For the community

If you’re a grower, a terrarium builder, or a hobbyist electronics person looking for context, the fastest orientation is:

  • Highland section — system overview, architecture, PID notes, flows.
  • Collection — dendrogram, per-genus photos, wishlists.
  • Inventions — zeer-pot Darlingtonia cooler, Drosera regia substrate trick, easier-to-build enclosures.
  • GitHub repo — everything, open hardware (CERN-OHL-S v2) and open code.

For trade inquiries — please include species, cultivar/clone name where relevant, and a photo. I propagate some things as offsets; I rarely sell.

Location

Genoa (Genova), Italy. The terrarium lives at home in Corso Monte Grappa; the outdoor beds of Sarracenia and Dionaea are on the same balcony. The lab is at the University of Genoa — Viale Benedetto XV, 6, 16132 Genova — and the clinic at IRCCS Ospedale Policlinico San Martino, Largo Rosanna Benzi 10.

For anything else, email is the best default.
