  1. I should have taken it the first day, when there were no bubbles and the water was crystal clear. I was pretty amazed that the peat moss didn't float up when I flooded the container.
  2. Is the water you are using to water them low in minerals?
  3. I am currently making an order with David. I haven't paid for it yet because he is checking if some plants are in stock but my first order about a month ago went smoothly. It has been a while since his last email though.... Edit: He emailed me and told me that he will have one of the plants in stock in a week.
  4. Beautiful flowers! The plant in my first two pictures just melted away after flowering but the one in the last picture didn't. I think I've read somewhere that Utricularia striatula tends to die after flowering but your plant looks great! If I could grow them again I would probably use sphagnum moss instead of peat.
  5. Cool! I really like the dark color of the scape on Genlisea oxycentron.
  6. I grew Utricularia striatula while I was in Taiwan in peat. I used a plastic tub with a lid so the humidity was high. When I got back to the states, I put it in an identical setup but the plant melted. I don't know what I did wrong, since some Utricularia biloba I also brought back with me thrived in the same setup. You can see how much the plant grew from when I first got it. The plant in the last photo was flowering; unfortunately I did not get any pictures of the flower. ( #`Д´) I would love to have another chance at growing this species.
  7. It is amazing that you are able to see these rare Utricularia in the wild. Thank you so much for sharing your pictures with us!
  8. Got the plants today! They looked great, and a few of them were much larger than I expected. I will definitely be ordering from Carnivoria again in the future.
  9. That Wistuba "eymae" is really something!
  10. Wow! Never seen Cephalotus in a bog before.
  11. Ooh very cool setup for the pings.
  12. I discovered this Utricularia growing in my tub a few days ago. I have circled the Utricularia in question in the pictures below. I think it is either prehensilis or involvens but does anyone know if it is one or the other? Neither of those species has done well for me so it will be a nice surprise if it turns out to be either of them. I also had longifolia in there before and praelonga, but I don't think it is either of those due to the shape of the stolons. The tub is normally sealed so I'm pretty sure it is not a random Utricularia that sprang up. The smaller Utricularia is bifida to give you a sense of scale.
  13. Beautiful! I love the petioles on Drosera neocaledonica. Very distinctive.
  14. Does Utricularia reniformis benefit from a drop in temperature at night too? I've only been growing it for a few months so I don't have much experience with it. And those flowers are amazing dimitar.
  15. I received an email saying the plants will be sent immediately.
  16. I'm only growing hispidula but I think all the species appreciate higher humidity. A propagator with the lid on should work.
  17. My setups have at least 3cm of peat at the bottom but it depends on how deep your containers are. If you don't want the peat to come up when you add water you could also add a layer of sand on top but the plants will do fine without it.
  18. I would pot all of them up unless you are growing aquatic species. For suspended aquatic species I just use peat and water and let the plants float on top. And many of the annual species can be grown as perennials if the growing conditions stay the same. There are some true annual species like Utricularia multifida though.
  19. I grow mine in a clear plastic tub on a windowsill to keep the humidity and temperature high. The growing medium is peat moss.
  20. I got an email from them asking for my delivery address to which I replied but haven't heard back since.
  21. They probably wouldn't last on a windowsill for very long. They need high humidity, cool temperatures, and lots of light.
