FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hello I'm Lottie, I live in the outskirts of Bristol South West UK ....I have been interested in Carnivorous plants for a while and have had a small collection now for just over a year ....I managed to over winter them all in my Hubby's green house and have them outside the rest of the year ....but I am getting my own greenhouse now as I feel they do better in one .
I also have a few in my Sunny conservatory and these are doing well ...looking forward to learning more about the care of my plants .

Hello and welcome from Texas in the USA! Lots of helpful friendly people here and bountiful knowledge as well. Enjoy!

Hi Lottie!

Hi Toiletshorts
yes this heatwave is too much ...I'm hoping its over the worst now but I'm not holding my breath ....the water ran out and I have three large butts .... bought 25 gallons of RO water from local aquarium ....then thankfully last week we had a ton of rain in one day ...all butts full and we also filled 5 watering cans and a larger container .....luckily the CP's havent suffered

Hi Lottie
My venus flytrap (i've named him Cecil) is doing well outdoors, and my cape sundew (i've named her Luna) is looking better indoors. i've put her on a windowcill in my bathroom because it gets nice and humid in there with each shower, and it gets good sun at certain points of the day. i've fed her a spider last night muahaha.

I buy deionised water from Halfords for like 3 quid and it does the job something to consider for the next heatwave. There's meant to be 2 more heatwaves on the way this summer!!
