#cpclubthursday CP CLUB THURSDAY for November 28, 2024 “Because if it’s Thursday, it’s Carnivorous Plants Club! “ Welcome to #cpclubthursday 🌟NOW OVER 235 MEMBERS !🌟 FOCUS: Unboxing lots of VFT varieties I found this video and thought it might be worth a watch for anyone who wants to consider different cultivators of VFTs (no, not my video or VFTs…pity 😞) https:// Some things to consider if you plan to expand your CP collection: * check the mineral levels in the water you are using eg TDS meter (unless using distilled etc). Cheap TDS meters can be found on eg Amazon * check the light eg light meter app (eg Photone) * check the humidity (all CPs like high humidity) so a terrarium can be fun for some CPs * check water access (bog plants like VFTs like sundews and VFTs like constant access to water, Nepenthes like regular watering) * consider how many hours of light per day (eg VFTs can handle 16 hours under grow-lights), cut back during dormancy periods * remember dormancy periods (drop in temperatures etc) as it allows your CP to rest consistent with its natural location (hence why Nepenthes, being tropical plants, don’t have a marked dormancy period like VFTs and sundews) I have seen some great CPs being shared by #cpclubthursday these weeks so thanks for including the hashtag to alert other members to your posts!

#cpclubthursday CP CLUB THURSDAY for November 14, 2024 “Because if it’s Thursday, it’s Carnivorous Plants Club! “ Welcome to #cpclubthursday 🌟NOW OVER 230 MEMBERS !🌟 FOCUS: Cephalotus (Australian/Albany Pitcher Plant) So it’s not often you meet a Cephalotus propagator but I had the chance recently. It’s amazing to see some many Cephalotus under one roof. So I was able to take some photos of the terrariums and other Cephalotus. These can be a bit tricky to grow but under the right conditions (like all CPs) they can thrive. And something rarely seen - a Cephalotus with a flower stalk! They can be tricky to pollinate and even to get seeds from but this Cephalotus owner managed it.

#cpclubthursday CP CLUB THURSDAY for October 31 2024 Halloween 🎃 👻 “Because if it’s Thursday, it’s Carnivorous Plants Club! “ BONUS POST Welcome to #cpclubthursday 🌟NOW OVER 220 MEMBERS !🌟 FOCUS: RECENT NEPENTHES SALE (Australia Only) Almost forgot! Last Saturday there was a major sale of Nepenthes from a main Australian supplier (Carnivaro - similar name to a US supplier Carnivero!) So popular is it that it had a countdown to the sale commencing and no wonder when you see the Nepenthes for sale. Some highlights: a Nepenthes Edwardsiana for AUD $749 (that’s over US $492 or £380 or 454 Euro!!!) The next most expensive was a bargain at AUD $438 for a Nepenthes Hamata. I’ll add all the photos I took in the comments below 👇 so if you wonder what Nepenthes can look like, this gives you an idea. And so were less than AUD $30 so there a Nepenthes for everyone! And being tropical, as a posted before, dormancy isn’t so much an issue as with many other CPs. Enjoy 😊 I have seen some great CPs being shared by #cpclubthursday these week so thanks for including the hashtag to alert other members to your posts!

#cpclubthursday CP CLUB THURSDAY for October 31 2024 Halloween 🎃 👻 “Because if it’s Thursday, it’s Carnivorous Plants Club! “ Welcome to #cpclubthursday 🌟NOW OVER 220 MEMBERS !🌟 FOCUS: Hydroponics CPs! So here’s a great way to look at growing CPs that seems to be a great way as with most hydroponics, you need to add nutrients to the water but with CPs they prefer a nutrient free medium to grow in (hence eg peat moss/perlite or pure sphagnum moss!) This guy is a great resource for anyone growing Nepenthes indoors (hence the Windowsill Nepenthes) and Remy is based in Canada (from France hence French accent!). So I have been watching his LetPot hydroponic videos and he just released his latest update. Here’s the video and it’s fairly short (6.5 minutes): https:// It’s similar to other brands like Aerogarden (did they go out of business recently !?!) in using plugs into a water reservoir and grow lights. Anyway share if you have tried this hydroponic system for your own CPs or similar or planning to give it a go! Oh and Remy has a nice simple Nepenthes growing guide on Amazon (only 42 pages): Pitcher Plants Beginner Guide: Easily grow these carnivorous plants on your windowsill, choose the right species, understand their needs, and keep them healthy and pitchering. https:// I have seen some great CPs being shared by #cpclubthursday these week so thanks for including the hashtag to alert other members to your posts!
