FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hi everyone

When i was middle school student, I grew many carnivorous plants such as sundew, VFT, Sarracenia, Nepenthes etc.

Most of them were successful but Rotundifolia.

Recently I only grow VFT, intermedia, carpensis and burmanii.

From coming summer I’m planning to grow one of my favorite, Rotundifolia but I’m afraid of letting this plant die again..

So if there is any tips for this plant, please share for me!

What i did for Rotundifolia is below :

I live in South Korea, where the summer temperature goes high up to 35c (95F) and winter down to -15C(5F)

Put it in the outside of my house

More than 6 hours direct sunlight

Midium Peatpearl 5:5

Tray merges all the time

VFT and intermedia thrive under this condition but only Rotundifolia dies..

I would recommend protecting it from direct sun when it is the hottest. Also, be sure to give it some protection in the winter.

Thanks ! I bought this plants in South Korea so I think it was suit for here's climate but there was something wrong with my care ..

Thank you ! I thought that was one of the reason why my plants dead, direct sunlight. I will take care of that this time.

unfortunately my plants dead before winter comes .. so I will try to let them live until winter and spring this time !
