Hey everyone! My name is Kyle.

Really enjoy carnivorous plant's. I joined another forum and unfortunately it had very inactive users.

I have been growing venus fly traps for several years. I lose them to rhizome rot each winter. But I have learned my lesson after losing 20 mature VFT's.

Next winter I am buying a refrigerator and putting it in the garage, dedicating the entire thing to plant dormancy. I have a grow lightbI will even run as well.

Well currently I have an Adrian Slack sarracenia, Drosera binata Giant sundew, and 3 plant's of B52 VFT. I already purchased 5 more B52's and they will come in February. I purchased everything online. I use 100% NZLFSM in 3 liter pots.

My eventual goal is to have a large collection of all major types of Carnivorous plant's, but it will take alot of time. Not a cheap hobby and it takes up considerable space.

Currently growing my collection in a open top aquarium with a 200 watt CFL.
