nice..i like it,but doesnt have chance to keep it..

eee... Nowsaday, some nursery may have it for sale...

they are easy to take care...

Just give them a lots of water and a lots of sunlight... Thats it!!!!

I kept VFT 'shark teeth' before but it died. I think not enough sunlight and too moist.

wow where to keep. I always wanted 1. The venus fly traps.

Dang, always wanted to keep some sundews. Nice plants u've there !

phew~~
they are consider as pets too
haha~~
COOL~

bizen, moist suppose is not the main reason it die. I keep all my VFT with water tray and direct sunlight from 9am till 2pm. They may go for dormancy if critical change of wheather.

Jamien, you can get it from some nursery or I can spare some plant for you as well if you are interested.

leetplayer, sundew is nice!!! I like sundew, VFT and sarrasenia. Nowsaday is my hunting days... Looking for new sp. here and there...

geo, yea... it is PETS!!! Because, I will feed them with blood worm!!!!

wah..really2 interesting
where it is available for sale?
i think my area not have this kind of 'Carnivourous Plants'

hi, i'm totally zero in this knowledge.
wat happened if my finger touched their trap? will they bite me? r their teeth strong? they feed on anything as long as flesh?

haha..dun worry
their 'teeth' not strong laa
just strong enough to trap fly or mosquito

im v interested in these plants, esp my trip 2 cameron recently!

saw lots of sp. of carnivor plants n they looked fascinating, somthing diff lor

anyway, i was worried dat time if i buy it back it will not last bcoz of diff temp.

I got a VFT last time, but it didnt survive

i dun think easy to take care right???

how to jaga these plants?

most importantly ... how to feed them? bit strange request though ... but i dun know how ppl take care of these type of plants

i think it is not suitable for normal temp. laa
suitable for highland area..maybe

hey anyone know where to buy these plants in malaysia...

just do some research on its habitat, it will be easy to keep it

but anyone know where to buy ? or anyone owned it?

for seed..i found it at ebay.com long time ago

cool, nice thread appeard. caseyhoo, y dont u do some intro of the plants?

wanted to get, but scared die... they are too nice to die in my hands due to my curiosity so dint get... hahaha

xtreme_paranoid, where are you? You can get it from Sg. Buloh nursery. Or you can get it from some hobbyist as well. If interested, I can spare some to you as well. Most of CP can tahan hot temperature, especially drosera, VFT and sarrasenia. If you sit side by side with my plant at my garden for half an hour, you may get sunburn!!!! I stay at Ampang area.


Ah_Chuan, you refer to venus fly trap (VFT), right? Those teeth are not hard. But, it is strong enough to trap insect that pass by the trap and touch 2 of their sensor. We can feed blood worm, or any insect that can fit to their trap.


toda6866, so you got any CP from there? If you got plant from there, don’t worry; slowly expose it to more sun. If can, pack it in transparent plastic beg and open it slowly everyday so that it can adopt to yours environment. If you know where is YG Park. You must pay them a visit. The best is, u know people inside the nursery. They able bring u to their huge CP nursery!!!! It is size of football field!!! Last month, my friend just went there. Here is the photo…


xecton, try it again!!!! They r not as hard as you think. Many nurseries will tell you, keep in shade. Because most of our CP is from YG Park, Cameroon Highland. For all VFT, actual way to grow them is, give them as much as light as you can. And make sure the media is always wet. Oh ya, for CPs, don’t fertilizer it. Don’t use garden soil. Fertilizing CP is only for those very confident and has extra plant to try.


ReBeLLioN, you are wrong… Most of them are easy, except for those rare or those need cooler temperature. For VFT, sarrasenia, and drosera, just give them a water tray. Give it alots of sunlight. That’s it… Don’t need fertilizer them. Top up water for the water tray, and do water change weekly to avoid mosquito larvae breed inside it.


Serpentarius, actually, didn’t feed them is not a problem. They still will do well in open garden without feeding. If yours place have a lots of insect, yours CP will growing great even without feeding them. For sure, if feed them, they will grow nicer and bigger and faster. But, don’t overfeed, ya!!!! And don’t simply feed them with anything. Sometime, it may kill the plant too.


Zhunky, there is 3 main source for thse type of PET. 1st some nursery, 2nd hobbyist and 3rd import from oversea.

Yea, you can easily get those seeds from oversea.

jcmf, I will try my best to intro the plant 1 by 1. Hope my broken English explain what I try to say...

This type of PETS is exotic and easy to take care... Sorry for reply in lousy English. Hope you all don’t mind.

Im only can reply yours post at night... In here, working cannot simply simply serve net. But, I still can know what you posted in here from email... hehe... Then, I will write down the reply and reply alll together at once...

Added on April 1, 2009, 6:14 amVenus Fly Trap

So far, the most attracted Carnivorous plant is VFT, right? Hehe…. Yea, it is most common know and most attractive CP. Inside their trap, there are 3 sensors at left and right of trap. Once 2 of them is touch, the trap will close. But, each leaf only can open and close for 3 ~4 times only. Once exceed, the leaf and trap will dried and turn black. So, don’t simply play play… hehe…

VFT is 1 of most easy keep CP. Just make sure the media is always wet and expose it to strong light as you can. Don’t worry, you may get sunburn, but, they will not. In order to make sure the media is always wet, you can provide them a water tray by put yours VFT pot inside some container that have some water inside it. Water level is around 1/4 of yours VFT pot.

There are many varieties of VFT. From green color, to melon color, yellowish green, pink color. Their teeth also have many forms, from normal teeth, to shark teeth, saw teeth, long teeth. Trap size and looks also have many forms. Each VFT will cost RM15 ~ RM200 as well… It is depends on their size and rarity.

VFT may go for dormancy if sudden change of climate (seldom). If they r go for dormancy, leaf will be shorter and wider. Beside that, their trap also will close slowly if compare with those normal plant. We just need to put it at bright place and give them dryer media. Repot it after 2months… Some said, we need to put them on sleep and rest yearly… But, I didn’t do so…. So far, so good.

Added on April 1, 2009, 6:20 amhuh... My new post will combine with existing post?

This post has been edited by caseyhoo: Apr 2 2009, 06:04 AM

caseyhoo, no i din get any CP from there, as d reason stated earlier, i rather go to nurseries in SG. Buloh or nearby PJ (coz I stay in PJ) so dat i can confirm they can survive here at lowlands... still not sure how well they can survive under my care

actually, I have another reason y im so interested with it, I hav a garden full of insects (mosquitoes alot oso la) so I was hoping if CPs can feed on those pests n i dun hav 2 get bitten so much when i go there...

biology weapon?

Halo KC you r here haha

mine all die liao sob sob..

Really!?!? The place where I put is shady areas. It will only get alot of sunlight during morning and abit of sunlight in the afternoon since it is shady. Maybe lack of sunlight?

I bought it for RM 40++ and it didnt even last for a month. The lady from d nursery actually told me not to give it sunlight and not so much water as it may destroy the roots?! Gosh.. Im so devastated cuz I love it very much.. esp the VFT... so TS can distribute some to us?! Hehehe!

Use CP to get rid of insects is not a good idea… Because, CP will attracted insect to them and eat them… You MAY end up with more insect. toda6866, yours insect may decrease because it is eaten by CP and you will still constantly get some insect in yours garden.

How I wish my place have so many insect for my CPs…. 

I purposely put some fruit nearby my CPs to attract more fruit flies.

Hi there, you are here as well!!! Yours CP die because of what ar?

Sound like the place suppose is ok. Even the plant may not do that well but, I don’t think that is the reason why it dies. Yours previous VFT’s media is always wet?

RM40++, where you got it and what it is? It is a cephalotus? If cephalotus, yes, it dont like too many water and prefer cool place to grow well, especially their root need cool temperature... it is not a easy take care plant....


Drosera
Drosera, also know as sundew. They hate any insect that stand on top of their body. That’s why they produce sticky dew at their leaf to glue insect!!!! Then digest it!!!! Some drosera’s leaf may bend towards their food. And some even show the movement within an hour!!!

For me, personally, I try not to lets rain hit my sundew (especially those rare and sp. that I just have 1 or 2). Because, sundew will need energy to produce those dews. And it will weaker the plant. But, some hard sundew can explore to rain, like D. spatulata, D. intermedia, D. paradoxa.

There are many types of drosera and hybrid. From those laying flat at media, leaf will grow upward, the whole plant grow tall, size from 5cent to 10cm wide… Some of them will go for dormancy, but, I found that, we can leave it and don’t worry about it. They will wake up from dormancy after sometime.

To grow them using water tray methods as well, water level is from ¼ to 1/3 of yours CP pot. Most of drosera like direct sunlight.

This post has been edited by caseyhoo: Apr 8 2009, 02:19 AM

Nice plants you got there casey. I'm interested with sundews, are there any that are suitable for indoor with not much sunlight?

Can provide some guide on how to keep them? Maybe best location that might carry such plants?

I had pitcher plant few yr back. It also died slowly even I took care.
I like the last few pics of pitcher plant(what's it called?). I saw it at m.valley for sale but didn't buy it cos i's going to be away.
If anyone know where else i can get in PJ area, let me know..thx

Can VFT be survive as window side(only indirect sun) table plant?

This post has been edited by mkmt: Apr 8 2009, 05:36 PM

To keep it indoor, most of CP is not suitable. If you still wan to do so, you still can keep it by provide them suitable light. Light that use for water plant is suitable for them. But, not dare to confirm how many watts you need to make yours plants grow well. Because I didn’t grow it indoor yet. For a 2ft tank with a 36W PLL suppose is sufficient for yours plant grow well. You still need to try it then, you will know.

Where to get drosera… emmm… I have extra D. intermedia ‘cuba’ and D. binata if you are interested, probably will have D. paradoxa. Beside that, you can try http://forum.petpitcher.com, buy and sell section. That forum admin by Malaysian and you can find many Malaysian CPer in there. Beside that, you may consider import seeds from oversea. But, for CPs, their growing rate is really slow. For drosera, it need around 5~6 months to reach adult size. VFT even slower!!!! It needs 1.5 years to reach matured. So far, the slowest is Sarrasenia seeds that I first try, it takes me 6months and just 1cm tall!!!! PENING… Just started to feed those sarra plantlet with bloodworm juice and hope it will grow faster.


For the pitcher plant. May I know did you keep it at shaded place? That is most people thought, even nurseries tell the same thing. Most of them normally need 50% shade place. Some of nepenthes even can tolerance with direct sun light, but, their leaf may have orange/brown color patches that it didn’t harm the plant. Im still learning how to keep nepenthes, I just started, especially those small size and look nice and most important  cheap.

Last few pics is sarrasenia. They need strong light and a lot of water. Below is introduction on it. Every Saturday and Sunday, you can swing in to Subang Parade flea market, there is a store opened by Fauzi that selling CPs fulltime. Here is his website. http://www.dapat.net/moblog.aspx?member=4ZEPLANT

i have a question here..if we keep some protected sp., i mean this carnivorous plant la,do we need a license?

eeeee... not really sure about this ler...

because i think some of them protected and endemic here..if u wan to sell it,especially to foreigners,better be careful and better not(i hate to sell something endemic and native here to foreigners).but this is what i like with hobbyist,sometimes we contribute on conserving them by keeping them and 'breed' them.if i am conservationist, one of the strategy to save some endangered species is to attract the interest of hobbyist.so plant can be conserve and produced more until it no longer become endangered.for example,Alocasia melo,not carnivorous plant, but one time become endangered because of habitat destruction(logging in borneo).but fortunately this plant has really unique look,some scientist decide to bring it as ornamental plant..from a few plant available in herbarium,it become a lot and u can even find them in ace hardware sometimes,ha3. this is what wildlife department duwan to see..LOL..

This post has been edited by slackerz: Apr 15 2009, 01:19 AM

Casey, could you tell me whats the best substrate to use to keep them? I got my wild Nepenthes . sp(M) which I planted it on peat moss and it doesn't seem to do well with it. I keep it outdoors and water it daily. Any ideas?

This post has been edited by leetplayer: Apr 15 2009, 01:58 AM

Sounds like tough plant for a beginner like me. Maybe I'll search for something more suitable and come back for your advice. Thanks alot, for saving a plant from dying under my care. Haha..

nice vft LOL .. didn;t know there a post for it til now LOL

here is one of mine

since early this year LOL

all above are soo nice..i must getting one for me lah..

Thanx… got it. Sometime, hobbyist will go to wild and collect those plant from their habitat till they cannt found in natural environment. Sad about that.



Im not really 100% sure which is the best. But, I didn’t hear that use peat moss to keep it. So far, media that normally use are sphagnum moss, or coconut chips. Some nepenthes even growing nice in burnt soil.

The plant produce pitcher? Personally as a nep newbie, if my plant produce pitcher in each leaf, I will very happy liao…

Did you fertilizing yours plant? Where you keep it? Most of nepenthes like 50% shade environment place. Some sp. is not a easy plant.

Hehe… it is easy if you know the way… Keep it outside is easier if compare with keep it indoor. For nepenthes, you can grow them in balcony that receive morning sun.


You have VFT as well!!!! You grow them from seeds? How big are those plants? What is VFT RG? Where you got yours plant? I’m looking for sp. that I don’t have.

caseyhoo,i already registered at that forum..really nice forum indeed.but i forgot to refer ur name as someone introduce me to that forum,sorry..

wow..heard about these plants b4 but din know got in malaysia..haha..

realy interested in the VFT plant..many flies in my kitchen.. jk..wat type of soils do we need to use for VFT anyway ?

This post has been edited by Vanda: Apr 16 2009, 10:36 AM

NOPE .. MINE ARE FROM TISSUE CULTURE

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.

casey,
i still like d idea of letting nature deal its cause. i hav lot of space around my garden so, got lots of plants n of coz, mosquitoes. Whenever i feed my rabbits, blardy mosquitoes all come sting me like vampires

btw, my rabbits r kept in a shaded area, so i tot put those CPs at the shaded area beside my rabbit cage, of coz away from rabbits reach so they wont try 2 eat it... actually, im a bit worried oso will rabbits get bitten by d vampires.... so if i hav CPs, its a plus point since small animals are v super sensitive 2 smells so i cant use other ways of catching mosquitoes

so comes back this question, which type of CP is a bit hardy n beginner's plant? n where do u get it.... thks

This post has been edited by toda6866: Apr 16 2009, 04:21 PM

how do u feed dis plants??
or they eat by themselves??
nicela..
very interesting plant....
normally how much?

Guys, anyone of you if you happen to grow Monkey Cup plants or NEPENTHES, a STRONG NOTE here. There are few varieties which attract tree shrew (or Squirrels, as many prefer to call it, although they are not true squirrels) to bite and tear on them, especially the RED ones!! Take no risk by putting them on the floor (hang the plants). I've already been declaring an all-out war on them ever since they mass-massacre the plant pitchers. All-out war = trapping them in cage traps and sending them off to another part of town.

Wah,ts almost poisoned me with the beauty of these plants.I have no idea where to get it or i dont knoe the pricing either.Asked some nurseries around and they dont have.

wow... very interest leh... know where can i get it from kepong area???
is it expensive??? cus i m still a student...
interest the VFT

This post has been edited by louisfjh: Apr 18 2009, 10:44 PM

IC… in order for yours pitchers to last longer, humidity is the most important. Low Humidity and winy place causing the pitcher dry faster.

IC… if that case, I think, Pinguicula is a good idea. And their flower is really looks nice. But, it didn’t always flower lar… P. primuliflora and P. x sethos are easy take care plant. P. primuliflora need water tray. But P. x sethos don’t need. I have extra P. primuliflora, but not P. x sethos.
http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c139/cas...es/IMG_1578.jpg

Sometime you can found P. sethos at Sg. Buloh too…


Don’t need to feed also can. Because, they will digest insect/fauna that fall in to their trap.
Nepenthes, sarrasenia – fall into their pitcher and cannot go out
Pinguicula, Sundew – sticky glue that will stick insect/fauna
VFT – leaf that have trap attached to it, once the sensor is touch, the trap will close

But, if you want yours plant grow faster/nicer. Feed lar… I normally feed it when im free. Price ar… emmm… Depends on sp. lor… from RM10~RM800. Depends on rarity. D. intermedia ‘cuba’ will cost RM15+-. Shark teeth VFT bigger then 50cent will cost rm15. Typical VFT with the same size will cost rm8. Sarrasenia from YG will cost rm20+. Nepenths will cost rm20+ as well. Some nice nepenthes, just 4inches, will cost rm30+

You can feed CPs with blood worm or death insect or live insect if you can catch any… then, put it on their trap. That’s all…

Huh… I never know that!!! If it happen to those nepenthes lover, it really a war!!!! Kill Kill Kill!!!! So far, I declared war with mouse and grasshopper. Grasshopper no more… But, mouse still will play with the CPs media… dig out media and CP also out from the pot!!!! Sad sad sad…


You know TS, a senior CPer ? Cool!!! He have a lots of nice VFT!!! Some vft’s teeth is looks difference from others!!! Especially "Fused Tooth", “Fang tooth” and “Cupped trap”… it is $$$ as well!!!

For Mexican Ping. you can grow it by leaf pulling. Means, pull leaf from mother plant and laying the leaf flat. For P. primuliflora, plantlet will automatically grow from leaf... At the end, too many!!!!

Those wanna to know details about CP, you can post it here... Hope every one enjoy CP... And become CPer... Actually CP is not a expensive hobby. Some CP will lose their color when we grow them lowland. Because, most of our CP in market is from YG park (cameroon).

Here's some of my CP collection. They come in different colors shapes and sizes!

Alvin, that are nice plant you have there... Hope you enjoy it... BTW, you can grow them in yours balcony if yours car pouch didnt receive many sunlight...

Thanks Casey, the plants are receiving morning sun and bright afternoon shade at the moment. FYI I live in a single storey house, so the only place I can grow them is at my front porch.

Whoops! Accidentally used my cousin's nick for posting

Haha this is my ID Casey! 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 Dunno why it happen. Yesterday stupid neighbour cat came and spoilt my D paradoxa from David. I'm gonna keep the one I'm getting from you indoors to avoid this happening.

owh god.. i'm poisoned!

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!

can anyone introduce a plant that eat up all the mosquito in my room. can pm me about it tyvm

I nid a plant that can "wipe out" all the mosquitoes and scuttle flies in my house.Any idea which plant ideal for it?

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.


Im here to split the poison… MISSION DONE!!!

BTW, I had promise to whom for FOC plant? Im not really re-call it. Sorry for that… Need to trace back my PM, email…

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!!!!

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.

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!

Here's my pitcher plants pics:



Think this is Rafflesiana



This I am not sure of the species.



My weak Venus Fly trap that I think is Shark Teeth.

Hope to learn more on the TLC of the Venus Fly Traps and Sundews that I hope to acquire!

Leetplayer, yours nepenthes is so healthy!!! Im not sure about the 1st nepenthes, but, 2nd nepenthes is N. maxima.

That VFT is typical VFT

hi friend.... i here to join ur all
let make this thread happening ^^

Any CP for sale?I'm looking for 1...

you can get this Utricularia for absolutely FOC

Lol...i prefer VFT or sundews.

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

Will think about it...
Now major problem r scutttle flies and ants..
Thx ya

fantastic.. joining the club..!!

long live these amazing plants..

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:


Lumped everything into the 1 ft x 1ft terrarium.

The sundews from you. The D paradoxa is doing ok now. It's such a healthy plant! Thanks!

Twin Cephs.

The intermedia Cuba, now dewing heavily.

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.

Hey camillenoir,u knw where to get FOC Ultricularia?

those aquatic cp can easily be found in clogged up waterways, ponds and lakes.

maybe you could look up at any lakes near you
