Hi Guys. I have some rare nepenthes seeds from user, n. bicalcarata. By rare I mean N. Jamban, N. Aristolochiodes and N. Intermis. I really want them to grow successfully and was wondering if my setup was correct for this situation. I have a five gallon terrarium in my basement that is fairly...

Hello lovely people of this forum. I ordered this lovely plant(Ultriculiaria Graminifolia) for an aquatic planted tank I've recently set up. I've done a fair amount of reading and I'm confident I know what to expect. Until just recently when I discovered this forum I had no idea what the...

recovering from being outside all summer , i just have no luck in the out doors with neps , but as soon as i bring them in for the winter they start loving the artificial lights , dont think they will go outside anymore. I think there is a giant mosquito in there see his legs? .

Hi Folks got an idea some time ago for growing Darlingtonia and Pinguicula macroceras outdoors in full sun and heat, without them over-heating. Has worked pretty well so far. At the fish counter in most decent food stores, you can ask for the styrofoam fish boxes and get some. They are only...

Hi everybody! I have a P. moctezumae that I purchased online (along with a P. moranensis) that is not doing well. The P. moranensis is doing okay, (although it is not thriving by any means) but the moctezumae is actively dying. It arrived with three one inch long skinny leaves. The one leaf...

While trekking through through the wetlands surrounding the pond near my house I found large amounts of sphagnum moss. The area had very sandy soil, constant water, and lots of sun. It is a beautiful area, except it has been neglected greatly. There is trash everywhere, and people used the area...

Hi Everyone, Some of my plant tags got messed up because when the sarrs were little I had them in a tabletop bog pot. Of course they grew together. Last fall I tried to separate them and I just wanted to make sure I have the right tag with the right plant as I want to thin down my collection...

Hi ya'll... several weeks ago I saw that my N. vent X TM was browning its leaves at the base a lot faster than usual. In a panic, I moved it to my new cooler HL chamber where it has been for several weeks. The plant has sped up a lot, but Still, it wont stop sacrificing its leaves and Im afraid...

Well it's been getting cool outside so it's now indoors but I'm kinda worried about feeding it. I wanted to know if I could use an artificial fertilizer to supply it's nutritional needs since my parents aren't very keen on me having live bugs in the house, any advice would be helpful!!

First the disclaimer..... There are as many methods as there are growers. Some grow beautiful helis using methods totally opposite from these. It is not my intention to imply that you must follow these recommendations to be successful. I present this guide as what "I"do and what "I" believe...

Tonight I will be putting 25 seeds into peat pots for germination...while i do have a windowsill that receives 8 hours of sun I would prefer if I can start them with 18 hour cycles instead to speed them along.

Hi, dear friends, I'll move to Indianapolis soon. I am eager to know how to grow ultra- (true) highlanders there. I have the following highlander neps. Most of them are true highlanders. N.jamban, N.jacquelineae, N. eymae x jacquelineae, N. edwardsiana, N. hamata, N. macrophylla, N. x...

I'm thinking of getting an N. Tentaculata and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with one? I know theres different types but all I can get from the website I want to buy it from is that it is a highlander. Does anyone know if it could do well in a windowsill terrarium, no artificial...

just a copy and paste from another forum for future ref... Hello, This Heliamphora disease is caused by a phytopathogenic fungus (which I was able to identify during my molecular studies of Heliamphora by chance), which infects the vascular tissue of the centre of the plant, and can kill a...

Ok....so far my germination rates for nepethes seed have been all over the place and I'm trying to narrow down and perfect my technique. I have noticed that many of my falures may be beyond my control. My most recent batch is having mold issues, but other batches never had that issue, and the...

Good morning, all, I could use a second opinion on one of my plants, if any would be willing to help... So, I have two young N. ramispina, one growing at my job under artificial lighting (http://www.terraforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=125589) which is thriving... The other is growing at...
