Hi, I'm from Necochea, a city on the coast of the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. I recently started with carnivorous plants. In my city I am the only one who can not have any information and I have nothing to resort to forums, books and friends growers of Buenos Aires.Hi and welcome to the forum

I've read where Dionaea like a mix of peat and sand. I've used this in the past but it is a very heavy and dense medium. Never had much luck with vfts either, maybe there's a connection?

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

Interesting. But difficult to tell what its roots are like. Best of luck with it.

Well, this is what my looks like today. It seems to be surviving the frosts OK at the moment. As you can probably tell it's in the greenhouse now which hopefully will help.

Looking good Blocky. Glad you like it.

I'm left my seedlings outside so far (or a recommendation) - one died but rest still looking good. Anyone with advice on how to get through the winter? Have grown a number of times from seed but never managed to keep more than a year or two!
I've brought mine into the g/h now and last time I looked it was still doing OK.

Welcome to the forum.

I've had them survive down to about -10 deg.C, but then I've also had them dwindle and die for no apparent reason

now got to fit the pond liner that should be fun.
It's the corners that are tricky. You can find videos on the internet showing the folding technique.

I just cut the brown parts off. I try to only do this once, so will probably have a good go in December.

Leave them alone for awhile. When they're a year old or so you can transplant if you wish. There's some thought this actually improves growth but I can't confirm this. Sarracenia don't mind crowding so whatever you do they'll survive given the right conditions.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Normally you must give sarracenia a winter dormancy. However, with seedlings you can prevent that happening and they'll grow faster. A heated propagator works well for this else on a windowsill in a heated room should be OK - maybe under cover to raise the humidity and giving occasional foliar feed. You can do this until they reach 2 years old or so.

Cedric sells it cheaper than that here. But there aren't any for sale right now

Here are a few photos of the plants at the open day. Many thanks to Mike and Helen for another great day. Bought too many plants again, though
. But we did get to see the famous motorbike!

They survive over winter in the greenhouse so I should think it'll reappear in the spring if left outside. However, you could bring the binata inside for winter, they don't need a dormancy.
-
It will need a dormancy period over winter when it should be kept cold with reduced watering so the compost is damp rather than sopping wet. I think it was Nigel H-C who suggested dormancy should be from Halloween to Valentine's day which is a good way of remembering the important dates. The pot size is fine ATM.
