So how much u going to sell it?Really interested.
BTW...how much VFT seeds cost?

= willing to share knowledge = know = expert lor... at least is new expert.


Please wait and see… VFT seeds? Im not really sure how much it cost. But, you can check out it from ebay or http://www.triffidpark.com.au to check out the price. CP grow from seeds is slow…

no slow..... it is super slow...

Ooo...So mostly they r cultivated?

If those sell in nursery, mostly grow from Tissue Culture. Because, plant will grow faster in TC if compare with grow from seeds or leaf cutting.

For VFT, normally collector will propagate it from leaf cutting. If you are patient enough, you can grow from seeds as well. Personnally, I feel that VFT is not easy to flower. In my house, it never flower before

Is flowering important for VFT?As long as they live healthily is ok rite?

BTW...dat Sungai Buloh nursery can deliver VFT 1?Wats their fon no.?

Purpose of plant flowering is because to produce seeds. So, if you don’t want to collect seeds, flowering or not is not a problem.

Sure cannot deliver lar!!!

hahahah our local nursery haven come to that stage to deliver plant for us... especially CP...

casey is rite.... dun forget the flower will take out the energy of the mother plant as well.

CP will not help get rid of insect. Even may get more of them. VFT ar... Im not sure which nursery at ampang / Cheras selling but, you can drop a call to Fauzi. His nursery at Ampang, he have VFT for sale.

hi qqbebe, i dun think VFT will work for that.... . it major go for trap flies.

if i not mistaken, you might stay condo/ apartment and mean you cant get a suit place for VFT/drosera/sarracenia species for outdoor since the lack of direct sunlight. if you want keep them health and the only choice is indoor with artificiate lighting system. Well it might able trap some insert or mosquito.

but i owas suggest do not use CP just to trap insect/pest. The major you need is put them as hobby and give them a suitable place for growing and survive.

jsut my 2cent....

My house has sooo many mosquitoes... any plants that traps and eat mosquito well?? Pls intro...
I live in a apartment... And i have alot of sunlights shining into my house... Because I live in the 2nd floor and my side is where the sun rise... It is very sunny in the afternoon till evening... I have those glass transparent doors... That's why...

CP cant eliminate mosquitoes...Most CP can secrete scent to attract insects such as flies etc.I dun think mosquitoes love that type of scent cos they prefer human or other animals more.Unless it is unlucky to land on a CP and get trap...

I tot u told me his nursery at Subang Parade?

oh i see...since you can get sunlight that long hours.. then should be all right

dun forget what casey mentioned, CP would try the way to trap insect so mean it might get more from mosquitoes/insect... of couse not in huge amount.

i can suggest is d.filiformis ... what i experienced is it able trap more insect than other due to the structure of leaf.

"Sundews (Drosera) or butterworts (Pinguicula) will catch mosquitos quite nicely. You just need enough of them growing nearby (in hanging baskets?) to lower the odds of a mosquito making it across the garden to your arm to acceptable levels."

Is it true??
