The Carnivorous Plants UK Forum was started in March 2002. CPUK is a long running friendly forum with over 3000 members from all over the world. The membership is made up of growers from the novice to the very experienced. We have a huge database of information from over 175,000 posts covering all types of carnivorous plants. We have tips on propagation, cultivation and equipment needed to keep your plants healthy. A large database of photos can be found on the forum taken by growers of their collections and also of plants seen growing in the wild.

CPUK is an excellent place for trading plants and seeds in our For Sale & Wants forums. Buy well grown plants from growers private collections at very good prices.

Over the years the members CPUK have raised 1000's of pounds for conservation and have made donations to The Carnivorous Plant Society and Meadowview Biological Research Station for The Joseph Pines Preserve We are still committed to conservation and continue to raise money from the plant auctions held on the forum.

Signed copies of all Stewart's books can be bought from his website Redfern Natural History Productions

Pitcher Plants of the Old World Volume One

Pitcher plants include the largest and most spectacular of all carnivorous plants. So-called because they produce highly specialised foliage that takes the form of hollow, water-filled “pitchers”, these extraordinary plants lure and prey upon arthropods and other small animals. The pitcher plants of the Old World also trap the largest prey of all carnivorous plants, including on rare occasions, vertebrates as large as frogs, mice and even rats. This two volume work examines both genera of Old World pitcher plants (Nepenthes and Cephalotus) and documents the ecology and natural diversity of every known species for the first time and in unparalleled detail...

Pitcher Plants of the Old World Volume One consists of the following chapters; Introduction, Carnivorous Plants of the World, The Pitcher Plants of the Old World, The Evolution of the Pitcher Plants of the Old World, Trapping Processes, Infauna, Nepenthes of Borneo and Nepenthes of Peninsular Malaysia and Indochina.

Carnivorous Plants of the World

Carnivorous plants are the most unusual of all flowering plants. So called because they have evolved the unique ability to attract, trap, kill and digest insects and other small animals. These plants turn the tables of the natural world and prey on fauna in order to augment nutrients that are otherwise not available in the often harsh and extreme habitats in which they grow. This work examines the wild ecology and natural diversity of all known genera of carnivorous plants and examines the remarkable and often spectacular means by which they trap and kill animal prey.

Carnivorous Plants and their Habitats

Growing in some of the most barren and extreme habitats of our world, carnivorous plants are adapted to very specific environmental conditions which must be understood for their successful cultivation. This work profiles the natural habitats and environmental requirements of each genus of carnivorous plants to provide horticulturists with a clear and focused understanding of the specific conditions which these remarkable plants require. By understanding the strange worlds in which these unusual and often spectacular plants naturally grow, horticulturists will be better equipped to successfully cultivate and study them.
