#cpclubthursday CP CLUB THURSDAY for October 24th, 2024
Welcome to #cpclubthursday
🌟NOW OVER 210 MEMBERS !🌟
FOCUS: Do Nepenthes need a dormancy period - short answer β€œNo”!
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:

Contrast this to their video on Pings:

I love the name Ping Pals #pingpals !πŸ˜€πŸ‘

If you want a more nuanced and fuller answer, the Windowsill Neptenthes is a great resource so check this video:

And an old video on how to induce dormancy in your indoor CPs

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 😊πŸͺ°πŸ¦ŸπŸš«

@Seymour I am at work at the moment (not working)😁 but wanted to update that all my CP’s are looking much better since the repots and netting off. And more new growth on the little pitcher plant.. πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ₯³ have a great day on purpose..
@CourtlyKingfern Hey Evelyn πŸ‘‹ That netting is a real issue so I’m glad you’ve attend to it and now your CPs are looking well. I love watching the pitcher plants grow and sometimes form pitchers.
I have another VFT about to flower which is always nice to see.
Have a great day as well πŸ™πŸ˜€πŸ‘
#cpthursday Here is my new one. A #PurplePitcherplant as I’m reading on this one…. I read that they have liquid at the bottom, and they do! I really like my new adventures into #CarnivorousPlants !! #chompchomp
