I've got some pitcher plants you can have. I propagated them myself from cuttings then nobody wanted them so they have been a bit neglected. Will check they are still with us. They NEED humidity to do well though. I have a few pitchers on the ones in the bathroom but nothing like when I bought them.

 

Got a few sticky plants as well, should be able to separate some. They are much easier to keep.

 

Have tall pitchers too but none spare.

You really seem to know your stuff. Ive got some small saracenia, VFT's and sundews. Also got a large pitcher plant. I have just tried to propagate this with cuttings. So going to see how that goes. Any advice??

Some Sundew ones in the small pots, along with a couple of Peyote Cacti. I don't have pic of the other pitcther plants and can't remember the names!

 

I took cuttings, dipped them in rooting hormone then stuck them in spagnum moss in a damp environment, (large plastic box with water in and large plastic box on top!) they all seemed to grow.

Hi does anyone still have any excess cuttings of pitcher plants that I could take on?

Thanks

I had a load but nobody wanted them so left them outside. Will see if they are still alive.

Thanks, thats great, rest assured that I will look after them/nurse them back to health. Thanks

Get yourself to Ferndale at coal aston, they've got a half decent selection of carni's in my opinion

Thought it would be better to revive this thread than start a new one.

 

Have any of you recently seen peat to buy locally that's suitable for CP repotting?

 

I have perlite already so it is just the correct type of peat I need now.

I've always either picked mine up from the Malvern show ordered it on-line.

 

Have you got a good selection of plants? We've not had much of a winter so I'm a bit concerned that mine won't have had a good dormant period and might have dried out..
