Hi guys,
As I'm in Uni now, my head has been melted with stuff to do.
Thats why I haven't been as active as usual, which I'm not liking!
Anyway, the Uni runs Treborth Botanical Gardens, here in Bangor. They have a few lovely greenhouses, one of which is completely tropical and overgrown with huge plants, and some lovely Nepenthes species.
There is even a pond full of AQUATIC MOSS and "rice fish" which to me are just guppies. Into the water hangs strangling fig roots. It's really lovely. Actually, while I'm writing this I may as well throw up some pictures.
Here's two of the outdoor pond.
Some of the pitcher plants in the tropical greenhouse.

Some of the Sarracenia, which I bought a big pot of for £1!

And here's a sundew plant (I think!)

ANYWAY that was massively off topic so I apologise.
My main question was, does anyone keep any carnivorous plants on here?
If so, what kind?
I'm looking for tips on pruning the dead leaves on my Sarracenia.
Thanks for looking people
