Hey everybody, I've been researching ways to cool smaller areas like grow tents and chambers. I've read about mini swamp coolers (which obviously wouldn't work) wine chillers, modified chest freezers, mini AC units which pipe the air into a tent/chamber, etc. and I haven't yet found something...

Acacia melanoxylon is a very common street tree in my city. It's considered the "sister species" of Acacia koa, a Hawaiian species prized for it's wood. I understand the thinking is that Acacia melanoxylon (or it's ancestor), made it from Australia to Hawaii, where it diverged slightly...

Hi everyone as anyone can assume i'm pretty new here but im pretty old in the plant world hahaha! The seeds i am offering are N. Lingulata and N. Reinwardtiana (a bunch if mixed color clones) they havent been sitting long and i would like to try to trade them with a few people before their...

I've got a couple of persistent hitchhikers in some of my Nepenthes pots. Anyone have any idea what these may be ? I assume this one is a Peperomia of some sort. No idea what this one is, never saw anything like it.

So many changes happening in my little garden and i'm a bit concerned. thanks for the input. This Sarracenia has weird bumps on them I am assuming this are from the sun? But i just want to be sure And this is just from the digesting of the insects? What are this white powder-ish looking...

I was over at my mom's, partly to get a picture of a Begonia, and I broke a piece off that plant by accident. So I decided to gather a few things and make it interesting. Here's what I left with: 1) Kalanchoe 'Pink Butterflies' 2) Calceolaria mexicana seedling (annual, reseeds) 3) Begonia...

Hopefully it isn't too late to post these guys. I just got an ID recently. Furcraeas are close relatives of Agaves. These plants are apparently hardy to about 25 F, although I don't know anything about this particular clone. Tropicos lists this species as from 2000-3000 m. So I'm betting...

Well, as you can see this isn't the oldest leaf. But it certainly is browning a lot faster than other leafs. I assume its just normal browning but want to be sure, thanks!

I just wanted to document how long it takes to generate some new plants from a small Cephalotus. I always think it's a good idea, if possible, to propagate a new plant. I received the plant 4 weeks ago tomorrow, from a generous giveaway from Dexenthes (thanks!). The plant looked beautiful...

I thought it would be useful to start a thread about growing Begonias from seed, and Begonia dregei, in particular, for a couple reasons. Begonia seeds are tiny, and I think a lot of people assume they are near impossible to grow successfully. Begonia dregei is a really fun Begonia, and one of...

I failed to do my due diligence and research what to do before my plants arrived, but today I only received a small batch (a D. filiformis, D. intermedia and a P. primuliflora). The former two are definitely dormant, but the primuliflora is flowering. Next week I'll be receiving a big order of...

A friend recently alerted me to the fact that a small Pseudomiltemia filisepala is being auctioned, and the current bid (with several days to go) is surprisingly high. My response is to give one away. If someone is looking for this plant, but does not win this giveaway, I might be willing to...

Around 15 years ago, probably, I gave my mom a rooted cutting of a seedling plant of Nepenthes burkei x truncata (purchased in 1995 as a seedling from Tom Kahl). The plant grew and pitchered beautifully in my mom's kitchen window for years--a North-facing window in the SF Bay Area. The...

I woke up this morning to a disaster. This two pitchers had TONS of nectar dripping down so I assume whatever it was, was trying to get out. I could be wrong, but I just don't know what kind of SAVAGE would destroy my pitches like this and leave everything else alone. What do i do?? Wires...

Well, I started noticing black dots on my plant a few days ago. Now I realize it's bug poo... I think. Then this morning one of my leaf looked really efed up, so I started taking a closer look. BAM, found his little sucker. He also ate some of my baby pitchers and leaf.... :( Sooooo, is it...

This is not a carnivorous plant. This is slightly premature in a couple ways. I just got some seeds and I'm struck how odd they look when a bit of the skin is peeled off. Notice also the odd gelatinous material associated with the seed, after soaking in water. Interestingly, I have heard the...

I know a lot of people who grow Carnivorous Plants also grow Aristolochias. I'm always surprised that more don't. These I'll send for postage. I am also looking for trades, for Nepenthes plants, seedlings, cuttings (rooted, unrooted). See also my other post...

Hey all, I've been growing Sarracenia for a few years now and have recently ventured into growing Nepenthes. I bought some N. x 'Miranda' cuttings in the NASC auction this year and had great success rooting them. The cuttings were received soon after the auction ended and rooted by about June...

Hi, I have two nepenthes that I would like to trade for cephalotus pullings (or, if you are willing, rooted plants) of varieties other than Hummer's Giant and typical. They can be fresh, or newly rooted. The first I have to offer is a N. Ampullaria Williams Red x Harlequin. It looks a little...

Well, I've had this guy (Heliamphora heterodoxa) for a months now and nothing happened. As expected since it was sitting on a windowsill. I finally decided to build a terrarium and it's only the third day and I noticed just now there is new growth!! I sorta screeched and started jumping with...
