Very nice

Beautiful plants you have there. What size pots are you using to pot them in?

Looking good OR1ON! Nice to see you again too!

I really envy that Flytrap collection, you have a fair few, and all look great! Good trough too!
Well done!

just wondering to you collect rain water? or buy distilled water probably both right? I live in L.A what would be the best way to collect rain water?

is it me or does he green dragon have a ton of buds on the flower stalk?

i mean jaws

Glad you stopped in to give us an update and say hello Omar!

Your collection looks great. It's a great time of year, huh? Watching all of the plants rouse from their dormancy and make those first few big traps of the season...awesome!

Good looking flytraps.

Looking good OR1ON ! Your collection always amazes me among the few I follow on these forums. Nice growing !

Thanks for all the feedback everyone! Glad to know you all like my progress. It takes some dedication especially having many of them to take care of I can't even imagine how Matt an Steve do it!!!

As far as the size pots I use, it all depends on my plans for the plant I guess. For my more favorite, better looking plants I like to use a 6"x5"pot so they have plenty of room to grow and divide. For my younger plants I use 3.5"x3.5" pots since they don't need much room. I also use 4.25"x5" pots for regular size traps. These pots I really like because they're pretty deep but aren't too wide. As far as water, I buy reverse osmosis water for like 25¢ a gallon. I live in L.A. so it kinda hardly rains. We did have a storm last week and I was able to get a tub full of rain water. I just set the tub out and it filled right up. That flower stalk does have a bunch of buds I barely noticed. It's like a flower stalk on steroids lol. I was thinking of cutting it though but now I'm not sure. I am letting a couple other plants flower we'll see how that goes. I love this time of year. Seeing the plants start to suddenly grow is pretty amazing. Thanks again everyone!
