Saskatoon CP growers!!!

[Mateo T.M.]

I'm from Saskatoon and I have pretty much bought all the species I can find at stores in the city. I'm getting some stuff to expand my greenhouse and I would like to get some different species nepenthes and droseras that don't hibernate. If anyone is willing to trade or sell me some it would be very appreciated

Do you have a list of which plants you currently have? Are you willing to start from seed for any of them or do you want to go straight to plants?

I know I have 1 or 2 st. Gaya and I might have a ventrata or ventricosa,but the rest haven't pitchers and I can't identify them, I was told my growing conditions were intermediate. I would prefer plant, I don't think I have the setup for seeds yet

Seeds don't really need much of a setup.

Nice little start there! Like @Lloyd Gordon said, for certain seeds, they're pretty easy to get going. That being said, getting good, fresh Nepenthes seeds can be tricky, though @nepenthes seeds supplier has consistently sent me seed that germinates well. As for Drosera seeds, you can get a decent sized plant in a short amount of time and even harvest your own seed, sometimes, within a year (for Drosera, Nepenthes take way longer to harvest seed).

If you do want to try some seeds out, I've got a Drosera blooming right now that should be dropping seeds within the next couple weeks. Could potentially send a pack or two your way if you want to give it a go.

For sure! I would like to give seeds a try, how do I set up for them, note: I don't have live long fiber sphagnum moss

Do you also happen to have any nepenthes?

For Drosera seeds, I just use a mixture of peat/perlite at a 50/50 mix. Fill a small pot, sprinkle the seeds on top and leave in a nice humid area till they germinate. I keep my sundew pots sitting in trays of water with either humidity domes over them or in a little grow tent. Can also potentially use cling wrap on the top of the pot to get the humidity levels up. I'm definitely not the leading expert on this though, there are a ton of incredibly talented and knowledgeable growers on here that know way more than myself.

Do you also happen to have any nepenthes?

I have a few plants growing, though most of them are less than the size of a dime at this point, they're just in the process of germinating right now. If the majority of the seedlings make it, I'll likely have too many of some varieties.

And what species are the sundews?

 

[Lloyd Gordon]

Any of the subtropical sundews are very easy to grow from seed (like weeds). Try our seedbank.
