Some Genliseas

Spring has finally come! So I repotted my Genliseas to renew their soils. I use peat and perlite mix for their  soil, which is the best to grow Genlisea sorts as far as I know. But the thing is that it's easy to get rotten. So I have to renew the soil quite often.

 This is my only G. aurea 'Itacambira'. It is not so difficult to cultivate but its growing is extremely slow. And it's shown no signs of flowering at all for almost 4 years.

 These are G. glandulossima. Compared with G. aurea, they grow a bit faster.

 The roots of G. lobata x flexuosa. This is the easiest of all I grow.

Helianphora minor

I obtained a pot of Helianphora minor about 1 year ago at a cornivorous plant meeting. One of the participants brought the pods, and generously enough, he gave them to us on free! Since then, I've been growing the first and the only Helianphora at my grow space.

This is the appearance about a year ago.

And this is now! It is not very quickly but gradually growing. This spring, I'm going to separate the roots to some pots.

I carelessly dropped a hard thing onto this pitcher and it's damaged... Any parts of Helanphora has no flexibility at all and they break very easily! But it's still growing even after damaged.
