Hi all! My name is TobiLynne and I'm a new member of the ICPS. I've had flytraps on & off for the last 10 years or so (the longest living for about 2 years. Hoping to vastly improve that record  ). Currently, I have one flytrap and one sarracenia plant, with 4 sundews on the way. They're in smaller, individual terrariums in a sunny window for now and appear to be doing quite well, though I realize that's going to have to change eventually given Ohio's rather dreary weather for much of the year. Hence, joining this forum to glean your expert knowledge! |

Hi Tobilynne! I am new to this forum as well (and to grow carnivorous plants). If you want to know more about the plants and growing them I would like to suggest "the savage garden" by Peter D'amato. I read alot online, but nothing beats a book. Browsing online very quickly become confusing. BTW, nice to hear someone from Ohio. The first place I ever visited in the US was Ohio  . |

Hi Xenia! Where are you from originally? I have been pouring over Barry Rice's "Growing Carnivorous Plants" book, which is not only very helpful, but EXTREMELY funny! Thanks for the recommendation - I will definitely pick that one up as well. Hi Tobilynne! I am new to this forum as well (and to grow carnivorous plants).

Hi Tobilynne,
Glad to hear your a member of the ICPS...so am I. It sounds like you're off to a great start on your CP collection. What species of sundew are you getting?
I currently have D capensis, D cistaflora, D regia, D nidiformis, D adelae, and D venusta.
I wish you much success with your carnivorous plants!

Welcome indeed! I too would recommend The Savage Garden - as an almost complete amateur, it's really helped me to not kill my plants |

Welcome! It's always nice to hear about other CP growers from Ohio. I'm in Mount Vernon, but the Ohio Carnivorous Plant Society (http://www.ohcps.org) has members from all over the state. Hope your plants are doing well Cheers, |

Hi dscoots! I have 2 varieties of spatulata. They looked absolutely dead when they arrived (totally dried out), and I assumed they were goners. I rinsed them off with some distilled water, pretty much buried them in a terrarium, and stuck them in a window ... 2 weeks or so later, they are sparkling with dew, and even have new little ones popping up around them. How do you grow yours? Hi Tobilynne, Glad to hear your a member of the ICPS...so am I. It sounds like you're off to a great start on your CP collection. What species of sundew are you getting?
