edwardyeeks list of plants (note:REALLY little)

[edwardyeeks]

I only started growing CPs a month ago. So far, I only have the folowing plants:

• Venus Flytrap(1)
• Sarracenia purpurea(1)

I may be going to get some CP seeds, not confirmed. Wish me luck!

Cheers

CP germinate slowly. Never mind. Be patient. I started with a nep(N. ventrata), then a flytrap(Pure green), a drosera(intermedia), sarra(purpurea) and ping(P. primuliflora)

You will surely get more Cps as you get more experienced and as time goes by. If you want some fast plants from seed you could try some of the easy droseras, like capensis, burmanii, aliciae, or intermedia.

Yah intermedia germinate like crazy!! All the seeds that I collected in my intermedia flower frenzy was simply sprinkled on my current intermedia pot. I didn't think about it
much. Then when I checked yesterday plenty of seedlings popped up(more than 30)

I have grown over half my collection from seeds. It does take awhile but the results are worth it.

I'll have to see first, I was thinking of getting d. regia seeds. Tomorrow I am going to a nursery in sg.buloh to get a nepenthes. Is nepenthes truncata a good plant for growing in my condo balcony? Oh, ya, which nursery is the best in sg.buloh? The other day, I went to a nursery sellling nep. rafflesiana for rm38 and the condition of the plants were terrible.

Plants being sold in the nursery are always like that so good luck on your collection!

I have added the following plants to my CP list:

nep.rafflesiana
VFT(typical)

I repotted both of them in larger pots using LFS. My raff is VERY young, it only has one lower pitcher about 3 inches tall. My new VFT is quite fine but I was wondering whether repotting it would damage the plant and kill it. When i removed it from the relatively small pot to repot it in the new and bigger pot, the roots were about 6-7 inches long. I removed some of the sphagnum stuck to the roots but no roots pulled.

By the way, have you ever heard of CPs planted in tanah liat? Mine was like that but I cleaned away the tanah liat.

Hi! Edward…congratulation for adding 2 CPs…u sure will get more CPs in the future…

Get any photo to show ur VFT?? Actually when I get VFT..I also remove it from small pot to bigger pot carefully..After that, that VFT look like very happy and grow bigger than before…I think dun have any problem if u remove ur VFT carefully..

I got heard before..some said ok but mostly people dun agree…I also think like that..so better dun use tanah liat…

[edwardyeeks]

thanks harlem for the advice, my VFT is happy now. well, tanah liat should not be suitable for CPs because it prevents the roots from breathing. well, I am going to try to visit fauzi's nursery this weekend.

Cheers
