Francisco D Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hi everyone, i'm Francisco writing from Temuco, Chile. The last year i received a VFT typical and some Droseras, and now i'm very interested in VFTs cultivars, droseras and sarracenia. The only problem, like the other people from Chile said, is the fact that in Chile and South America is very difficult to find this plants. In any case, i will upload the photos of my "small little tiny" collection to the gallery of my profile. Regards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel O. Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Welcome to CPUK Francisco. Some brazilian growers do have very big and interesting collections so perhaps you will find there what you are searching for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odysseus Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) Welcome to CPUK, Francisco! Are there restrictions on ordering plants online? (Those without CITES, Phytosanitary yada yada requirements, that is.) Or seeds? I am enjoying growing CPs from seed for my VERY first time this year, and have found it really fun. And especially Drosera are quickly rewarding when grown from seed. Unlike plants like Nepenthes, you can get a mature plant quickly.

Unlike plants like Nepenthes, you can get a mature plant quickly. yeah, as you said, only seeds can enter to Chile, and only VFT, droseras and sarracenias, with phytosanitary. For plants, we take the risk!, obviously with the help of the sender (discretion). For example in the description of the content and his value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard you can grow drosera pretty quick from leaf cuttings...the seeds also grow fairly quickly? Also welcome Francisco!

Odysseus Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Mad, Definitely depends on the plant, but yeah I have had D burmannii from seed really fast to mention one. Many of them are quick. But leaf cuttings are definitely quick. Now my "fast" is compared to 3 years to get going VFTs and Neps...so if it takes only a year to be large enough to enjoy, I am calling it fast.
