Growing Carnivorous Plants from seeds
After not being able to find carnivorous plants in local nurseries I decided to get some seeds and grow it by myself, when I logged on to internet and searched around regarding growing such plants I came to know that there are many carnivorous plants enthusiast or grower out there who have been successfully growing these plants and cultivating them from long time. But it was not just about getting seeds and plant will grow right away since these plants grow in specific type of growing media which is nutrition free otherwise roots will burn and seedlings will die down. Then I went on hunt to find growing media for the seeds(which my friend sent from abroad) while my seeds were on the way. Majorly the growing media required to grow CPs(carnivorous plants) are Sphagnum moss or sphagnum peat moss, there are other different growing media which people use but basically these are the two main growing media which are used and many times mixed with perlite or silica sand to make a proper mixture for the plants.
