Hi Richard & all!

I'm having good success in growing Genlisea hispidula almost as an aquatic
plant: I use no pot at all, I just put the plants floating in a piece of
styrofoam (with a piece of live sphagnum to help). The plants stay almost
completely submerged (only the ends of the leaves are outside the water).
This way I can see the traps growing in the water.

Well. It's just an idea. It worked for me. They flowered very soon and grew
very well.

Miguel
