I've talked to a few people about this in chats but I haven't gotten a straight answer. I have six attenboroughii seedlings, all with 2-3 pitchers on them. Some of them are starting to make larger pitchers. The leaves on one may be 1/2mm in width even. They have 2-3 carnivorous leaves each...

One of variables between heliamphora species is their roots. Some species beg to be divided, spreading out on their own; clumping species resist being divided easily or with roots intact. H. tatei is unique in that it's not only a clumper, but it also has the thickest roots I've ever seen in...

A friend purchased a Saguaro seed kit from her visit in Arizona. I was sort of skeptical that these were so cheap (I had perhaps 100 seeds). After researching, I found my catch: the growth rate of these guys is quite slow (as most cacti I assume)! Well, they are about 5 months old now and are...

At an exchange recently, I got some new water plants, thought I would offer up a few if anyone is interested. One was billed as flag, I assume Acorus. Looks like an iris but with thinner, shorter leaves. These are about 12 to 14". Perhaps three of those. Also a clump of water canna...

I have Drosera filiformis appearing everywhere and since I have never had a flowering one in the house I can only assume that they were transported on Nepenthes foliage or maybe in the NZ sphagnum, coire brick or bag of peat. I see most in the cookie boxes of coire that I germinated Nep seeds...

I assume this snotty looking stuff on the surface is algae or maybe an early stage in the life of a fern? Many of my Nep seedlings have this and a dark brown to black version beginning to cover the surface, it begins as a single bubble here and there and then slowly covers the surface. I am also...

it is a surface floating aquatic....fairly adaptable in regards to lighting but probably not so much when it comes to lower temps I would assume. far as i know it only propagates by division and may not be considered invasive in colder areas but be sure to check first. i have some extra that i...

My Drosera spatulata that I bought has now been in my possession for about a month. When I purchased it from my local nursery, it already had a wilted flower stalk, which I would assume will impact its future health. Now, after two weeks of my (hopefully) wonderful care, it's beginning to...

I have a couple packets of rotundifolia seeds that I would like to offer up for trade. Each packet contains at least 50 seeds, but probably closer to 100 (I didn't really wanna count the little suckers :P ) I am interested in trades for Drosera seeds, cuttings, or plants. Let me know if you are...

I remember seeing a great Heliamphora auto-watering set up for an indoor tank: Plants sit on egg crate elevated over water. Small submersible pump drives water to some sort of self-sealing white tube that runs the length of the tank black tubing attached to small drip nozzles connects to white...

I won three neps off eBay last week, N. madagascariensis and 2 N. burbidgeae's. I suggested a heat pack before shipping but he claimed that he never lost a plant to the cold and shipped. Seems like a nice enough guy and shipped very fast and when they arrived and I pulled the bare root plants...

I have one packet of seeds available. They are free. Picture shows what fell out when gently set down, I'm guessing around 300 seeds are contained within. The plant is a typical variety. I only ask that you want all the seeds because you have a lack of capensis in your collection. It is a...

A while back I planted some nep seeds, I believe regular x black lip I was told. The pics are not too good as my camera does not do macro well, but what say?? This one is a bit better. If so, this would be my first success so far in sprouting. Anybody know what this is? On this ceph...

I arrived in Los Cabos after dark, and the first thing I did after I checked-in was to take a walk around the hotel grounds to see what critters I could find. I found two specimens of these beautiful little beetles next to a light set in the ground along the path. I assume the beetles had been...

This is the first year I have ever had sarracenia flowers produce seed. Generally speaking, if seeds were produced can one assume that they are fertile? Or can an unfertilized flower produce sterile seed? Sorry for such a dumb question. I have collected several seed pods, all brown and looking...

I wanted to make sure I understand the CITES regulations correctly before I make a purchase I am thinking about doing. I am looking at buying some S. Oreophila "Sand Mountain" seeds from a grower in the czeck republic. I know that Oreos are on the CITES list and cannot be sold across state lines...

My latest cooling design is on the next page. So I recently received a terrarium from a friend. I have become interested in cost-effective setups, and a couple weeks ago I set up a 75 gallon lowland terrarium with only a sunny windowsill to heat/light it (it's exactly the same thing shown here...

I bought this mirabilis var echinostoma and in addition to different conditions I transplant shocked it due to repotting it after 10 days due to thrips......It has been nearly a month since then and while it isn't declining; it isn't growing either. I think maybe it has added 1/10 of an inch to...

I was browsing through the net and came across one of those pond foggers.....for those of you considering a beginners terrarium this will help you with the humidity for a mere 30 bucks....My terrarium is setup so the plants sit on isolated trays about several inches of water so the supply will...

I was curious if alternating the water levels would yield any benefit? Also an easy way to keep up with it too...I can just follow the weather where I live. I'll maintain it at a 20% minimum to keep the media moist but when it rains; perhaps fill it to 50-80% depending on how much rain. I...
