  1. Do I have to be a CPS member to come along ? If not , which entrance is the group meeting at?
  2. Not really, I live in a flat, and the communal gardens are intensly manicured. On the bright side it is raining, so there will be some nice soft water for my D. alicaea
  3. thanks for the compost pointers, very useful. my housemate can et me some distilled water from his lab, so thats now less of a problem. Now its just window sill space...
  4. my housemate can get distilled water from the lab he works at, so hopefully I can solve the problem.
  5. thanks every one. I will defintely look into Dianne and Ian's offer. @ agreendream. I'd defintely be interested in some D binata. I can swap for a Gasteria sp (succulent) if you wanted. @Richard Bunn. Thats a great selection! I love the idea of having some Nepethes on the window sill. I think before I go wild with any more new plants, I need to source some better water. can I use the distilled water sold by Robert Dyas (et al)? If I buy from growers the plants will arrive as plugs right? So I need a ready supply of 'compost' I was thinking supersphag and perlite, does this sound suitable?
  6. Its a D. alicaeae the rest of the plant seems fine, lots of leaves unfurling. plenty of dew on the leaves. Could it just be a change in weather? its got a lot more warm and humid the last couple of days.
  7. Last week I noticed my drosera had started to throw out a flower stalk, but I looked at it this morning and the bud has turned black. Why has this happened? My Drosera is on a south facing window sill and has had a mixture of rain water and tap water over the last week. Also I live in London so my tap water is pretty much the worst for CPs, can I use bottled water, or distilled/denatured water?
  8. Hello, I'm pretty new to CPs, I've mostly kept cacti and ferns before, but decided to branch out into something exotic. I am currently studying Biology and am a volunteer at the Natural History Museum. I also work at Evans Cycles. I've currently only got a Drosera aliceae , but I am interested in any CP that is willing to grow on a south or east facing window sill, any tips?
