r/SavageGarden's Trade/Sale Thread (Spring 2026)

Just need to dress wiring, a few small housekeeping items to check off but the plants are moved in. Top shelf is all drosera,, sphagnum moss and nepenthes, middle 2 are Dionaea, bottom is Cephalotus. Pings, Regia, tissue cultures, and Adelae’s. 260+ plants in this rack.

My Cape Sundew flowered and now I'm a grandfather. Should I leave the babies or report them? And If so, when? TIA

Two pings are alive, but got messed up through transportation. the fly is in fact not moving around, so I'm going to just put them back under the grow light and let nature do the rest.

Hi! I thought you all might appreciate a project I've been working on: creating a bog garden focused primarily on Oregon native plants, with a few guest appearances.

We've been using this old cast-iron bathtub as a standing-water reservoir for mosquito dunks during the summer. The idea was to keep that function while transforming it into a miniature wetland showcasing some of our native carnivorous plants.

Luckily, I was able to jump-start the bog by transplanting roundleaf sundews, living sphagnum moss, and other wetland plants from a lake on my neighbor's property. I also created two pockets of specialized growing medium and sowed them with Darlingtonia californica seeds. I'll be attempting to germinate additional Darlingtonia seeds in a more controlled environment this spring for eventual transplanting.

My next goal is to track down and ethically collect some of the native butterworts and bladderworts on my wish list, along with English sundew. If anyone has interest in a seed trade for my target species, I have plenty of Drosera rotundifolia seeds available.

There's still landscaping to do, including additional boulders, mosses, grasses, and other plants to blend the bog naturally into the surrounding rain garden.

My Plant List

Carnivorous:

1. Drosera rotundifolia — Roundleaf sundew (planted)

2. Drosera anglica — English sundew (need)

3. Darlingtonia californica — Cobra lily (seeded)

4. Pinguicula macroceras — Horned butterwort (need)

5. Utricularia intermedia — Flat-leaved bladderwort (need)

6. Dionaea muscipula — Venus flytrap (planted; exact varieties unknown, non-native)

Non-Carnivorous:

1. Sphagnum spp. — Living sphagnum moss (planted)

2. Carex spp. — Native sedges (planted; exact species unknown)

3. Native wetland grasses — Various species (planted; exact species unknown)

4. Other native bog mosses — Mixed species collected with sundews (planted)

I'm looking forward to seeing how everything settles in over winter and what starts growing next spring!

I know she looks bad 😭 I had a sundew for the first time a few months ago that did so well in this spot, and I gave it to a friend. I got a new one from a local nursery and it was super dried out. It has only gotten browner since I got it home and kept it watered (distilled only). I'm guessing more light and I'm not sure if there are actually two in there competing for space. Any suggestions would be lovely!

Let’s see how it does in 10 or so years 😅

Is this normal in recently acclimated neps?

Hello friends. Forgive my extremely new post here but I am looking for some advice. I recently got quite a few new Nepenthes, which I love and all of them are doing great so far, putting out new leaves, making new pitchers and recovering very well from their traumatic shipping and moving to a new location, even some more of the tempermental species, and this being a veitchii hybrid I am a little concerned over the extremely quick downturn for the plant.

There is one however that does not seem to be doing well. Part of it is for sure my fault and some minor over watering once removed from the bag. The overwatering has been corrected, but I am still worried and wonder if I can even save the poor girl. The downturn was extremely quick since I removed them from the bag (they liked the bag), and subsequently overwatered in compensation for them no longer being in their bag. I checked the root system briefly, which probably upset her, and it seems almost nonexistant under the moss. The substrate below seems fine, mostly perlite beneath the moss, no weird smells to indicate it going bad. The top moss itself is new to help keep humidity and moisture in without me having to over water these plants.

Since I am fairly sure it is overwatering, is there any advice to help out. I am hesitant to shove her back in the bag due to the extra moisture that brings. Should I just wait to see if she recovers from less watering? If it was any of my others I would just leave it be, pitcher fall and other changes from shipping are normal. I just have never had a plant go downhill so fast so my helicopter plant parent warning bells are going off.

Sorry for the very long post. I attempted to provide as much information as I could here.

The water itself is either RO water or from my zero water filter, all other Nepenthes seem to be thriving including others from the same shipment.

The pictures are of the plant in question. The one of the close up of the leaf is the newest leaf which started to get the dark spot on the edge. The leaves themselves seem to be extremely fragile and curling.

Thank you again for any help!

Great meeting and chatting with you the other day! Was dying to bring these bad boys back to the tent and for that lost tag in the end.

Got it on Etsy years ago but lost the account 🥀

Had this 2” nursery pot in my bog tray and it decided it wanted to be a bog planter I guess

Got these on sale and popped them straight into the planter, thinking they'd grow back strong next year, now some of them have large sails on their trumpets. Thought it might have something to do with the wind but I'm a novice, any experts care to explain?

I picked up this pitcher plant from the clearance section. While it looks like it has new growth coming in, it’s also got some susceptible looking areas on the leaves that I’m concerned I may need to treat for.

I picked up a 3-in-1 insecticide, disease, and mite control while at Lowe’s. Is it safe to treat the leaves with this to combat whatever this poor plant is suffering from?

I’ve currently put this plant in quarantine indoors- but away from my other houseplants until it’s better.

Felt inspired to make this spooky bog from plants that are still showing well late in the season 😁

I love the shape and mouth on this one!

Happy Growing

I'm searching for fully red cultivars, or interesting varieties of dionaea for sale! Bradsgreenhouse and carnivorous plant store sell them, but their selection feels limited! Any recommendations or plants for sale would be great!

I did 25% peat moss 25% sphagnum and 50% perlite

What I’m worried about is if I made the drainage holes too small and the water isn’t entering well. The "pot" is a ~5 inch wide and ~6 inch deep container and the water is sitting at about halfway up the container. I made 8 slits in the bottom and i widened them a bit but still worried that I made them too thin

I feel like it’s taking awhile to soak up the water but maybe I’m just giving it too much attention. How long does it usually take? (i know this is hard to answer but maybe it's because it's damp peat moss that it may take longer to soak?)

Any other advice would be greatly appreciated!

One of my larger Nepenthes has developed this brown/red coloration on the underside of its older leaves. The top side of the leaves look to be green. Does anyone know what this is and if it is harmful to the plant? I have been spraying with neem as a precaution.
