FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Ok so the ping I thoght was the weakest and definately going to die is going hard!!!!! It is even making carnivorous leaves. Its still tiny, but it made it through the hard part. It is the frist plant I have ever received bare root and planted that has lived (cp wise).

This was it about 2 weeks ago:

Awww, it look's really cute, and it's really taken off too

u sound very lucky
it looks good compared o ur cp vid on youtube

Lovely! I'd love one of those Pinguicula. Great growing there, I'm glad it worked out for you.

Glad it is doin so well!

Looks awesome! Very nice ! Have fun with it

Looks great. Do u think frog/tadpole pellets would work too? I asked this in my own topic for flytraps and everyone seemed to say no lol. Thought I would ask someone who uses beta pellets.

UHm.. Ill have to read the ingredients. They might if they are mostly bloodworms and other bugs. Make sure the fat content isnt to high. It should say on the bottle. Yuo can post ur brand if you need help

Great looking plant Doomsday! It'll look really good once it's fully awake!

Hey GardenNub, I used crushed beta pellets on my pings and my sundews and it works really well. Especially with my dews, I've noticed a big response by feeding them. I've noticed less of a response in my pings, but I'm sure it helps while they're still under lights. Just make sure you don't put too much crushed pellet on your leaves, mine have sometimes rotted through due to excess nutrients I think (too much for a small leaf to uptake?).

Lookin' good

Very nice!
