thank you!
although nurseries rarely carry them, they are easily found online.
they do have very specific requirements, the main thing is that they must have distilled or rain water… or RO water works as well. tds must be below 100 ppm.
nice to see OG back in business!
i missed this place.

It took covid to finally get me to get my ish together and plant these carnivorous plant seeds. Had them for a few months now.
- D. Finlay
- Capensis Alba
- D. Capensis
- Sundew mix
- D. Spatulata
.
1:1 peat to perlite rinsed in distilled water
.
The seeds were so small, I was afraid to breath when I opened the first packet…so unfortunately, no pics.
.
Filled the solos with the medium, placed them into their trays and filled the trays with about 0.75" of standing water. Covered with wrap and placed into the veg fridge. Very warm (+28c or more)and humid (probably 90-100%).

Just checked on my carnivorous plant project. It’s been a month or 2 since this was started, so glad to see some life!
Check it out…things are smaller than a pinhead…the seeds looked like dust…I was scared to breath when planting them.

And this one already has dew drops, or as they call them in the carnivorous plant community, trichomes…lol.

I would like that. The pods are dried out and I can send them whenever you like. I was in Tucson at a beautiful nursery called Greenthings and one of the cactus growers said that I could root a clone from just a chunk as long as it has some skin and spines. He said they can start off with multiple stalks or branches from that piece so I could possibly send a rooted chunk or two. Gonna go back and cut some pieces tomorrow.
