I'm heading back up to Rochester to finish up my last few months of RIT.  Hopefully the plants will survive the trip up as it is getting colder up there (and I'm stoping in Colorado "on the way" for some snowboarding ) Also... offer is still open, free plant goodness! ---Lane

Hello all, So I am finishing my all to short stint in Austin TX. I will soon pack up my plants into my little car and drive back up north to NY. I do however, have some stuff that isn't worth bringing all the way back up there, as it is probably too bulky or dangerous (superthrive spill in a...

Hello all... Several months ago, I got a Drosera binata from Petflytrap. I managed to fit this sprawling plant into my terrarium, where the humidity is kept very high (80% or so). It is under flourecent lights for about 15 hours per day (2 grow lights, 2 cool white) The plant, as described...

"to scared to try a nep outside just yet" You really should... I was worried about trying, when I first moved down here at the beginning of summer, but I decided to give it a try... I had made some clippings, so it wouldnt' be a total loss... Anyway, the plant absolutly exploded, and put out a...

Hello all,   I have been living in Austin TX for a while now (I can tell, I'm starting to think this weather is cold).  I have been growing a large Nep. Coccinea outside with great success this summer.  I'm wondering if any other Austin residents are doing the same thing.  If so, when do you...

I was looking at the Nikon 2500.  It is one of the more popular digital cameras out there.  It has really good Macro, and is an overall great camera.  The lense also swivels "into" the body (look at a picture, you'll understand). Recently, they announced the 3500, which is the same as the 2500...

err... sorry moderators, wrong forum.. can you resection to "General"? thanks. ---Lane

Hey all,   Some of you may remember, I recently put up a post asking for advice as to what digital camera to go for.  After much debating, and stalling I decided to go with the nikon 2500.   Seeing as I was in no rush, and the model was getting a little old, I decided to take a "wait and see"...

hmmm.. I listen to a lot of emo/hardcore, so here's some stuff I like: Orange 9mm... good hiphop/hardcore combo Ignite ... good hardcore band, great live H20 ... great band (always on tour with bad poppy punk bands though) Rainer Maria ... emo, great lyrics, amazing vocals Sunny Day Real...

Unfortunatly, I will not be in TX all winter or else I would. I will be leaving TX mid November, and hope to have the plants entering a dormant stage by then, to make travel easier.   I will be returning back up to fridgid Rochester NY, where it is too cold to leave them outside all winter.  I...

Hello all,    I am now approaching my second winter growing CPs.  My first winter was a tough one, and I lost many plants.  This was primarily due to a combination of inexperience, and having to move my plants into the refrigerator too quickly (I'm a college kid with a strange schedule where I...

Hello all,   Well, I recently moved to Austin for the summer (I live in Rochester, NY for school).   So I decided to consolidate many of my of my pitcher plants and VFTs into a small windowbox "bog".  The replanting, and moving outside triggered many of my VFTs traps.  This is usually not a...

Hello all,   Well, I feel it might be time to get a New Digital Camera.  I have been looking around, and so far, like two small, easy to use, but powerful ones.  Since I will be doing a lot of plant photos with it, I thought I'd post here to see if anyone had any advice.   I'm currently...

or how about... which PFT dews required dormancy? ---Lane

phew... I have had a Leuc for the good part of 6 months, and so far all it has done is put up a couple of non-pitchering leaves... I was getting worried. I recieved it as just the root too... so I figured the stress was still causing it problems. I suppose this combined with the nature of the...
