Hi everyone.
I have been getting more and more into CPs over the year or so. I started with a nepenthes pitcher plant and a venus fly trap. Killed the VFT due to a bit of neglect, but the pitcher plant is growing faster and faster all the time, and has three nice big traps on it (after about 5 months of trouble, I discovered I wasn't watering it half as much as I should).
I found this forum after buying some seeds (Drosera alicia and Nepenthes gracilis) and three tiny Drosera dielsiana plants off of Ebay. The seller told me to check out this forum and I'm already glad I did!
Looking forward to learning a lot from the members here. Have already seen some impressive pictures!
-Ian

Welcome! Do you know which Nepenthes you have was it Ventricosa, thats by far one of the best starter neps, but as you get into more depth, you might want to research what every species likes, gracillis likes different conditions than ventricosa.
I recommend you get the Savage Garden, very good for book for beginners. Nice to see you!

You can find people who can kill any type of CP in this forum.

If you haven't killed any, you're not trying hard enough.

Hey! I'm a high school student working on my final physics project for grade 12. I was planning on growing my own plants, but I've killed two of my three plants, so things aren't looking great. I'm just looking to record the closing speed of some venus fly traps to calculate elastic potential, so would anybody be cool with me experimenting with your plants/observing them? Thanks.

This is a old post (like 8 years ago...) it would be best to start your own thread and not post in a old thread making people think this is recent,Just a reminder! I guess the mods would delete these posts? Just playing by the rules
