Hello everyone!

Thanks so very much to the creator of the forum and for everyone who contributes!  I look forward to being a part of this community and helping where I can.  Although I am a beginner when it comes to raising carnivorous plants, I have put in quite a bit of time, research, handwork, and dedication to the effort.  Right now I am focusing on Venus Fly Traps... you can see my starting "nursery" setup in the photos (sorry for the blurriness.)  There are about 14 plants with multiple traps on them - which I've raised from seed - and they are about 4 months old now.  Their little traps are sooo cute, and I can't wait until they grow larger!  I hope to also expand and sometime soon begin growing sarracenia and/or drosera.  One of my dreams, as well, is to have a small greenhouse and grow the amazing cephalotus!

Looking forward to sharing this passion for CP's with you all,

Rhys Ki

Welcome to the Forum!

You're starting with quite a challenge there, congratulations.

Raising FlyTraps from seed to maturity will taker several years.
Seedling FlyTraps do not have the resiliency to survive mistakes in cultivation.

So far, yours are looking good.

Matt, the Admin here, has put up some good informational pages about growing VFTs.

Good growing,
Mike
