#cpclubthursday CP CLUB THURSDAY for November 28, 2024
βBecause if itβs Thursday, itβs Carnivorous Plants Club! β
Welcome to #cpclubthursday
πNOW OVER 235 MEMBERS !π
FOCUS: Unboxing lots of VFT varieties
I found this video and thought it might be worth a watch for anyone who wants to consider different cultivators of VFTs (no, not my video or VFTsβ¦pity π)

Some things to consider if you plan to expand your CP collection:
* check the mineral levels in the water you are using eg TDS meter (unless using distilled etc). Cheap TDS meters can be found on eg Amazon
* check the light eg light meter app (eg Photone)
* check the humidity (all CPs like high humidity) so a terrarium can be fun for some CPs
* check water access (bog plants like VFTs like sundews and VFTs like constant access to water, Nepenthes like regular watering)
* consider how many hours of light per day (eg VFTs can handle 16 hours under grow-lights), cut back during dormancy periods
* remember dormancy periods (drop in temperatures etc) as it allows your CP to rest consistent with its natural location (hence why Nepenthes, being tropical plants, donβt have a marked dormancy period like VFTs and sundews)
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 previous 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 more then 230 members? There is already a wealth of CP info so why not just join our growing CP community at #cpclubthursday?
