algae

The utric forum often seems slower than the others ... here are 2 very cool videos. I suspect that the 'algae' in the 1st one are something else (maybe an issue with translation ...).

Yesterday I was frolicking by the river, clambering over rocks to an often used jumping spot. Imagine my suprise: as i looked downward to find a good foothold for a particularly difficult spot, I looked straight into a small pool of water. A pool of water with an aquatic bladderwort in it. I...

As some may have noticed in my signature, one of my other hobbies is hydroculture, which is basically passive hydroponics. I have tried growing various carnivorous plants in hydroculture but, perhaps with the exception of Nepenthes, it has not been very successful. This year I decided that I...

I guess it's not that big of a deal but I have never accomplished it before. My U. gibba that I have in an outside bog has sent up a single flower stalk. I think the set up (now about 2 maybe 3 years old) has found a good balance. All I do is add water, I don't do any cleaning or anything...

Euphorbia platyclada A lovely pink stick - in "growth"! What looks like algae or moss patches on it are apparently the photosynthetic parts. Tylecodon bucholtziana Another stick! It bloomed just before I got it, I had the pleasure of picking off the dried flowers. It puts out small bright...

I just replanted my killifish tank and now I have too much of the stuff and it needs to get mailed out tomorrow, Monday. There are 6 bunches I set aside, there may be more but my wife has to go through and pull what see wants first. This plant is completed aquatic and likes medium to high...

Here are a few of my miscellaneous underwater photographs (mostly shot at about 20 meters or so), depicting some animals -- those various anemones seen below -- which actually "photosynthesize a bit," due to algae which live symbiotically in their tissues. So, here we have animals who masquerade...

I've been having MAJOR problems with algae, fungus, mold, etc in my little grow rack and it has been suggested several times that it could be due to poor air flow. I have a humidifier in the rack itself and had hoped that the movement from that would be enough air circulation, but alas, I still...

Hi everyone As usual no pics............ Okays getting into the point....My N Rajah is grown is LFS and perlite but for the inner layer its cocochips...So as for the topping its LFS......Recently the middle part of the LFS which is from Fauzi seems to be turning slightly light green and isn't...

Hello everyone! Lately i noticed more and more growers new to pygmy drosera asking how they can collect the gemmae or how to plant them. I will try to cover some of that for you and you can acces the links for pics. Here are 2 of my methods: 1. Locate the gemmae ...on top of the plant, round...

HI, well i decided to turn my 55gallon fish tank into a 55gallon terrarium, and made a quick vid to see how it went, sorry for it not being the best vid but here it is... http://s323.photobucket.com/albums/nn470/lazy-photographer/video/?action=view&current=c720e317.pbr All the neps on my...

Gday all, I have started to grow a few Venus flytaps from seed and have about 7 which have worked out. I am growing them is some small pots which sit in a container of water next to a window (indoors). I have a few questions: 1. I have put a shade cover over the container for the summer (we...

A few things to trade I don't really want my U. gibba any more. I don't want to just throw it away. And my D. aliciae is not doing very good in my conditions. I'm pretty sure the D. aliciae can be fixed. This is my first time trading so I hope I do it right. The gibba has some algae in it, but...

I headed out for Bass River State Forest in the Pine Barrens Thursday after work. I hoped to leave early and do some Geocaching all evening on the way there. (http://www.geocaching.com/about/ for those who do not know what this is.) Till I got done watering plants and taking care of other...

I was out cleaning the water tray for my Sarrs and decided to go ahead and get some shots of them. Family portrait (notice the alata's monster pitcher :D, plus I just put the capensis outside): The water that needed changing. Notice the wasp. The Sarrs in the Play Pin of Doom (my future...

I was out at the lake swimming today, and near the grassy shore I saw this thing floating around... It's about the size of a grape, it's clear in the middle with a greenish outline, and it's squishy like a frog egg. I know it's not algae or whatever because when I picked it up it held it's round...

So I am looking for the macro algae cheato since I want to keep my nitrates down. I have things for trade nothing nepenthes wise but I can do other things. Like Pings,drosera,VFTs and so on. Long shot I know :) I thought trading since I don't want to spend 2X as much as it is worth since there...

A friend recommended that I make a thread explaining how I successfully got a couple of D. kennealyii leaves to strike floating in water. Here are some shots of some successful leaf pullings from my D. kennealyii. Setup on glass aquarium top under T5 lighting. A small D. kennealyii strike...
