I can't wait to see what plants you nurse from Lowes

Me either. I still haven't made the trip to Lowe's to see what they've got.

I just found out that there was another Lowes right next to where i live.
When i went there all i saw was dead piles of small VFT's.

Here are some purpurea I got a Lowes about a year ago, I believe. I have them outside now for their first dormancy with me. It's kind of an experiment to see if they come back (to see if VA weather is too intense for them). I hope they do though. I want to include some in a bog garden for my dad in the spring! I think he will get a kick out of all the cp's.


The group was planted in a glass vase!

Good looking plants for coming from Lowe's.

Nice plant! But if I were you I would take the purpurea out of that vase like terrium because
sarracenia purpurea likes a lot of room to grow and all terriums tend to be a breeding ground
for algee and fungi.

Also, what are those red beads?

Very nice plant! Looks like you did a good job with it .

Yea...

I agree

Also, most carnivorous plants (including sarrcenia purpurea) can adapt very well to low humidity.
Oh, and since it's a sarracenia it likes to be in a plastic pot with a water tray at all times.

Hey,Dionae when are you going to post the ictures of your plants
you rescued from Lowes? I'm excited to see them!

On second glance,
It looks slightly eloliated.

Try giving it more light!

Still haven't been back to Lowes. Atm, it seems tissue culturing has taken a front seat to anything else . Too busy finding new items I need for that every hour.

Ok hey at your local Lowes do they sell the big plants in the big cubes or the small plants in the small cube or both?

They sell both. They even sell bulbs. I got bulbs for Christmas and they are just now starting to grow. I wouldn't recommend buying them. The plants they sell grow faster.
