Hi
I been growing darlingtonia californica
For 5 years now
At first after reading every ones experience I was put of at first due to people saying there are hard to look after.
People said you have to water from above a couple of times a day to keep roots cool
I noticed a couple of points that the plant did not like
1st was getting repotted every year
The plant seem to sulk so I decided to repot every two years.
I use irish spagnun moss peat and perlite mix
I do not cool plants roots down with cold water
Due to my hours I work am unable to do that
So the past 5 year my plants are just kept in a water tray and topped up when needed
My plant are flourishing
Need to spit plant this year
