Hey guys I was wondering if there were any eddy growers here and if there are how do you guys grow your eddy?I've heard some say they like being grown as intermediates some say they like highland conditions so i would really appreciate some input thank you!

I have an eddy. I grow it in highland conditions. I have only had it since July but it seems to be doing well. It is the size of a half dollar, so I have a looooong way to go.

If you get one, please do not go through SouthBay traps. I got mine from there and then learned that they have a murky reputation around poaching eddys.

My comment was edited, so I will just say make sure to research your supplier to ensure that your plant isn't the result of poaching.

My supplier actually has a very great reputation in the carnivorous plant community and ill be disclosing their info when I secure the plant for you guys to go on and check them out!I am very happy to see it does fine in highland /intermediate conditions and from what others say the plant isn't picky at all so I'm super stoked!

And if you are by any chance referring to south bay traps I can assure you I'm not as I've heard a good deal of horror stories about them

$350 for a TC Eddie is pretty insane IMO. I got my SG plant for $325 and it was almost 3" across when it arrived. As for care, it has been a slow but consistent grower in intermediate/highland conditions. I've noticed that temperatures below 55 at night really slow its growth, it seems much happier in the 57-60 range.
