FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Dang lol!

Well I have some stuff that might work, but I only have like 3 plants left I think that aren’t hybrids unfortunately. So back to the drawing board. I don’t suppose btw that #6 can be something you bought from the fly trap store forums? I’m guessing not, but I figured it doesn’t hurt to ask

So here’s I think my best shot (which isn’t really saying much lol, I might steal a bit off one of my mom’s plants to start growing so I have more options hahaha)
Meet my only pinguicula! This is Artemis, and she used to have a Cyclosecta pal, but I unfortunately lost it when I failed to realize that it had a teeny bit of water in the tray for a couple of days. Art is a Pinguicula Ehlersiae, and she is the plant I have had the longest.

She is great for a house that had an extra big lot of tomatoes this year because she’s a wicked little gnat catcher. If you like having a plant inside to suck up insects then this is definitely the plant for you!
This plant is great for people who don’t necessarily have a lot of room indoors but still wants to enjoy their plants! It’s very very space efficient for that. Look at how tiny and cute it is next to a dime!

I can just give this a little drink of distilled water every few days, and I keep it under a little Sansei lamp, and it’s good to go!

By all accounts I believe it should be beginning to look a bit different over the winter time. It’s supposed to turn white (although it might stay pink under a grow light), and it should look more like a succulent which is another type of plant that I’m going to try to grow soon.

I guess I thought we could enter a challenge a couple of times. Yikes my bad??

Ah, I'll be more specific in the future. To make things fair, let's keep this one limited to 1. There will be similar challenges coming up

It's all good. This is a great giveaway. I've had to pivot when my original idea had a few bumps and hiccups
I'm still playing because it's so fun to see the next challenge more than winning. I like to participate

Challenge #6: I bought this beauty when FTS had their International Carnivorous Plant Day sale. Free Shipping. I love this plant as it arrived with the tallest pitcher being 32" and is still going strong although it is going dormant.

I know it is not required but here is a link to the review I left.

Challenge #7 posted, see first page.

My goldfish plant

Challenge #7. These are my seedling Cobra lily's. Best pic I can get for now. My 4 year old died from freezing last season and I have yet to replace. I unfortunately do not have a Cobra in the area at this time.
Note: They are all currently pouting due to recently being transplanted to their current pots.

This is my pool and water barrel where I am starting to grow Duckweed. I suspect they will multiply come Spring time.

well.... this technically counts, but duckweed was the example I gave i think you can be more creative than that

That was the first I thought of when mentioned! Sorry. Will keep looking for another to post but not sure I have anything else.

You are correct. However, my large one froze last winter and never recovered. I am considering replacing but I do have some seedlings. Should I replace my original or just add?

Whichever you like! Bonus if you can get the actual animal to pose for a pic with your plant
