For over 35 years I have grown various groups of plants - cacti & succulents, orchids, ferns etc.
And I am very much into gardening. But have never grown vegetables.

A few weeks ago, I was watching a gardening program, and there was a feature on Chillies. I really enjoy spicy food, and don't quite know why, but I was tempted to grow a few.

Went to the garden centre and bought a few small plants - about 5 different varieties.. Which are now in my...

Not much of a passionate soul for plant life but since my daughter has been really interested in cactus for god knows what reason I allowed her to give them a try. Figured the balcony could use some life at the same time.

Anyone keeps any of the below?

Quick disclaimer - I am no expert on these plants, this thread is just a summary of my short (4 months) experience, advice and research I have received or done.

Anyway, let's start.

I currently have several varieties in cultivation which I'll list here
  1. Drosera capensis "wide leaf"
  2. Drosera capensis "white"
  3. Drosera capensis (some regular form)
  4. Two sarracenia (trumpet pitcher) species...
