FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

I was just wanting to see if anyone had any spare utricularia that they may want to trade for a couple flytraps or pings. I have a mosquito larva problem developing in my greenhouses and would rather address the issue with plants rather than chemicals.

awesome idea!
if your making a pond you should also use mosquito fish or minnows with your cps!
there was a westnile virus problem in California a while back and the fish and game were giving out free mosquito fish to kill off the problem , they are very efficient and can live in still water, when i was a kid i used to catch them with a net in the creek ;P can find them anywhere, even feederfish that they sell at the pet store as food for bigger fish would work, i think they are the same kind anyway , any small agile fish will be constantly hunting for small larva and other food like that, could even use some kinds of gold fish

I am actually just interested in going the plant route for now. Some of my tubs have a max of 2 inchs of water at all times.

I do Chris but I dont have enough to share atm. I'll see if any of my friends have any they could spare and if they do i'll send you some with that purp I promised you. Know its been forever but had a cold spell set my plants back a lil.

Thanks man, no real rush, I just think it would be cool to have them in my setup.
