Anyone want to sell/trade Sarracenia Minor?

UPDATE: I found an appropriate-sized one on eBay that I just received today.

I've decided this is the first Sarracenia I will attempt to grow. I'm looking for one at least 3 years old.

Check out my grow list.
I mainly have VFT: Jaws; FTS Maroon Monster; Red/Purple, and green Sphagnum moss, to trade.

If you don't find one via this thread you can contact Mike Wang. I put the link to his sales thread below. I've ordered from Mike more times than I can count. His plants are in phenomenal condition and his packaging and shipping is top notch. He has pictures of most of his plants but if there is something specific you're looking for just email him and he'll help you out.

I'll give it a day. Thanks for the link. Those prices are too high for me though!
I have my eye on one on eBay, so might get that if there is no interest.

I hear ya. I don't know your price range but the S. minor from Old Dock, NC that he sells only run $10-$15.

Mine will likely need dividing this fall so if you happen to have not found one by then let me know and you can have a division. I just ask for shipping costs which are $5-$6.

Thanks for the offer. I would gladly pay you for a division (I'll PM you). I could also use 2 plants, in case one dies since it's my first attempt at Sarracenias.

I just bought one yesterday from eBay for $21 total which includes shipping. It is about 4 years old, so I think that is fairly reasonable.

you can just grow them like you do flytraps.

They like to be slightly wetter than VFTs (if you're not already putting your VFTs in water trays)

Minors like to be drirer then other sarrs, so grow them like a flytrap :)

I hope your plant comes good, i had some bad expriences with ebay before :(

I recomoned mike wang. I bought a large minor old dock various clone, and i got a clone D. Plus mike also tends to throw in a freebie plant as well. The total was 21, including shipping, here are pics of it

I accidentally got a minor from BugBitingPlants and i got it growing like i do my others. I was hoping to a Sarr. purpurea ssp. purpurea, but i keep get rosea. but my minor is doing great. i have mine in a six inch pot with my flytraps, standing in 4 inches of water.
