Hey y’all, I’m brand new to carnivorous plants. I’ve almost purchased those big box store flytraps a few times, but they always look so sad. Anyway, I like a challenge, so I thought I would start by trying to grow something from the seed bank. I currently grow mostly succulents, Meyer lemons and cacti indoors, and I had my first actual garden last year, all grown from seed. The lemons and cacti are from seed as well.
I know carnivorous plants need completely different conditions than anything else I grow, so that is going to be a very big learning curve, but I’m excited to give it a try. I’m so glad I found this forum to help me out!
I live up north somewhat near Fargo, where it regularly gets below -30F, and the snow stays several feet deep all winter (except this year; thank you El Niño!). The summers here are short and hot, with long days. Average humidity in the summer, dry as a bone in the winter. So my plants will probably have to be indoors most of the time.
Can’t wait to get to know y’all and your plants!
