I'm really a cacti/succulent grower, but I've been lurking here amongst the
CPs.

Are there any cacti/succulent mailing lists? Shall we start one?

I've been pretty successful with propagation. I have ~40 different species,
maybe ~130 total plants. For the past year I haven't been acquiring many
new ones, mostly because I can't find many new interesting species locally,
and I don't have any room for more...

>From seed, only semi-successful (actually, haven't tried that much).

And from spores, I've raised a few ferns as well! But these take a long
time (8months - 1yr); seal them and wait.

Well, I did have a VFT once for a short while... I think it overheated.
Someday I'll try again.

Now, back to CPs...

ps: I believe an article in some recent issue of Journal of Botany
concerned Sarracenia (or some CP species)... I don't believe anyone
mentioned it on this list. I'll check again.
