Hi there, I'm Trisha, an artist/illustrator from Pickering, ON, and I'm somewhat new to CPs. I have a large tropical plant collection, but have gotten into CPs in the past year or two. My first was a Nepenthes that gave me the urge to go further into this group of plants, and a couple of Drosera that I grew from seeds. I had tried a NOID flytrap, but I knew nothing about them and only when it was dying did I read about dormancy periods. I mainly have gotten my plants from growing them from seed, and I aim to do the same with CPs as well. I look forward to learning more about these interesting plants (so I don't lose any more of them :X), hopefully connect with some local enthusiasts, and see other people's plants. Looking forward to talking with you all!

Wow, you guys are super friendly and generous. Thank you so much for the welcomes. D. capensis is an easy species? Because I don't want get something too hard for my 'experience level'. And I haven't tried Utricularia yet but was reading about them yesterday. They sound pretty interesting. I sometimes see tiny moving buggy things in soil...Do they eat those? I've been looking around in the forums, getting familiar, so I imagine I'd probably put my very modest collection up in the appropriate section. Thanks again for the welcomes!

The utricularia I have grows in a fish tank or container of water. It will catch microscopic things swimming around in the water. If it is under a microscope you can really see the action Haha! It is very easy to grow and grows very well Fast! You will start with a small clumping and in no time have a huge clump!
