Hi!

My name's Dan and I've been keeping carniverous plants for a couple of years now, though my interest really exploded this current summer. Before, I had a trumpet pitcher and fly trap, but this summer I've got a lot more plants including different fly trap varieties, sundews and different trumpet pitchers.

At the moment I'm working hard to keep them all alive over a rather wet UK summer.

Excited to pick up some tips and chat with other growers and collectors, especially around keeping everyone happy and healthy coming through to spring.

Welcome! Nice to meet you Dan. If you go back to the home screen here on the forum and scroll down, and click on the seed bank. The seed bank is a great way to get new plants if you’re willing to give it a try. Also, if you go into the Photo contest tab and click on the latest one, you’ll find yourself in the January photo contest. This month the theme is Moss. The person with the most likes wins the prize mentioned in the original post!

I wish you good growing!
