acclimate

This is a cutting I received from JLaP last Fall. He didn't remember what is was, so it has gone unidentified all this time. I'd like to put a species label on it. I would think that this would be an easy ID for all you Nep experts out there. ;) And, the other is a rather young Nep that is...

Well, Spring break is coming soon and going on vacation for a week! But, there's a problem. My mom has to use my great aunt to look after the house and she sometimes messes up simple tasks. How can I trust her with my CPs!? We're going to leave her a note on what to do, but I'm worried about my...

AGAIN! This was an early b-day present (very early, but since these things aren't always available when you want them, you have to get them when you can. Just got: N. reinwardtiana N. dubia :-O N. ampularia 'Harlequin' (spelling? I can't even FIND this on the web to verify) :hail: I'll...

Hello All! Nepenthes donated a couple of his Nep's to me and I'm pretty new to CP's. I just wanted to post some pic's of the Ventricosa because there are some brown spots on the leaves which might be from the acclimating or maybe sun burn since he had it as an outside and I'm trying it as an...

i don't know where to put this thread (mods, please plazce if in wrong forums thing) Well i was forced to put my tropical plants on a rack near the window and wanted to know how i should acclimate them and i don't want them to die. They need to be used to low humidity and lower light levels. any...

I ordered a Nepenthes ventricosa x spectabilis. I was wondering if anyone has ordered neps from there and what should I do to acclimate my nep to my house?

My fly trap doesn't seem to be doing very well inside, it's got a bunch of traps growing out but they are developing very slowly and kinda funky as i showed in my very first post here. Anyways, whats the best way to acclimate a plant to different conditions, such as outdoors?

Indeed, so, today, after a Chiropractors appointment I went to Wal-Mart - severely tired. I waited for my mom after an agonizing walking back and forth, she soon came, I went off and tried to find --- that's right --- the Dionaea crying out to me. Or, the Venus Crytraps as I wish to call the...

Hello All! I was searching for Nepenthes on the web last night and came across this site http://www.cobraplant.com/ebook.html Has anyone read the ebook? The only thing that caught my eye was this quote from their site: Just looking for opinions on the above statement and the ebook. Dont...

Okay, I started with an old 15 gallon terrarium with holes drilled in the bottom for drainage. This terrerium is a classic terrerium for subtropical drosera and pinguicula. Bottom layer: 1 1/2 inch layer of washed pebbles Next layer: 1 inch layer of perlite Next layer: a small amount of lfs...

Hi everyone. So I finally decided to order my first Ping online. I wanted something that had similar growth and care requirements as a VFT. I currently am a VFT grower, so I figured a Ping with similar requirements (one from the US and not Mexico/Central America) would be the best starter. I...

I have a N. inermis that I'm attempting to grow in a terrarium. Ever since I got it, it hasn't been a happy camper. Now I'm quite aware of how Neps need to acclimate to a grower's specific conditions, and I'm sure that's what my plant is stubbornly doing right now, but I'd like to hear from...

Hi to everyone. It looks from the posts I've seen (lurking for a few hours now) that there is definitely a wealth of vft knowledge here. To that end, I'm hoping some of you can give me some advice on fungicide and mildew. Let me offer some background: I've recently acquired (rescued?) some...

Back in April I received some VFT's and one plant fell apart when I was unwrapping it. So I put the leaves in my live, swampy, LFS, to see if they would sprout. They did and i'm not sure what to do with them for the next several months. Below is a picture of the type of tray and conditions they...

Hi everyone, first I'd like to say that I've been lurking around these forums for a long time and would like to thank everyone for the great info that they provide. Without you guys, I'd be lost! Now, on to business. I just picked up a sundew from Lowes in the infamous Lowe's Cube and I have no...

Hi all. Alright, I'm tired of being a lurker. I've had an adequate time to acclimate. Time to leave the shadows and come into the light. Let me tell you about myself. My name is Chris and I'm 23 years old. I first got involved in cp's in the fall of 2003. I was watching tv on a Saturday morning...

N. petiolata and N. stenophylla. They're pretty big too. They're planted in 6 inch hanging baskets and I can't wait until they acclimate and start growing! Woo! Oh, and two weeks from today is my last final. Give it up for summer. Uhhh. EDIT: Time for some pictures! N. petiolata N...

Yay for lowe's!! i got a HUGE D. Adaele in one of those cubes. I was going to take the top off but then i realized this sudden drop in humidity could make it look just terrible! so how can i acclimate it to a window sill without it looking terrible? same thing with my D. Capensis. i want them to...

I have two VFTs growing in the smae conditions (same tub outside) one I've had growing there for a full year, the other I've had only for  a month. The one that has been there for a year has a rich green color, with traps that a rosy on the inside. The other is young and was fully green but this...
