    Sanguinea Issues

    Hey guys! It's been a while since I've posted anything but I was wondering if you guys could help me diagnose the problem with my 'young' nepenthes sanguinea. This is a photo of my sanguinea before it got into the condition it is in now: Here is what my plant looks like now: As you can see...

    The triple digit heat is here!!

    Ok, thank you to everyone above! This week we are expected to hit 120F so I am glad I asked this before it got REAL hot. And I agree with you, joossa, the wind here is almost worse than the heat in that I am afraid of my plants being damaged :( I will move the plants back into the full sun and...

    The triple digit heat is here!!

    Well, my sarracenia in the photos on the other thread were when I had just got them a while back. Now, my flavas' lids are kinda browning up even on small developing pitchers. I know sarracenia and vt's like a lot of sun but I do think that they are burning a bit :( As for the vt's, the photo...

    Hi guys! I live in Southern California near Palm Springs and it has been getting HOT. For the past few weeks, I have noticed that my flavas and now also my dentate flytraps have been getting burned from the extreme heat in the direct sun so I decided to move them under the patio where they get...

    Truncata feeding controversy

    I am a new member here but I think Mr. Aga's decision is quite tasteful and alright. I do agree however, that it should be only "feeder" fish that get fed to anything. My father feeds our large tropical fish "feeder" goldfish once in a while to vary their diet and give them the feeling of being...

    Help! :(

    So my type of pinguicula needs lots of humidity? I always heard that CP's with those "domes of death" around them die :/

    Help! :(

    Ok so I bought a pinguicula primuliflora online and I just got it shipped to me today. When I unpacked it, it looked fine but when I got home (6 hours later) it looked like this: To me, it looks like it is wilting but I watered it before I left and potted it. I am completely new to pinguicula...

    Nepenthes Sanguinea Pitcher Variation

    Hello guys! I am just wondering if those who grow sanguinea experience "unusual" pitchers like I do. I'm not totally sure if they are normal or not, but all the photos I've seen online look different than mine ??? I bought the plant almost a year ago from "Tony" and so I know for sure that it is...

    Glacier Water . . .

    I just tried this water out! There's a machine less than 5min away and at 25 cents per gallon, that is WAY cheaper than buying it at $1.10 at my grocery store haha. Also, I was surprised to find that the ppm was only 3! Amazing! :D
