#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.

Share your top CP tips here:

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!

I have also added many posts about the conditions and care of various CPs in previous #cpclubthursday so I recommend people follow the hashtag, many of them also have my group #seymour so may be easier to find them 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 230 or more members? There is already a wealth of CP info so why not just join our growing CP community at #cpclubthursday?

Happy Chompys 😊🪰🦟🚫

They're so beautiful and you're so lucky!

I wanted those, but my wife told me either "those things" or her.

But one serious question, do they smell?
@Diospectre Do they smell 👃? Not at all. The only reason they would is if there was a “digesting cocktail” 🍸 in their pitchers. But they don’t need to be feed unless you want to give them a boost as they rely on photosynthesis as their main source of energy. So unless something in their pitchers goes off, there’s no smell.
Sounds like you were given an ultimate ultimatum! Perhaps, like one couple I saw when I viewed these Cephalotus, your wife was to see them in a nursery or supplier’s place, she may remove her objection. They’re not as “scary” or “objectionable” as they look. Thanks for your comment, Diospectre 😀👍
@Diospectre I have many different kinds of carnivorous plants, some of which end up eating live food, and there is no smell. They are very cool plants and as already mentioned, you don’t need to feed them if there is a concern. I hope you’re able to get a carnivorous plant! 😉
@LaSiguanaba Wow, that's a beautiful setup. It looks like that I'm going to risk my marriage soon. Wish me luck!
@Diospectre I wouldn’t risk your marriage, but you can assure your wife there is no objectionable smell and that you don’t even have to feed your plants! They are just very cool and interesting plants to keep. ☺️
They're like pots full of little monsters yelling "Feed Me, Seymour!". LOL! 🤣
