  1. Hi Damiano, grow a darli in Italy is possible but could be a very very hard challenge (i live close to Modena, so a little bit hotter than Trentino). Podunk gave you very helpful advices! next time keep the plant outside in a shaded but luminous place, don't use ice (o siberini come nella foto, anch'io persi la mia prima darli cosi'): you will be forced to change them too often, they like cool substrate but don't like when temperature jumps up and down

    Snail in a VFT

    Hi! My VFT sometimes eat some snails, the only issue is that the trap start to rot once the digestion process begin
  3. Yes, you can cut everything brown
  4. Hi, AF stand for Andrea Fontana, an italian grower owner of giardinocarnivoro cp's shop. Should be amoung the sponsors.
  5. Hi, i use the quartz sand of this brand (the one on the left) with darlingtonia seedling (mixed with pumice and a little bit of peat), P. macriceras (mixed with lapil) and with D. linearis (pure) without any issue. I saw the other bag at the pet shop and it looks gravel to me, so it might have a higher pH level but usually for pinguicula this is not a problem
  6. despite i'm not fond of chemistry i find your video really interesting!

    Deep VFTs

    Hi! Usually moss is not a big problem in this case, consider that vft's naturally tend to sink into the substrate. I repot plants every 2 or 3 years and sometimes i find very "stretched" rhizome.
  8. Here in Italy is possible to find various syrups and pills with D. rotundifolia, homeopathic as well, and i know it can be a cough pain relief, but i don't think too this plant could kill the virus.
  9. so little and so dark, a good looking plant!
  10. almost ready for salad!!!! jokes apart great plants Argo!!
  11. Even if they are the commonest carnivorous plants it's always nice to see them in the wild. Theorically (for what i know) is forbidden to collect plants, seeds and parts of plants in the wild. I don't know if in the UK exist a specific authority for these matter as here in Italy.
