#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! I have also added many posts about the conditions and care of various CPs in previous #cpclubthursday so I recommend people follow the hashtag, may of them also have my own group #seymour so may be easier to find there. Add any interesting Carnivorous Plant (CP) facts, photos, or anything CP-related for this week. Or ask a question of our members related to CPs Join the CP just by clicking the link #cpclubthursday and clicking join. That is all it takes! Too easy! Shall we make it to 210 or more members? There is already a wealth of CP info so why not just join our growing CP community at #cpclubthursday!

#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!

#cpclubthursday CP CLUB THURSDAY for October 24th, 2024 Welcome to #cpclubthursday 🌟NOW OVER 210 MEMBERS !🌟 FOCUS: Do Nepenthes need a dormancy period - short answer “No”! As we move into dormancy for many members, it is an important reminder of why Nepenthes are such a different CP to VFTs, sundews and butterworts (pings). Nepenthes are tropical plants so don’t need a dormancy period like their bog plant CP cousins. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t affected by a change of seasons. Here’s a nice little video from California Carnivores on this point: https:// Contrast this to their video on Pings: https:// I love the name Ping Pals #pingpals !😀👍 If you want a more nuanced and fuller answer, the Windowsill Neptenthes is a great resource so check this video: https:// And an old video on how to induce dormancy in your indoor CPs 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!

#cpclubthursday CP CLUB THURSDAY for October 17th 2024 Welcome to #cpclubthursday 🌟NOW OVER 200 MEMBERS !🌟 FOCUS: Sarracenia Flava (var. CUPREA) Hi Members, final days to compete or vote for the prize of a Venus Fly Trap from Greg Shop at the following link: https:// As we move into dormancy for many members, I thought I would focus on a Sarracenia Flava (variation Cuprea). I noticed them on sale by a local supplier (and sold in their dormant state as a dormant rhizome without the wonderful traps during winter months) which doesn’t look glamorous when you pot it but once those traps grow, see what it looks like in the photos below. And I’ll had some cool short videos from California Carnivores in a comment below 👇 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!

I find more and more new growth every day despite fall approaching.. Well, I guess technically it has approached. Just not here, haha. I'm especially loving my Sarracenia Rubra spp. Gulfensis! In my last post there was photos of the pitchers that has just opened. Now, they're developing some beautiful colors and still continuously producing more pitchers! It might be one of my favorite Sarracenia. When I was moving my plants back after Hurricane Helene, unfortunately I did notice mealybugs on my Sarracenia Purpurea. I had my suspicions.. and sadly they were true. I do know how to get rid of them, it's really just a matter of if I want to fight them. As of right now, I'm just gonna treat it with what I've got but I dont feel like really fighting them. I hate mealybugs so much ... I'd rather not risk them spreading to the rest of my collection, and the chances of that increase the longer I try and fight them 😬. Mealybugs make me want to burn the plant, am I the only one?? I lost a ton of my non-carnivorous plants to mealies just earlier this year 😒. None of my other plants seem to have mealybugs luckily, I am still treating them though just as a precaution ! 🙂 Took there photos before I moved my plants.. once again.. for a hurricane. Feels like I just did this. My thoughts and prayers are going out to those in and around the Tampa area. Stay safe everyone 🫶. Despite being north of where it's supposed to make landfall, I moved my plants just to be safe .. still supposed to get lots of wind and storms. #merranda #cpclubthursday #sarracenia #carnivorousplants #carnivorousclub #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #newgrowth #pitcherplant.

CP CLUB THURSDAY for September 5th, 2024 Welcome to #cpclubthursday 🌟NOW 180 MEMBERS !🌟 SPECIAL FEATURE: The 3 Sundew Sisters: Tropical Sundews - the Drosera adelae, D. prolifera, and D. schizandra. #3sundewsisters I have extracted the following information on these 3 sundew sisters: Originating from tropical Australian Queensland, Drosera adelae, D. prolifera and D. schizandra, three closely related species, are considered as the 3 Sisters. These species are endemic to far north Queensland. They are unique to the genus in that they are found growing exclusively in rainforest habitat. Peter D'Amato has referred to Drosera adelae, D. prolifera, and D. schizandra as the three sisters from Queensland. The leaves of mature plants are about as different looking as any sisters could be but they are more closely related to each other than they are to any other Drosera. And like any three sisters, each has different growing preferences. But they are united in that juvenile plants do have similar leaves and the flowers are similar as well. The tropical Drosera adelae, D. prolifera, and D. schizandra are about as close as you can get to jungle sundews. There are other Drosera that live in tropical regions and overlap the range of these species such as Drosera burmannii, D. indica, D. banksii, and D. spatulata, but they are not restricted to the wet tropical habitats and are definitely not jungle or rainforest plants. Well, actually, there is now a new sister! Recently a fourth "sister" was discovered and it was named Drosera buubugujin. For anyone really interested, I recommend the following video: https:// Here’s some more info to expand on the above: https:// https:// https:// I have added many posts about the conditions and care of various CPs in previous #cpclubthursday so I recommend people follow the hashtag, may of them also have my own group #seymour so may be easier to find there.
