FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

So I just receive my first Darlingtonia from a friend here on this forum , I've been doing some research on how to care for it ...I've been caring for Cp's for a year now. Some question I have are is How can I get it to grow faster I've read that in four year the pitchers can reach up to 4 cm :O thats a little small would it even be able to catch flies the one I currently have is about a year old ? I have it planted in a 4in pot with a medium i got from here top off with sphagnum moss and I'm growing it under a Grow light from Glow planet I give it about 12-14 hours of light from it.

It looks like it is a normal size. Most cps tale a while to reach there full size when grow from seed. And who have that to you.

Depends which type you want I wanted priority mail So I payed around $9.00 and it came in 2days.

From what I have read, Darlingtonia stay in their seedling pot for about 2 years. They should be planted in a larger than normal pot so the roots will stay cool. One of the troubles growers face is keeping the plant's roots cool while also giving the plant a lot of light and humidity.

I wish it grow well under leds Can't wait to see it when its bigger

From what I've read, Darlingtonia don't really need that much humidity. Focus on keeping the roots cool and give them lots of light.

I think the seedlings like the humidity and require it less and less as they mature.
