FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

So I finally found a fb group for NZ cp fiends and omg some of them have some beauties!
I'm more of a casual cp grower myself.
Anyway, I'm keen on preserving native plants of all kinds so managed to get some baby drosera that are pretty common but native here anyway. Also got a baby Sarr leucophylla and a baby Miranda - cos hey, why not hehe D. Binata
D. Auriculata and a NZ spatulata
new Sarr and Miranda and for good measure a rescue nep- prob ventrata already pitchering.
Ok thanks for reading, any tips or tricks welcome!!! Ps our sphagnum moss is really good

I'm always extremely jealous of people with falls-early springs that aren't too mild but aren't too cold so that they can grow tuberous Drosera outdoors. Then again, I would have to use fridge dormancy for my temperate Pings.

Hehe it's pretty temperate in Auckland. We have Drosera all over the place. Cape sundews are a pest here so the council wants people to pull them out! Haha. I haven't obtained any pings yet!

It gets a bit too cold in our winters to grow tuberous Drosera outdoors, also probably a little bit too cloudy too often.

We're just coming into summer .. Well, late spring and it's always raining but still sunny. Very NZ weather. Drosera and Cephs are loving it and just starting to sprout up again !
