What this sausage party needs is a big dollop of ketchup! Too bad I didn't make any. :(

I'm real jealous of those flytraps. I've had awful luck with them.

Carnivore posting:

I've had mine at my apartment for a couple years under grow lights, but I moved to a new place without a good spot for them. Moved them all to my parents hoop house, but I'm only there to visit on weekends so I wanted some semi-automatic watering.

Designed these auto-watering bottle attachments years ago that I 3d print, and they worked great but out in the heat the water was evaporating quicker than a week.



So I built a quick table that fits an under-bed storage sterilite and set up a float valve with my RO water system. Automatic watering! Now I have a lot more room for more plants too...



Still have my sundews and butterworts at home though :3:

Do we have a hydroponics thread? I've been playing with a couple inexpensive aerogardens I got off Marketplace. 3d printed holders and some cheap sponges and they're happily growing basil, parsley, dill, and a bunch of lettuce. I'm kind of hooked.

I was vaguely thinking about trying to print a custom one that I could upend and screw a water bottle into, like a pet feeder, so it would self-water for longer and keep it at just the right level.

ayyyy I actually sell something like that on Etsy especially for carnivorous plant people! It's really intended for large trays, but if you PM me I can send you files :)

My original use case was going on vacation and needing to keep trays full, and what I did the first time was to poke a hole in a water bottle about an inch from the bottom. More annoying to fill, since you have to keep a finger over the hole but it works great.
