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

Nepenthes 🧐 Hi community 👋 Recently I moved my nepenthes to a new coco coir pot which has peat moss and little perlite from his old mix 🪴 I put it in a close recipient so it can have some moisture since my weather tends to be dry and cold 🧊 I am thinking of letting the recipient open in the low part (its a big hole 🕳️ ) so the coco coir can breath when it is indoors. Do you think it's a good idea overall? Or do I need another kind of soil and leave the recipient always open for the coco coir? 🤔 (Side note, I've never had coco coir pots before) Greeting's to y'all 💐🫰 #happyplants #cpclubthursday #greggang #greggerssupportinggreggers #gregfeedback

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

#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! 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 220 or more members? There is already a wealth of CP info so why not just join our growing CP community at #cpclubthursday! Happy Chompys 😊🪰🦟🚫 #cpclubthursday #carnivorousplants #carnivorousclub #venusflytrap #sarracenia #pinguicula #nepenthes #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #happyplants #greggang #seymour #theamigos #Pinguicula #butterwort #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #GrowLights #Sundew #ForkedSundew #SpoonLeavedSundew #Drosera #CapeSundew #dormancy #CPdormancy #pingpals

#Nepenthes Hybrid - Amazing! Meet my new carnivorous friend: Nepenthes Mirabilis Winged x Ampullaria Black Miracle. This is a hybrid I was lucky to find at a very, very reasonable prince. It is stunning. The color palette from the leaf to the trap is simply outstanding, and in one week it already gave me a new leaf. It's my first Nepenthes, I'm not going to grow it hanging, and I will admit humidity doesn't always reach the necessary levels - as always I'll make do. Tell me what you think! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PlantTherapy #CarnivorousPlants
