Urgh….left my rainwater outside for too long. Just watered my carnivorous plants and wiggle wiggle…tonnes of blimming mosquito larvae! So now I’m sitting here with a stick, drinking tea and eating a muffin while squishing them 🤣 fun fun fun! #bugs #mosquitolarvae #CarnivorousPlants #rainwater #PlantAddict #PLANTMAFIA

CP Talk in preparation for #cpclubthursday Fortunately I am currently attending a great talk (packed in like sardines as it is so popular and also kids are on school holidays) This guys has a major CP nursery where he grows all kinds of CPs, he has a nice easy manner but very knowledgeable as he has been doing this for years. His Nepenthes are impressive and he has been my major supplier for my large Nepenthes which are thriving. So much so that I need to die some of them and use the segments for propagation purposes. I am hoping to interview him for the podcast someone to Greg community members very soon (we are also interviewing the Greg CEO so if you want to know more about Alex or Greg app and how it all came about add your comments below) So he has some incredible nepenthes for sale today but I just need to see if I can nab one as they will sell like hotcakes. And why are not cheap as the standard Nepenthes, which I will aim to take photos of and you can see one in the photos, sell for $75 AUD which is about $50 US but they can sell for over $100 (I nearly bought a female Nepenthes and it ultimately sold for $150 AUD so at least $100 US. I have seen superior specimens sell for $700 to nearly $1000 so it’s dependent on rarity and eg pitcher shape. More later but I include a photo of my Nepenthes which has basal shoots so I can now propagate from it and maybe have up to 5 new planrs growing from the old plant. #cpclubthursday #Seymour #theamigos #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #PLANTMAFIA #CarnivorousPlants #CarnivorousClub #GregGang #Greggers #gregteam #Sundew #VFT Venus #VenusFlyTrap #PlantTherapy #GrowLights #Sarracenia #Nepenthes

I have the plant next to my window in the kitchen in Iceland. I was wondering if it could be too cold for it there because the temperature averages around 10°c #TropicalPitcherPlant

Moved this baby outside after I noticed black mold like spots on him and apparently that I didn’t have time to clean at the time… BUT it’s a little too hot outside for him. After a huge trim of burned pinchers and a scrub down of soap to get what I am suspecting was black mold .. although open for discussion I think he’s cleaned up pretty good now. I didn’t take a before picture but you can see the spot in his profile! Please check it out! He will stay hanging in my shower for about two weeks before I put him back in my room where I originally wanted him!

New leaves but no signs of new pitchers? Is this normal? No new pitchers have grown in a while. Any thoughts/ comments welcome! TIA 💚💛🪴 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #cpclubthursday #CarnivorousPlants #TropicalPitcherPlant
