FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

This is an off the wall question so don't make fun of me. Can you cross pollinate two carnivorous plants together. For instance, can you cross pollinate a venus fly trap with a sundew? If this is impossible... I would like to know your dream plant. Can pollinate with non-carnivorous plants.

Hint... check out my avatar

Hi Crispy, Unfortunatly the answer is no, you can not cross pollinate two different species of carnivorous plants. This would be like trying to cross a dog with a cat. If I could mix two plants togeather, I would mix N. rajah with some thing like D. "Red Dragon" and have a Napenthese with bright red leaves and pitchers with snapping mouths on them.
Hope this helps, Pat

I would cross a Wacky trap and a Sundew making lots of mouths on the Sundew.

I would mix a Rose with Dragon plant so it would "bleed red" and mix that with a Sundew so it gets that sparkle.
