My other hobby: Carnivorous Plants! DUW

[foxoftherose]

I generally try to avoid bragging, but I do love to show off my plants. I've been growing carnivorous plants for the past year and a half, and I think I'm getting the hang of it. If anyone has any questions about any of the plants you see, please ask, as I love to talk about them. I have at least twenty more plants that I don't have pictures of. I'll post pics as soon as I have them.

Those look awesome. My gf really likes carnivorous plants but sucks at keeping them alive. What species have you found easiest to work with, and what are some tips to keeping them alive.

I've been fascinated by carnivorous plants for a while but I've only ever seen/ heard of Venus Fly Traps and the ones with the bell-like flowers with liquid in them. I think the first one is the most interesting.. Thanks for posting those super cool looking plants

I used to raise carnies a long time ago. Lost the passion for it though. There are basically 3 types: The Venus Fly-Traps, Pitchers Plants, and Sundews.

VFT's will always be my favorite.

Really cool! Beautiful plants!

Those all look fantastic! I love carnivorous plants - learning about them was one of my favorite parts of my ecology classes. I was so excited when I was able to go to a bog and see some pitcher plants and sundew growing in the wild. I can't even imagine the specific conditions needed to grow those plants at home, so well done on some beautiful looking specimens

That's pretty cool. I don't have any plants in my house, I'm afraid as far as they go I have a black thumb. So I gave up.

Super cool. Do you culture flies to feed them or what?

Love that Scarlett Belle!

I am growing a purple pitcher in some sphagnum moss under my frog lights and it even bloomed this past month. I would love to get more pitchers!
