hello... got to know this forum from bro casey. recently got very poisoned by his nepenthes.

大家请多多指教！

hey guys, I have some questions about the plants

Firstly, is it ok to use tap water left to sit for 24 hours? or must use rainwater?

Secondly, must the soil be in direct contact with water in the dish below? or should it be propped up?

Thirdly, has anyone here tried keeping the small ones like D. burmanii in a closed/partially closed terrarium? I have a large kicap bottle that I have no use for, just thought I'd try it out.

gonna get a couple of sundews tomorrow!

use tap water for all my cp with no problem

depending on species actually, if sundew, a water tray(pot sit on tray filled with water around half the pot height) under full sun is good

For Burmanii, I fail to keep them well under bright condition but they blossom under full sun...but given up on drosera as I found them grow like weed once establish, went into VFT instead

thanks for the info!

how come this thread seems inactive for some time ?
come on guys ~ bring the CPs trend alive again ~
i just goin to start this new interest ~
now still waiting to get my CPs from seller =D

just got my very 1st CPs from winterkid this morning

can this plant can kill all the mosquitoes? lol

because when I were studying primary school.. teacher said this plant can eat up all the mosquitoes.. lol..

It digest mosquito that are traps on it, it does not "hunt"

Simple clue for the misconception of carnivorous plant: Active/Passive

ACTIVE:
-approaching style like hunt, i.e. a cat hunt a rat

PASSIVE:
-waiting style like trap, i.e. mouse trap that are placed for a rat to fall victim to, it does not go for the mouse but rather attract the mouse to fall for it

Carnivorous plants are PASSIVE killer, they do not move around to look for it's prey but rather attract it's prey to fall for it

How to purchase Vft???

Hi guys, new in cp here, just got one unknown neps from cameron today, my best bet is its a N.ventricosa red x ovata, any comment?
