! Of course its faster with adult plants

You will have to provide a winter dormancy to your purpurea, but the other 2 will grow all year long !

Keep me posted !

How would you recommend providing that dormancy period? I have heard that you can put them outside during winter but I have no idea.

 

[Maiden]

Outdoor is ok as long your plant is IN the ground. If you grow your purp in a pot the roots will freeze. The best is a unheated garage, or in the fridg in a bag.

I'm finally getting upper pitchers on some of my Nepenthes ventricosa.

I shouldn't of looked at this thread dang it. 2 years ago I had 5 varieties of succulents not I have well over a 100. I've always liked carnivorous plants but now I might have to take the plunge. 
 
This OCD trait always gets the better of me rofl.......................

I love those guys, just need to find a good supplier in my area of the country, been difficult. Well maybe spring.

Little over a month ago I split up my Heli plants very aggressively, turned 2 plants into almost 20. I'm happy to say they have all rooted well and are putting out new growth. They don't look like much at the moment but in a few months they will be full of new pitchers and looking dead sexy. 

 
I harvested my own sphagnum moss for re-potting and was pleasantly surprised to see this little round leaf sundew plant pop up. 

 
And it's starting to flower

 

[dragonsfire]

Nice !

 

[dragonsfire]

Found this guy today, ment for pond gardens. What would be the best way to set it up for indoor?
