Flytrap question
 

I have grown them for years,bu down to only a few these days. I have a plant that has flower twice in t past two years. For the past 2 months it has yet to put out any new traps since the flower bloomed. Is my plant dead,what happened.

just got into carnivous plants and can't help much. Will watch this post and hope to learn more, am currently on several carnivous plants forums and learning a lot. Do you grow any other kind? Would love fresh seed when available since the stuff I got online doesn't seem to be very viable. Good luck and good growing.

Re: Flytrap question
 

Yeah... Usually the energy spent to create the flower ends up killing the plant... Or so I have read... Once I read that, I started cutting the flower as soon as I see it...

Yeah,it's odd Some it didnt bother,but maybe since this was a old plant that was enough to do it in. Sucks..

I grow green pitcher plant and neps hanging basket type pitchers.

I have a VFT that I bought at Lowe's for $.25 a few years ago... It was in such bad shape that it took almost a year before it was healthy... It's taken a beating, but still catches bugs every day...

I have a hanging Pitcher Plant as well... They leave my back porch irritation free... Not sure what to do with the Pitcher in the winter... I'll have to do some research...

Re: Flytrap question
 

Pitcher will do fine in a mild temp room with bright light. Mist it once awhile. Just make sure it's not near a bad draft or heat vents. Mine is putting out flowers which never heard of them or seen that happen. Yeah lowes has VFT's here for sale as well,but need to chill out on buying plants :)

will there be fresh seed available? have what is supposed to br fresh from june but after 3 weeks there isn't any indication of germination, I know some take a good while but this is three different varities. got my fingers crossed and hope some get to work.

These flowers are tiny on the hanging basket and no idea on the seeds.
