Greetings all,
I have been interested in CPs as long as I can remember, or at least since I watched Johnny Weismiller get trapped by one. However, I live here in Florida and although it is semitropical I have had a hard time sustaining our precious plants. I have tried many things like making my own terrarium with grow lamps (very large and expensive). That did not work. The best success I had was when I had an air conditioned office with a southern view and I was diligent in keeping them watered. That worked until I lost my office. Now I have a 10 gallon aquarium on its side with a homemade door that I leave ajar on the patio that seems to be working better. As an experiment I am trying a flytrap and some Drosera (these grow naturally here just a couple of miles from my house). The Darlingtonia Californica did not last, as I expected. Are there any enthusiasts local to Orlando?
