Hi,
I'm Nick,
I've only discovered the world of carnivorous plants a little more than a year ago,got a typical dionaea from my youngest brother as a gift and did al the most stupid mistakes one can do,tap water,soil and sand from my garden to repot and no direct light...a month later it was just a dying rhizome.
I felt sorry for the little guy,went online and educated myself and got myself a bag of peat.
Amazingly after a few weeks or so,new life appeared from the rhizome so i was hooked !
Now i have more than 100 flytraps,some heliamphora's,drosera, and since last summer even a small greenhouse to protect them all from the cold winters.
Oh and that poor little flytrap ? She has grown to be the biggest flytrap i have in my collection,with traps as big as my biggest B52 !
