Carnivorous Plants

help identifying carnivorous plants

12 years ago

i planted seeds of carnivorous plants a year ago, and this is what the ones that sprouted look like.

{{gwi:547610}}

can anyone help me identify what species they are? i had a list of possible species included when i ordered the dome but the seeds were dispersed in a small packet of medium so i couldn't isolate any in particular. they don't particularly look like any carnivorous plants i know of either. please help me!

I can tell what it's not.

Definitely not a carnivorous plant. Just two different unidentified weeds.

If you planted carnivorous plants seed (did you know what you planted?. I doubt it would grown on that soil, it looks too broken down if you used sphagnum peat moss.

it was a mix i bought online. they gave specifics as to what seeds were in the mix but i never saw them b/c they were too small. they also provided the sphagnum moss. needless to say i'll definitely be complaining to the seller to try to get my money back. thanks for the answer, i wasted about a year on that but at least i know to stop now.
