New member from California, I started growing an outdoor collection in 2013 up to a few years after until I got too busy to tend to them and they sadly perished. I had a few typical flytraps, a massive purple pitcher plant (ssp venosa), cape sundew, a nepenthes, and a very tall growing “cobra nest.” I believe I had some small unknown hybrid sarrs as well.

This year I started getting back into growing carnivorous plants, but this time growing indoors under full spectrum lights. My collection consists of a red dragon vft, Bill Bailey Nepenthes, Purpurea Venosa, Purpurea Purpurea, Cape sundew, Red Capesudew, and a very large Drosera graomogolensis (unsure if it has a common name). I have a fat chance rosea and an extra large Nepenthes spathulata on the way as of this being posted. King Sundew is next on my list as they are incredible. Anyways thanks for reading and that’s a little introduction to my collection.

Hi I’m in Fresno ca! It just got 106! And we are growing carnivorous plants here even outdoors, but I do shade like 10-30% till it gets below 95.
- it’s normally only 15% humidity here. So I’ve tried in the past before the book and all the you tube videos, to grow em - successfully until I did to much shade or not potted enough.
Now I’m trying to give em full sun as much as lossible. But we’ve had 2 months over 100.
