Never mind about the sand I see that it the reflection of your purple window in the background that makes it look purple.

Nice to have a place where others know how I feel! He is getting so big I want to make sure he gets as big as he can! He has peat moss on top and river stones on the bottom. Saying River Stones sounds so romantic but they are from a hardware store here and many of them are pretty but not sure what river if any they ever rolled around in

I have two venosa, one love bug, two Northern purple and two Southern purple on the way. I started out with one pitcher and two VFT's now have well over 25 plants. This is the place to learn all you need to keep that handsome plant alive and thriving for years to come. I like to colored sand you have in the planter, what kind is that?

Your message was the last one on page one then I saw this! I want to have some fun looking stuff when he gets moved to a larger place in the future. For the moment this round planter is newish I just wanted to make sure the move didn't upset him too much and he's doing fine.

Von Trappe's new bebe frond! SO CUTE!
