Hi everyone! New ish to carnivorous plants but not new to rare plants (aroids, Hoyas, and tropical fruit trees). Currently have mostly drosera and pings. Will happily donate seeds if I can ever get my dang Adelae (or others) to seed!

I downsized a lot but still have passionfruit, achacha, calamansi, mango, a baby purple mangosteen plant, and lemon mangosteen. I also have Jiro persimmon, a couple fig varieties, native blueberry and raspberry bushes, and alpine strawberries.

That's a great point! I am just limited on propagation space at the moment.

Got 3 square inches of space? You could start some sundews in a small cup...or if you felt froggy and wanted to go ahead and invest for the future you could start a six-inch pot-full of flytraps.

Whatever the case, welcome to the forum...there's a great bunch of folks here. And the main thing to remember, no matter what....have fun!!!! :D

Most of my sundews are started in cups... Usually my winter growing space for seedlings is limited to a 1 sq foot windowsill

it was my passion about 20 years ago. I even had mamey sapote fruiting here on the East Coast of FL. Mostly have huge mango trees now, amd squirrels that mess up the fruit. Many, if not all, of my annona squamosa didn't make it. I still have some tamarind, sapodilla, lychee, and miracle fruit.
