Haha this is my ID Casey!  biggrin.gif The adelae you gave me I think because of the heat, kinda become droopy leaf. Should I try to grow indoors? The intermedia cuba, spathulata are doing ok. But primuliflora melting now  cry.gif Dunno why it happen. Yesterday stupid neighbour cat came and spoilt my D paradoxa from David.  mad.gif  I'm gonna keep the one I'm getting from you indoors to avoid this happening.

If D. adelea still have dew. Don’t worry about it. In my house, I kept it at the lower layer of my CP rack. And it didn’t receive much sunlight. All D. primuliflora melt? It is hard plant. If you still need them, please let me know.

Casey bro,
Lu punya racun manyak kuat oh! Never knew there were so many varieties of CPs available for sale in Malaysia!

Will be at Cameron Highlands on June 7. Could you direct me to the YG park mentioned. From Gogle search, understand it is 8-9km from Equatorial Hotel opposite a tea shop. Is it towards Brinchang or the other direction.

Have a few VFTs and Pitcher plants but they are nothing compared to those in your collection especially the red VFT!

Im not really sure as well. I didn’t went there… Im asking the 2 friend that went there. Will update here. Most of CP is starting available in Malaysia.

There is no CP that will eat up all mosquito.


There is CP competition in Penang from Next week onward for 1 week at Botanical Garden. For those interested, please go there and have a look. And there is CP for sale and show as well!!!!


Added on May 29, 2009, 6:41 pmLast time, I had promise to give plant to who ar? Please PM me again!!!! Thanx...


Added on May 31, 2009, 7:25 amHorndevil,

Reply from my friend:
What he said is correct.....it is about 8-9km from Equatorial hotel if he’s coming from Tapah entrance.

Just look out for the Tea Shop on the left, road to YG Park is on the right.

Turn right, follow the dirt road for about 100m...YG Park is on your right.

But YG isn’t really open to public. He can say he is from CP Forum lah & try. They have lots of neps.....sarra about 4-5 types, sundews & VFT & pings depend on stock. But, usually they got.

I mean, I use sphagnum moss as substrate. It does produce pitchers.. but they will dry up and die in matter of days!
I din't fertilize them and I hang it just outside my house.

Bro,
I am no expert in pitcher plants but a real newbie. However, I noticed that my plants are growing well in "burnt" clay soil that they sell in the nurseries. Just have to keep it moist.

As to the pitchers drying up, I normally pour some water into the pitchers. This keeps the pitchers nice and round and hydrated.
I do fertilise the plants with "osmocoat"; some sort of fertiliser sold at the nurseries for indoor plants. Just keep them at the fringes of the pot and not anywhere near the plant.

The occasional ant or winged termite in the pitchers does wonders to its well being. Would think not to use insects like flies or cockroaches though! brows.gif

Here's my pitcher plants pics:

heh, i thought you're interested in mosquito control.

U. aurea literally traps mosquito larvae.

Some keepers living in the northern hemisphere reported that they are not really effective, but there was a research in India that more or less described aquatic Utricularias as biological control agent.

you judge smile.gif

Thanks Casey!! The primuliflora managed to send up plantlets from the leaves, so hope to get more plants from there..The adelae and all other Droseras you gave me I shifted them into terrariums already. Here they are:

The adelae. It looks a bit strange, like the leaves are drooping and heavy. Is this normal?

Aliciae, a mound of dewy leaves. Well, not so dewy lately. But the leaves close on stuck prey.

You can propagate D. adelae by using leaf cutting. Cut the leaf, laying it flat on top of sphagnum moss, make sure the sphagnum moss is wet. Cover the pot to raise humidity. You can soap adelae leaf in fresh water as well.

Beside that, read in somewhere in internet said that, D. adelae can propagate using root cutting as well. Means, cut off mother plant root and plant it. Then, plantlet will grow from root. I never try it yet

Im not sure what causing the plantlet die. I only will replant those plantlet when their size reach 1.5inch +. Most of time, I just left it be and didn’t replant it.
