Hello everyone! I've got myself pretty deep into carnivorous plants! I'm looking for fun ways to display them and I was curious if anyone wanted to share their carnivorous bog and terrarium set ups! #cpclubthursday #cpterrarium #carnivorousplants #carnivorousclub #terrarium
I’ve never ventured into the realm of carnivorous plants tbh, other than the Venus fly trap I had when I was 10, he didn’t last long, he lived on a diet of toast 😅😂
@Pidge yeah I had some as a kid too and I've got a couple now but they're not my favorite. I prefer nepenthes, drosera, pinguicula, and utricularia 😊
@PleaseLeaf Oooh! I’ll have to have a look at those! These plants really do interest me, I just haven’t really taken the first step into getting one yet. Thank you for your personal recommendations!
I don't know if you've seen my bog garden I have my Collins sundew in yet! He must like it because he's grown A LOT since I planted him in there! It makes me want to do this with all of mine that don't go dormant. I've bought more glass containers for them, but haven't made another one yet. I find that I have to keep them inside, if there's no drainage, because it rains too much here. I have to tip them to the side to drain the excess water and ain't nobody got time for that.
Anyway, Dipper, the Collins sundew, is pretty happy right now. I have him under a grow light for 16 hours a day.
@JesssJungle I have seen him! It's cute! I love terrariums and I have like a 30G one for like reptiles/amphibians that I'd like to use for carnivorous plants because it's not tall enough for any critters I'd consider getting 😂
@JesssJungle Beautiful!
@PleaseLeaf ooo I have a 30 gallon octagonal tank that I want to turn into a terrarium or perhaps some type of aquaponics system. Future project, of course! 😜
@BeeBalm thank you!! 😊 He's a happy little dude.
@JesssJungle Wait, I think this one is 20G. Idk for sure, but it's 24x18x12, and I got it for dirt cheap 😂
@PleaseLeaf oh that's still perfect for a terrarium!! Any idea what you wanna put in it?
@JesssJungle pings, sundews, and bladderworts! It's large enough that everyone should be able to have their own section and since the pings don't go through a true dormancy they'll still be safe in there during their succulent stage 🙂 I won't be using any of my temperate species in the terrarium because I want to enjoy it all year long 😂
@PleaseLeaf Hi Bri, here was one of my attempts, all the best with it 😀👍
