    Red hair.....brown hair

    Try treating it like a highland nep. Cool at night, warm (not hot) at day and very high humidity. If the plant is small a plastic bag over the pot can help. Also try (don't remember his name)'s one plant peanut butter jar terrarium. Also sitting it in a tray of water can give it some more humidity.

    N. sanquinea

    My Sanguinea is making a daring attempt for the flourescent lights above it and I'm wondering how tall is it going to get. (No one can blame me for not knowing its growing habits, I got in my order as a replacement) It's growing well and producing meaty pitchers but I may have to relocate it...

    Introducing......

    Good idea with the jar! I've had similar but not so upright success with saran wrap and plastic bags. Sounds like it could also be a good way to control the humidity when hardening off seedlings and such...

    Emergency!

    How about a terrarium? Maybe some metal halide lights? Or if you're really desperate you could sell the plants to someone or maybe store them in a friends greenhouse.

    Vent Here...

    I never realized this forum was so angry... Oh and just to contribute to the wonderful pool of hatred in this forum I hate whenever a plant dies and I don't know what happened.

    Faizaliana

    Funky eh? I have a primarily lowland terrarium which stays quite warm, would it like that? Also how big does it get? BTW: how big does a Sanguinea get? Just wanted to throw that out there.

    Faizaliana

    I've managed to waste much of my time trying to find out something about this plant but I can't seem to find anything. I just found a picture of it after searching for it after seeing it in the latest ICPS newsletter *drool*. I'm interested in getting one but I'd like to know more...

    U. Tricolor flowering!!!!

    I just got my U. Tricolor to send up about 7 stalks but now some of them are simply dying back. I think I can see buds but they don't open. Cursed thing...

    It's gonna eat me!

    Are those rather unique in that they grow to be giant or do most Tillandisias get that large. Mine have so much catching up to do. They're 3 inches tall.

    Amorphophallus

    It seems to me everyone is growing these plants in pots but from what I've got in front of me A. Konjac is hardy to zone 6 and S. Venosum is hardy to zone 6. Is anybody growing these outside...

    Strange leaf shape...

    Quite simply my Pings (I think caerula) have a strange development on the end of their leaves.  Their tips are bent-in and break as they mature.  It's in a nep terrarium and produces leaves very fast and I've noticed that when it starts producing these bent leaves it produces 4 or 5 and stops...

    OK, I'll track them for a while and see what happens...

    Highland Problems

    I have one Fusca, three Ventricosas, two sanguineas (one chocalate and one ordinary), and an assortment of lowlanders who are quite happy. I suspect the light might have been the case bcs my Merriliana (one purchased from this site) was getting a reddish tinge on the leaves so I had to move it...

    Highland Problems

    They had been living in a much smaller terrarium but now they have a little bit more room. The day tempeture is between 84 and 90 degrees during the day and drops down to about 75 at night. I have a hygrometer which is wildly accurate but shows be big changes in humidity which I alwa counter...
