This is the plant I was looking for but can not find here in Minnesota. Does anyone have seeds or the plant for trade Wally

Probably the easiest are those that do not require any kind of a dormancy [or rest] period. Ones which instead like warm moist conditions all year round. Drosera [sundews]: some good candidates: D. capensis, & D. spathulata lowland Nepenthes: such as N. gracilis, N. ventricosa, N.ampullaria ***be forewarned that pretty much all the neps will at some point outgrow a small terr [15 gal or less] - and most rather quickly [w/in a year or two]. Pinguiculas [butterworts]: ex. P. primaflora Sarracenia [terrestrial pitcher plants] ***same problem as w/ neps Utricularia

Hi, I don't know about the tiger's jaw but I can speak for the VFT and pitcher plant. You can grow the VFT outside in your area without the use of a green house in summer and winter months. Although I say winter months, but keep in mind your relatively mild winters, which may get some cold at night or snow/ice for a day and melt by next day. If you ever get some extreme weather constantly for too many days, I can't say how the plants will be. For the pitcher plant, you will want to bring it in during winter, but otherwise, it can grow outside also. As for the spring and summer months, while it may look like the VFT cannot handle full sun, it actually can. I have some in sun all day and some that get afternoon shade. All are doing well. I describe it that way because it has always been a bit of experimentation to see what works and what doesn't, based on our own local climate or even microclimates. So far, sun and afternoon shade are OK. The tip on this is to make sure the growing medium remains moist and does not totally dry out. To do that, either water regularly or use a water tray. For the pitcher plant, I have seen some people growing in full sun, but for those pitchers that I saw, they were growing where temperatures may get to 80s or 90s in the summer. Because my summer temperatures get much higher than that, as well as little rainfall or few cloudy days, I tend to err on the side of caution and grow in afternoon shade or dappled shade throughout the day. This is because I do not have too many specimens yet. When I get to that point, I will definitely try some pitcher plants in full sun. But either way, the answer to your question is that they do not need to be grown in that particular greenhouse. The pitcher plant takes some time to adjust to its surroundings before making pitcher. It may even make them only at certain times of the year because the conditions became better for it. For example, all my pitcher plant varieties began making pitchers last fall, when they did not do it at all during the summer. That is, of course, if you let nature take the course. If you want to help encourage pitchers, then you'll need to read up on the different ways that others have used to help make more pitchers on the plants even while the conditions did not let the plant do it by itself. For your green house, I think it will handle light pots or seedling pots on those shelves. If you do have any plants that you can put there, just make sure they are not too heavy.

Fines (1mm or less in size) I typically just toss in with regular potting soil or mix for Sarrs. I generally don't get a lot of the really really small particles. I have used straight turface with pings and a mix of turface and coir for D. capensis, or utrics with no issues. If you have a lot of fines and a spare of one or more plants, I'd say go ahead and experiment. :-)
