#cpclubthursday CP CLUB THURSDAY for October 31 2024 Hall...

#cpclubthursday CP CLUB THURSDAY for October 31 2024 Halloween 🎃 👻
“Because if it’s Thursday, it’s Carnivorous Plants Club! “
Welcome to #cpclubthursday
🌟NOW OVER 220 MEMBERS !🌟
FOCUS: Hydroponics CPs!

So here’s a great way to look at growing CPs that seems to be a great way as with most hydroponics, you need to add nutrients to the water but with CPs they prefer a nutrient free medium to grow in (hence eg peat moss/perlite or pure sphagnum moss!)

This guy is a great resource for anyone growing Nepenthes indoors (hence the Windowsill Nepenthes) and Remy is based in Canada (from France hence French accent!). So I have been watching his LetPot hydroponic videos and he just released his latest update.
Here’s the video and it’s fairly short (6.5 minutes):

It’s similar to other brands like Aerogarden (did they go out of business recently !?!) in using plugs into a water reservoir and grow lights.

Anyway share if you have tried this hydroponic system for your own CPs or similar or planning to give it a go!

Oh and Remy has a nice simple Nepenthes growing guide on Amazon (only 42 pages):

Pitcher Plants Beginner Guide: Easily grow these carnivorous plants on your windowsill, choose the right species, understand their needs, and keep them healthy and pitchering. https://a.co/d/6whOjrH


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 210 or more members? There is already a wealth of CP info so why not just join our growing CP community at #cpclubthursday!

Happy Chompys 😊🪰🦟🚫
