Ok, i have some Superphosphate, and i hear it's good for Pinguicula and juvenile Sarracenia, but how do i use it?

What concentrations? Liquid, or soil use, or stick it in or on the traps?

Anyone know?

sounds like a terrible superhero

Bumpy bump bump

i don't want to sound like a nag but does anyone know how to use this stuff?

Dan would not be using super on any sarras my friend or your going to have none left !!, but i have not heard of any one useing it on any CP's that i know of !!its mainly bird droppings or guano not sure how its spelt !! use in crop growing , may be too strong for most cp's , would look its composistion up on the net first too , it may have additives in it that will count it out being used at all , so look it up first

Ok

To keep it under 50ppm for soil use, it has to be dissolved in water by 20000 times. Roughly 1 gram in 20 liter of water.

If the plan is to pour into pitcher, Nepenthes pitcher can withstand much higher concentration. Up to ~5000ppm (1 gram in 200 ml) for 0.5ml a pitcher per plant from my fertilizing experience. Not sure about other CPs.

Anyway, superphosphate is only high in P and Ca. Unless there the plant shows P or Ca deficiency, probably not effective using it alone.
Hope this helps...
