Happy #cpclubthursday fellow carnivore lovers! It's super rainy here today. I let my #capesundew Octavia get a little sun during a break in the rain. I have been tucking her under a shelf on my porch so she still gets a little sun but also doesn't get too drenched. I have been doing this with my bog as well-- I'm a bit worried about over watering my new carnivorous plants, especially as they get used to their new environment! I have been pouring out excess water from the bog because there is no drainage hole. I hope they do okay. Is there anything else I should be doing with all this rain? I want to keep them outside but it's been crazy rainy in Missouri. And I have another question about cape sundew. Should I feed her? Or is it wise to let her settle in first? I just got her three days ago. #carnivorousplants #sundew #boggarden #theamigos

Meet Octavia, my new Cape Sundew! ☀️ She is hanging out in a tray of rainwater with Deathstalker the VFT, soaking up the sun's rays. #capesundew #sundew #carnivorousplants #cpclubthursday #carnivorousclub

Nepenthes vs Venus Fly Traps/Sundews...Oh so different! #cpclubthursday Hi CP Club Members We had a great response to this week's Club Thursday so thanks for the contributions and new club members who joined. A club member raised a great question I want to answer here. What's the difference in the growing conditions and requirements of Nepenthes pitcher plants (N) compared to Venus Fly Traps (VFTs), Sarracenia Pitcher Plants and Sundews (bog plants) As I hinted above, bog plants grow in areas like North Carolina in the USA where there is lots of sun in summer and constant wet conditions, growing close to the ground. Ns are tropical plants from places like South East Asia (eg Borneo/Philippines) so similar conditions to orchids. They also grow on trees like orchids in mountainous areas, not on the ground. So the more you understand these differences, the better you can adapt your conditions to suit their needs! Happy to answer any more questions below. Attached are some more guides (note from different countries so you may need to convert measurements, etc) https:// https:// https:// https:// https:// https:// #cpclubthursday #carnivorousplants #carnivorousclub #venusflytrap #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy

Ok but how cute is Winston? #CapeSundew #CarnivorousPlants #sundaycheckin

Fungus Gnat Muncher!🦟🍴 Just some photos of the sticky leaves of a Cape Sundew with some gnats caught, the plant can even curl its leaf to help it hold and digest the bugs. They make great additions to have around your other indoor plants which is why I bought them in the first place when I had a fungus gnat infestation. They help keep the numbers down. The only catch is they need the same conditions as other carnivorous plants, low mineral water and soil. A great carnivorous plant for any beginner! #carnivorousplants #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict
