FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hey guys! My names Greg and I've recently started a CP collection and currently have some VFT's a few sundews and two nepenthes. Im eager to become a part of this community and soak up all the knowledge I can in regards to growing my addiction to horticulture with an appetite. I've kept many aquariums and reptiles as well as vivariums so I'm not a total noob when it comes to stuff like lighting and substrate, although there is much I still need to learn. I live in Santa Barbara CA and make frequent trips to LA and the surrounding areas. If theres anyone on here willing to sell (I'd rather trade but my collection right now is very limited and quite embarrassing.) in the area that would be awesome to get new plants and just to be able to shoot off a few questions to someone in person. Otherwise I'm open to buying (and eventually trading) with the online community. Sorry for writing an essay and thanks for reading. Glad to be a part of this forum. Ill post photos soon, and any advice for a newcomer would be appreciated. Thanks yall.

Welcome to the forums, Greg!

Hi and welcome, Greg!

Glad you joined Greg! Welcome

Welcome to the forum! I'm in the same boat as you I have to buy most of my plants because I don't have enough to trade yet. Just gotta start propagating!

Hey Greg! Sounds like many of us can learn from you too. There is a forum where you can connect up for trades here once you've got something you'd like to offer and I know there are several members from California here too. Welcome!
