MEETINGS

Meetings are friendly and informative and cater for the experienced grower or new collector to the hobby. Occasionally, we have guest presenters who will give a talk on their adventures discovering Carnivorous Plants in the wild, or how best to cultivate them in your environment.

We hope you are able to attend one of our meetings and enjoy the fellowship of other enthusiasts for these wonderful plants.

IN THE GREENHOUSE

ALDROVANDA Plants are in active growth. Consider adding fresh decomposing leaf litter to the water to add CO2 as it decays. Keep frogs and tadpoles out of the water, which eat the plants. Plants may be grown in shade to reduce algae growth.

BROCCHINIA / CATOPSIS Maintain high light levels and humidity. Water from above and protect from frost. Feed with 1/4 strength urea free liquid fertiliser.

BYBLIS Byblis gigantea and lamellata will be in full growth. Flowering occurs in Spring and Summer. Cross pollinate flowers using the “Buzz” technique to produce fertile seed. Keep the soil moist.

The northern annual species of Byblis may be sown now. Germination commences when temperatures regularly reach 30°C. Artificial heat and/or smoke/GA3 treatment will induce germination.

CEPHALOTUS Keep the soil moist but well drained. Avoid fungal problems by keeping good air movement around the plants. Flowering occurs in mid to late Spring. Leaf and pitcher cuttings may be taken now.

DARLINGTONIA Darlingtonia is in active growth with pitcher and flower production. The stolons may appear at the edge of the pots. The stolons may be detached and cut into 4-5cm lengths to produce new plants. Keep moist and expose to cold temperatures for as long as possible.

DIONAEA All VFTs are in active growth with fresh leaves and flowers. Consider removing the flower spike and use in vegetative propagation.

DROSERA Most tuberous Drosera are now dormant. Reduce watering. Sow seed on the surface of the soil and expose to full sun and heat to aid germination in Autumn.

Pygmy Drosera will begin to flower as temperatures increase. Keep plants moist to wet.

Other Winter growing species such as D. ramentacea, cistiflora and pauciflora are now dormant. Stop watering and keep the soil barely moist.

Tropical and sub-tropical species will be in growth. Keep protected from frost.

Temperate Drosera such as D. filiformis, D. intermedia and D. rotundifolia are in growth and flower.

DROSOPHYLLUM Drosophyllum will be in active growth and requires frequent feeding. In the absence of insect prey, a 1/4 strength urea free liquid fertiliser applied to the leaves is fine.

Drosophyllum tolerates higher soil moisture levels during the cooler months and may be watered using the tray method. As temperatures increase, reduce watering and keep the soil just moist. Flowering commences in Spring. Flowers are self fertile.

GENLISEA Genlisea should be in flower and active growth. Keep the water levels high. Keep warm and in bright light.

HELIAMPHORA Keep plants in a bright and humid location. Feed with 1/4 strength urea free liquid fertiliser. Flowering occurs during the Spring. Collect pollen using the “buzz” technique and use to pollinate the next flower on the scape or another flower.

NEPENTHES Spring is a great time for Nepenthes. Aim to keep the lowland plants above 15°C.

Highland species enjoy the cooler nights and will continue to grow. Keep plants above 10°C at night and 20-25°C during the day.

PINGUICULA Most Mexican species/hybrids are ending their dormancy. Keep the soil drier until growth resumes. Some of the non-carnivorous leaves may be removed for leaf cuttings.

Warm-temperate species such as P. primuliflora and lusitanica will continue growth. Flowering occurs in the Spring. Keep the water up to P. primuliflora and take leaf cuttings.

RORIDULA Roridula is in active growth. Flowering occurs in Winter and Spring. Sow seed now onto moist peat/sand. Germination may take 3-8 weeks. Keep the soil moist and place in very bright situations. Ensure good air circulation to avoid fungal attack of the seedlings.

SARRACENIA All Sarracenia species/hybrids will resume growth with fresh leaf shoots and flowers. Sarracenia flava and oreophila species look their best in Spring. Increase the water level / frequency and keep in full sun.

UTRICULARIA Most terrestrial Utricularia will be in active growth and flower. Keep moist to wet. Flowering will resume.

Aquatic Utricularia are in active growth.

Winter growing species, such as U. multifida and U. menziesii will begin to end their life cycle as temperatures increase and soils dry out.

Tropical Utricularia - Maintain higher temperatures, humidity and air movement. Keep soils moist during the warmer months.
