FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

I am considering ordering bulk Aldrovanda but I need to know if there's any interest before making the purchase.
The cost would be $5 each or if you buy 5 or more $4 each. Shipping would be $8.
USA only of course.
The more people who can commit to this, the more likely I am to to it.
I would place the order in about 2 weeks, giving you time to set the habitat up well in advance.
Please comment below with how many youd like if you are interested.
Thanks.

I'm down for five plants, count me in as your customer #1, Ultra Premier Platinum Godlike status (my ego won't allow for anything less).

Again, down for 5 here.

I would love to do this, but I have no idea how to care for Aldrovanda!

In the original thread, Shore linked a pretty good thread for cultivation in a 5 gallon bucket like you'd get from Lowe's or wherever. I'll re-link it here but the gist seemed to basically be thick layer of peat sediment + small amount of random pond water (microfauna culture starter) + companion plants (reeds, cattails, aquatic utrics, water lettuce, etc) to balance out the nitrogen level. There's also at least one fairly detailed care guide on this forum I've found before on google.

I wonder if I could put a fish or two in there?

Just a little information

what type of water parameters does this plant like? I am kind of locked to 7.2PH hard water to keep my animal life happy.

The first link on the post above yours goes into a pretty detailed description of that. For example:

Aldrovanda can grow well within the pH range of 4.0-7.8, the optimum being between 6.0-7.2.

Put me down for 5 plants, If paypal is ok.

to much time has passed

PayPal friends and family works, otherwise is a +$1.50 upcharge

Friday I am going to take a pH test of my water and if it's good I'll order

can it ship in 100f+ heatwaves?

Hey guys. I have not forgotten about this. But I can't get my habitat right.
