Is anyone into carnivorous plants?

Just bought some Drosera and nepenthes seeds, cant wait to get them going.
I read gibberellic acid helps the seeds germinate somehow, can anyone shed more light on this for me? Nepenthes left drosera right

I've never grown Nepenthes or Drosera from seed, but from what I can read online it seems like the fresher the seed the better, and to sow them on sphagnum moss and put your pot in a sealed plastic baggie for humidity.

I have a typical flytrap that I hope I put into dormancy and didn't kill, if it comes back in the spring I was thinking about getting a couple more cultivars.

Yep, this is what i also read. Apparently for a higher success rate, you need to add a gram of gebberellic acid to a liter of distilled water then soak the seeds for 24 hours in a napkin soaked in the solution. I think the reason they do it this way is because waiting for a year full of climate changes to split the seed is just too long a wait. The gibberellic helps shorten the germination time.

Yeah man, venus flytraps are really cool. Ive seen venus flytrap extract online too, wonder what it is good for.

I've had a couple purple pitcher plants, I don't have experience staring from seed. I have killed all of my pitcher plants during hibernation. I've had a couple Sarracenia purpurea and they do fine in the summer, but then I forget to keep them wet during the winter and they die.
Really cool plants though, water it with distilled water only and feed it small crickets if its looking weak. No fertilizer, they are carnivorous for a reason.

Its been a bitch trying to find someone who will ship gibberellic acid to me because of my location.
I found one supplier but a couple of days after i order it, they wanted to add 70$ to the s/h lol, i cancelled my order.
Any advice out there?

It reminds me of the 'doctrine of signatures.' Has jaws, eats cancers.
Maybe, it's reasonable, that things like mushrooms, bog plants, and eaters of insects, would have immune properties, to protect them, in their natural environment.
Also, some believe that carnivorous plants narcotize their prey, so have psychoactive properties.

May I ask where you're located?
There's no need to be overly-specific, if that makes you feel uncomfortable.
(I think I have misspoken, as gibberellin is technically a lengthening hormone.)

Probably, because, it grows very long, very fast.

Im in the virgin islands, maybe U.S., maybe British lol the flag under my avatar doesnt help.
But yeah, screw gibberellic acid, im going the route of patience. 4 to 8 weeks typically for the beginner friendly species of drosera and nepenthes.
Im going to post all my progress here from seed.
If you have any carnivorous plants, please share along with me.

Just buy a sack of kelp meal. Soak some of it in some water, then use that 'tea' to soak your seeds. Kelp should have a place in your garden anyways. Besides the auxins, there's plenty of macro, micro, and trace nutes.

imho, it would change the overall form of the plant. Someone might dabble, with plant hormones, to create a mutant.

Idk I bought it from someone less than a year ago That's like a second gemmae or whatever, kind of like a cactus pup, I am pretty sure I could separate it into two plants but I like it how it is The leaves are much smaller cuz it was in the window, the larger leaves came after I put it under my t5, It never used to curl up and catch bugs but now that it has those big leaves and extra sticky juice it eats the shit out of some gnats

I was thinking the little grass sprouts could be drosera capensis(think thats the correct spelling). See what happens 
Here are the drosera rotundifolia seeds and the litte bed i made for them in this petri of mine.
 They like a 50/50 mix of sand and sphangum moss, didnt have silica sand and i was afraid to use beach sand. So i went with two tbl spoons of crushed perlite, two tbl spoons of peat, and one tbl spoon of vermiculite, hydrated with purifide water a little on the muddy side, and sprinkeld the seeds ontop without covering them at all. Then i seaaled it up with cling wrap, and placed it ontop of my cabinet right below my bright kitchen light. 4-8 weeks wait now..

Just speaking hypothetically, here.
I can see why the bright blue stuff, containing potash and urea, will burn a tender plant. It's fumes burn my nose and eyes, from under a humidity dome.
But, a peat bog is basically floating in compost tea. Full of nutrients, dissolved so finely, that it can be absorbed through the leaves.

Some of the soil recipes vary for different species, but from what i have read i think most droseras like 50/50 peat and sand.
I see what your saying tho, especially with coir i would think.

Yeah I mean the whole reason carnivorous plants evolved the way they did is because they can't get nutrients from their environment 50/50 sphagnum moss and perlite is what I use

I haven't had much success with Venus fly traps, but I'm considering getting some pitcher plants this spring. I saw them for sale last Fall in Atlanta along with other plants that aren't meant to be grown in containers, so I assumed they might survive in a low, wet area in the general vicinity? I'm going to give it a shot anyway, might keep some in a pot too.

Are these tropical pitchers (nepenthes) or american pitchers (sarracenia)?
My book has some great soil recipies for both if your interested in mixing your own.
I reccomend using a pot for any carnivorous plants. The nepenthes like the soil wet to moist but you can use the tray method on pitchers.

Flytraps can be a challenge, before I put mine into dormancy I repotted it into an acidic organic mix lacking nutes and it was doing great, peat, coir and sand. Some people use 100% long fiber spagnum with great results. Most important part is low PPM water, distilled or RO.

I have some nepethene x ventrata plants they're not doing the greatest as far as producing pitchers... I've been misting them as much as possible, maybe it's because I have them in just neutral soil with perlite?
Should I put them in new substrate?

Yeah what redz said.
I believe the nepenthes like it outdoors like the flytraps, are your plants indoor or out?

They're indoors. They're still pretty young too... They're only about 8 months old from cutting so idk.
I'll be getting some sphagnum peat moss soon.

They are sweet looking plants, and gnats are what drew me to them...but now I want one like in the OPs post.
How big should they be before introducing them into the gnat area, I was going to hold off a bit, but do not know if it matters.

That can happen with sundews and pitcher plants and stuff if they eat stuff that's too large to digest, but gnats are tiny and those bitches be hungry ;D
