Let me introduce myself:
Name : Joachim Herb
Age : 35
Location: 15 Km near G\366ttingen / GERMANY
My English is not very good, but...... lets go for it:
A few days ago i found this server and the possibility to get and
discuss information about CP.
In the age of 18/19 i first discovered my interest on CP. But the few
plants i got didn't live for a long time . Everything was wrong: light,
water, temperature. (now i know.) This was the end of my interest on
CP.
It was April this year, that i saw lots of CP's (pinguicula, drosera,
dionaea, sarracenia and nepenthes) at different flower-shops in
G\366ttingen. And there it was again, my interest on CP. I bought
several Plants, an aquarium (60x30x35cm), a german book about growing
CP, 2 Osram HQL80 lamps, CP-soil (ready mixture) and destilled water and
started again with CP.
In the last half year i bought some more CP's, small aquariums and ready
CP-soil. Meanwhile i have a 200 l box for collecting rainwater.
All my plants are looking very good and i had success to grow new young
plants from leaves(?) of Drosera Rotundifolia, Spathulata and Aliciae.
I also was successful in growing Drosera Aliciae from seed.
Next spring i plan to buy a growing house (aprox. 3x6m with controlled
heater [i hope i have the money to pay all this]) and concentrate me on
growing Nepenthes inside it. In my garden i will create a "Moorbeet"
for Sarracenia, Drosera and Utricularia.
Actually i have the following species:
Dionaea Muscipula
Drosera Adelae, Aliciae, Capensis, Rotundifolia, Spathulata and X-Hybridia
Pinguicula Esseriana and 2 different species (dont exactly know which)
Byblis liniflora
Drosophyllum lusitanicum
Nepenthes 1 species (dont know which)
Sarracenia Purpurea, Rubra, Psittacina and 1 species (looks like Leucophylla)
Darlingtonia californica
A few days ago i wrote (snail) to the german "Gesellschaft f\374r
fleischfressende Pflanzen" to become a member of GfP. If there are some
members of GfP here in this CP group:

That's all for today. If anybodody has questiones to me, send a mail.
Have luck and a nice Day
Joachim
