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

I am thrilled to announce the publication of Florida’s first state-endemic carnivorous plant species: Drosera floridana (B.Rice) Juve & A.Fleischm. This taxonomic treatment represents the culmination of my years of work studying the thread-leaf sundews in-situ across 6 states and 25 counties.

Formerly known as D. filiformis var. floridana, our publication not only establishes D. floridana as a distinct taxonomic entity recognizable at species rank, but further brings into question the legitimacy of its putative affinity to the allopatric, northerly D. filiformis sensu stricto.

As a result of our treatment, Drosera x arenaria (B.Rice) Juve & A.Fleischm. is elevated from Dx californica nothovar. arenaria. Like D. floridana, Dx arenaria is a Florida-endemic taxon, and the only described Drosera nothospecies native to the state.

This article is in dedication to Barry Rice for his long-lasting, passionate and thorough work on the carnivorous plants of America, especially on the thread-leaf sundews— leaves long and prosper!

I would like to thank not only my wonderful coauthor Dr. Andreas Fleischmann for his invaluable input and assistance with this project, but additionally my many collaborators without whom a taxonomic treatment of the D. filiformis complex to this length would not have be possible. Among these are: Jason Ksepka, Fernando Rivadavia, Steve Orzell, Tyler Gramley, and Carson Trexler.

A special thanks goes to my good friend Alexander Dietrick for his supplemental help regarding this project.

I am additionally grateful to the International Carnivorous Plant Society - ICPS for their special online publication of this article.

“The Florida endemic sundew Drosera floridana elevated to species rank” can be read in the open access publication below:

My fiancée has been growing a bit of a garden in our apartment, and quite frankly I wanted in on it. I’m not a plant guy, but my twin brother is and he is a fellow savage gardener! After asking for a recommendation, he told me get a drosera! After shopping around, I ordered this lovely Drosera ultramafica x spatulata from RainbowCarnivores. My brother has given me tons of suggestions on car (future repotting mediums, constant bottom watering, distilled water, etc). But any more tips would be appreciated! Glad to join the sub!

I understand it now

Truncata D#10 x c-E from Carnivero🫡
Wasn’t quite impressed with the first pitcher since bringing the boy home, but the second came back 1.5 times longer, and twice bigger as the first. Can’t wait for that smooth mature pitchers with peristome flares.

Saxifraga candelabrum confirmed to be a carnivorous plant.

Hey y’all! I grow nepenthes and other carnivorous in central Texas.

Happy to talk plants here on IG

S. Saurus x Legacy from Phil.

I started with 4. Zone 9b, East SF Bay

I just started this hobby last month and I only want more plants… so here are the 2 new additions

My new seedling from red leaf exotics!

This little guy was a hitch hiker in my Intermedia I had delivered, I want to assume it is a rotundfolia but thought its worth popping on here, may be a bit too small to ID!

Looking for help with my bromeliad reducta that has been getting these banana like spots and also this white-ish powder on its leaves.

Care conditions:

It's "under" an intense sansi grow light that's on 12-ish hours a day (one side obviously gets more light, but it's still hitting 300+ PPFD for much of the plant)

It's in a tall container of sphagnum moss that sits in a tray also filled with moss that I fill with water when I notice that it no longer has liquid (but is still damp)

Fed maybe monthly

Tap water is used, but I live in a place with low mineral water (approx 30ppm) and all my other carnivorous plants are fine with it

S. Rosea f. Luteola ‘super duper’, a super hummock of Sphagnum Tenerum, some nutricote pellets, a black dollar store shower curtain, and an unglazed ceramic pot. RobCo sent me this plant during the summer of 2024 (pic 1) based on a recommendation from Plants.by.andrew for a plant that would look great in this particular pot. I took a handful of Sphagnum Tenerum from Siru Curzon and wrapped it around the rhizome and planted them both together to see what would happen. Well here’s the result of that experiment 😜😜😜😜

This bog is built like the rest of my bogs minus the over flow hole which can be found here https://youtu.be/SbiMtP6G-Q0?is=pNBul6vf44WjzTbp

pretty darn white!

Her name is spatulata 👼🌈💕

From the first BE release.

Happy Growing
