FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Ok, to start on a sad note, the Mirror mimic did not make it at all. I did my best but the leaves all died, there was no new growth and the rhizomes all turned to mush. .

The Angelwings mimic has grown some new traps but they do not look like angelwings at all, it looks like a typical; no deformities in the trap shape or leaf shape.

Needless to say, I am going to have to revise my grow list.

Oh, by the way, I'm planning on growing a big ol' pot of seed growns next year. I see that the flytrap store still has seeds available; if I were to buy some seeds, would I be able to store them until next year, or should I plant them and start growing them this month, or should I just wait until next year to buy the seeds?

I just updated my grow list .

Tyler and I too got our stater plants from lowes. Our purp looks just like yours actually except it is starting to turn a little red and veiny. it had two pitchers but one had a lot of rot so we had to cut it we also have 3 typical vfts and another pitcher plant with no pitchers yet.

Great. For some reason every time I go to Lowes I end up at the orchid section where they keep the carnivorous plants. I've gotten flytraps(dormant), a purp(dormant), sundews(not doing too well at the moment), nepenthes(doing pretty good), and a pinguicula(doing alright). It's been a great place to try out new plants and, along with this awesome forum, learn about cultivation and care.

Good luck to you and Tyler with your plants!!

I added Paradisia, Justina Davis, P. planifolia, a couple typical flytraps, and a sarr leuco hybrid!
