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?

QUOTE(caseyhoo @ Apr 14 2009, 10:36 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. 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..
