Okay, I am gonna do it. Want carnivorous plant seeds?

@Bexsy gets the first one, but I am going to offer seeds for this plant, drosera capensis:


For the first TEN people that reply to this post.

I will ship at my own cost and to anywhere in the world. I will give you all of the grow instructions.

They need 1:1 peat moss to perlite, and distilled or rainwater, and a bright windowsill. They're a subtropical houseplant.

I understand it's a huge breach of trust to give up your address. But I promise I won't stalk you or try to track you down. 💙

It's my mission to spread knowledge of these beautiful plants that have a reputation for being hard to care for. They are not, they're just different! 🥰💙

@TheDeathOfOzymandiaz VFTs are tough, but they are spectacular. They need very high light and a dormancy (north Carolinian). I'm still figuring them out myself..it'll take a few years
@caccoon I did hear they are difficult to keep. Keep us posted about how you get on.

@TheDeathOfOzymandiaz I will! Mine are sleeping now but they have divided a lot.

The main things with carnivorous plants, if you ever get one, are:

Distilled/rainwater

No fertilizers (unless it's a foliage spray, but still needs to be diluted to a certain concentration)

Soil must be acidic and nutrient-free

Always keep moist or flooded (depending on species)

Lots of light

That all sounds difficult. It's not, it's just a different way of caring ☺

If you ever want help lemme know
@caccoon Thank you. I appreciate that 🙏

@TheDeathOfOzymandiaz np! And they can live a long time with little care and they are always able to be saved. I tried my hardest to kill my nepenthes when I first got it 🤣

Not that I knew it. 🤣
@caccoon You got a proper chuckle for that 😂

@TheDeathOfOzymandiaz god I can still picture the dark corner I put it in with tap water and desert-like conditions

😩😩
@caccoon I bet it is well looked after now

@TheDeathOfOzymandiaz that original one did die in a move, but I have that species still

She's not super happy right now

@caccoon That is an unusual and pretty looking plant
