I've noticed a similar lack of modern tools in the growlist tracking space. I see friends using spreadsheets and forum posts - functional, but far from ideal. So, I built collecto.rs with some fellow hobbyists. Here's my example profile: https://collecto.rs/David 

collecto.rs supports a handful of features that outcompete spreadsheets and simple forum posts:

• A web app that looks great and is easy to navigate across any sized screen - mobile, tablet, or desktop.
• Plant images featured front-and-center in both grid and list views - way more visually appealing than a spreadsheet.
• Powerful filtering, sorting, and searching making it easy to find the right plant/s in your collection, or a friend's.
• Easy sharing of your full collection, a filtered view of your collection, or even a specific plant. Don't want to share? - Set your entire collection, or specific items to private.
• Use our database of 300,000 plants (and growing) to quickly and easily build out your collection, or manually add your plant and the details that are important to you (CSV/spreadsheet import feature being worked on now).
• Mark plants for sale or trade (trade coming soon!)
• Light mode/dark mode for easy viewing.
• LOTS more fun ideas in the pipeline.

I'm hoping you give it a shot, setup your collection, and share it with me along with your thoughts on how we can build an even better tool. We're a small team building this as a passion project (yeah, it's free) with big goals to build the best growlist and collection tracking tool out there - and we want your input on the features and functionality that is most important to you!

Anyone ever had any issues with Carnivoria.eu? I placed an order with them in February for a number of Utricularia species but have not received delivery of them.

I have followed up with David via email twice. First he stated he had to check his postage receipts. I followed up a short time later and he said he would send it the following week (24th April) when the weather improves. A week later another email to say he has to check his postage receipts again. I have recently asked for an update again but have had no response. I really want the plants I've ordered but don't know whether to call it a day and claim my money back through PayPal.

It seems to be run by Christian Klein, a cp supplier.

I will buy nepenthes from here when the weather cools down, unless something changes my mind...

Has anyone bought from this website? If so, please tell me your experiences!

I was just browsing around, looking for some nice nepenthes seeds, and i came across this website: https://nepseeds.com

They seem to be selling some macrophylla pods harvested at June 2nd!!

I know it seeds to good to be true...

Does anybody have experience buying from this store?

Please let me know

Also, don't buy the entire stock... save some for me

CP suppliers have their own directory, so why don't blogs have one? Well now they have.

The principle is that every active blog about carnivorous plants will be added here. By active I mean blogs which have their newest post done under a year ago.

For those wondering how they can add their blog to ICPS web ring please head to http://www.carnivoro...ring/SignUp.php

Kind regards,

have a look www.carnigarden.de

Anyway, without further ado, allow me to introduce to you …

I'd like to know how many blogs about carnivorous plants are there on the internet? Do you have a blog? Post a link in here.

Here's mine: Carnivorous Garden Blog - "Carnivorous plants hobbyist from the land of thousands of lakes."

I've kept this blog since 3.2.2011 and so far there are 51 posts and yet more to come. Updated at least once per month but the blog will be updated more often during summer. On my blog I will focus on Drosera, Utricularia, Cephalotus and Pinguicula, but I also write about Nepenthes and few non carnivorous plants such as orchids, chilies and cacti.

I have order 10 Adult plants from Carniplants.eu.

Normally, I read comments before ordering. However, I could not find anything about Carniplants.eu. Honestly, I trusted them since they are sponspor of CPUK. Actually, I did not know them before sponsor of CPUK.

They send plants quickly and I have recieved them in 10 days.

BUT, I was very dissappoint when I saw the plants becasue they have promised sending adult plants. Plants were very weak, delicate and unhealty. Even if plants are at dormancy, their bulbs are very small and not healty.

From 10 of plants that I have bought:

1 of them was dead plant

2 of them were extra-small and almost dead plants

4 of them were extra small plants

1 of them was semi-adult plant

2 of them were adult plants

I have contacted them and they did not try to solve my problem. I do not recommed ordering from them.

You can see the photos of plants that I recieved:

You can see here what they promised:

Best regards 

then wanted 8 eu more separately than the total wanted,great inconsistency

 when I want money,36 EU sent missing.

a seller who should definitely be away..

We stopped doing our shows last year as it became more difficult to maintain our internet sales service. We will miss meeting our customers and fellow exhibitors but will have more time to devote to growing plants and providing a first class service to our internet customers.

Of course you are welcome to come to the nursery to choose your plants, by appointment only please (see our About Us page for directions).

Our new website may look very similar to the last one but it is built using a far more moden shopping cart program. This will allow customers to register their details if they wish and to keep a track of their purchases. We are also introducing a loyalty point system for registered customers so further purchases will get a discount. More details will be provided shortly.

After a lot of thought, we have decided to have reviews. This will enable you to both review the product and the service. Of course the plants will reflect the season in which they are bought but I am sure it will help people to choose and will provide some useful feedback for us

We have some more Venus Flytrap cultivars listed including a spectacular 'Scarlet Bristle'. We have also put together some Venus Flytrap Collections to enable people to enjoy a greater range of these fascinating plants at a lower price.

Hello, does anyone have experience with sarracenia.cz? They have a good selection and small prices ..

In my case the plant was sent bare rooted and the roots were damaged .Therefore the plant never grew and started to slowly wither (because it had no functioning roots)

The seller says when he sent it it was in great condition and therefore it must have been my bad conditions that damaged the plant.

What really made me angry is, that first he offered an exchange plant. 10 Days later after asking multiple times he said he will only give me a refund. Then 7 days later only after asking persistently again. He told me he will not refund anything. That is very bad human behavior, which no half way professional seller should have. Lying to me and ignoring my Emails for almost 3 Weeks.

I have many nepenthes growing well and many other plants. I have constant 65% humidity and red/blue/white Led lighting, with a very good soil mixture. I put the plant in a plastic bag at first for getting used to my humidity easier.

If you want to be safe ordering a plant I reccomend a different seller. 

I hope this helps others not to make my mistake...

I am new here, but have few questions about this shop: http://www.rarexoticseeds.com/en/

1. Did anyone bought something from them (especially drosera seeds)

2. If so, fresh or seeds do not germinate?

3. What about shipping to Europe?

Parcel arrived, all plants are in good condition. No more complaints. 

==================================================================================================

2017/07/05 UTC+8 updates:

The resent parcel was posted on 2017-07-03, and has left Poland on 2017-07-05

==================================================================================================

2017/06/29 UTC+8 updates:

OK, Mekk of Roraima.pl has contacted me, I'll keep update this topic updated until I get the parcel.

==================================================================================================

I placed my nepenthes order on this site 29 April 2017. Waited for 10 days, and nothing was sent.

So I dropped a mail to them, asking when my order will be shipped. The next day, I got my reply, saying they are having holidays in Poland last week and the order will be shipped soon.

Shipping was quite quick. I checked the plants and address on the mail again. And everything looks fine. 

But when I got a phone call from the post officer, I found the shipping address was wrong: it is my previous address that I used (on their website, I placed my new order with new Chinese address, I asked them print and paste the Chinese address on the mail) 2 years ago.  I asked the officer if the address can be changed, because I no long live there. They refused my request due to the policy. So, sadly, the parcel was sent back to Poland.

On email, Michal Gastal said the issue might be caused by something wrong with his computer, and they will decide what to do next. So I wait again.

I waited for a month, and they never contacted me again. So I decided to place an issue on PayPal.

This time they replied quick, asking if I want new plants or refund. I said "new plants". And then again, they became muted.

I think I might ask for a full refund on PayPal, since it's all their fault.

In short, I placed my order on 29 April 2017, and didn't get my plants or refund on 27 June 2017.

I expose you my problem : I made an order on this website the 3rd august.

And until now, I have not received any plant. 

I contacted them by twice (directly on their Facebook page)...

One the 7th august (they told me that they will send my order the next monday).

The second recently, the 21th august (and I have no response).

Have you already ordered on this website ? What is your experience ? Do you think I must ask them by another way ?

I know they was not available during a short time (23th to 30th august if I remember well). But I must say I'm pretty disappointed...

After one month without informations.
