Hello everyone. My name is Ryan however I have gone by the name of Rug (in real life lol) since I was 2 yrs old. I live in Ontario, Canada and am a member of the Ontario Carnivorous Plant Society as well so I assume some of you already know me here (although I have not done any searching or...

And sorry about how horrible they look...1. it's not sunny out and 2. I assume they had a rough time in VA last winter...maybe I'll need to repot the whole minibog because the material was bad or something. Sarracenia leucophylla: Sarracenia psittacina: Sarracenia rubra gulfensis...

As most of you have read, I have some ripe flowers on my male N. spectabilis x ventricosa. I have started collecting the first of the pollen off of the ripe flower heads. I would like to set up where it's going as soon as possible to ensure it's ripeness. If you have flowering females to cross...

Ordered a drosera spatulata x capensis hybrid today, can't wait to get it next week sometime! Anyone have any experience with this plant? I can't seem to find many pictures or much info on it, so I assume its not a plant that many people have right now?

Hey TF'ers, As I've created a forum for francophones, I was hoping to ask a favor to all of you out here in tf land if I could use some of the material found here and translate it into french for the the benefit of french-speaking peeps here in quebec and elsewhere. Stuff that's stickied, how...

I finally got a nice S. psit anthocyanin free late last year in a great trade! The plant overwintered fine, but I looked yesterday to find a nice hole where it had been. Birds (I think) had pulled the Sphagnum for nesting, I assume, and the S. psit was apparently dug up and carried away also...

Ok, i have a large bin of water in which i was going to propagate aquatic plants in. at the moment its in the house and i might be moving it outside or dumping it, but at the moment its serving as a live food culture for my bettas. In the beginning i walked by and noticed mosquito larvae. I...

You read that right. Just hatched these babies out in the GH, and there are lots. Up for bid are 6. Girls are reported to reach 6", but I've never seen one over 4.5....Males are only slightly shorter, though much less bulky. Great to release in the GH, or keep as pets (but keep them...

I'm going to the reptile show Sunday and have been doing some reading & you tubing on Frilled Lizards (Chlamydosaurus kingii) for the last week or so and I think I'd like to get one or two if they have them available and feeding so I know they'll eat. They aren't as small mammal dependent as I...

A while back, before I had gotten my Aldrovanda, Blokeman decided to PM me some very helpful tips (Thanks again, Steven!). Bloke compiled up the info from his own experiences, local CPers and Barry Rice's very informative Growing Carnivorous Plants. Here's his PM: "Hey Clue, I've tried growing...

This is something I've never done, but have always wanted to. I've found a few online how-to's, but I still have questions to which I couldn't find answers - 1. Does it still need to have drainage holes (I assume so)? One how-to said yes, another said no... 2. I know you can plant Sarrs...

I've had this thing set up for about 6 months or so and all is looking good so I thought I'd share what I'm doing and the results so far. I have a bit of experience with growing plants in hydroponics styles so your mileage will probably vary. Start out with plants you don't care if you lose or...

I thought my VFTs had been growing reeeaaaaaaaaally slow, so I decided to read up on them, and saw everywhere says to use 6500K, and I've been using 5000K. No wonder! My poor VFTs and sundews have been deprived for the past ~9 months. Boy am I honked off. Here are some pictures. I asked...

Just got my first Cobra lily from the left coast. A 3 year old seeding. Plants are about 1 inch tall. I assume it needs dormancy now so it's in my fridge. Does that sound about right? I emailed the seller for their advice. Here she is! I am also stratifying some Cobra seeds as well to sow at...

I fertilized my Nep two Tuesdays ago, flushed it with a lot of water a couple days later, and now I'm looking at the pot and I see some "growth" on there. I assume it's harmless but I wanted to check with you guys first because my gut instinct is to repot and use less soil to I can flush the pot...

I'm confused. Okay. Today I bought a third generation iPod touch for 299$. Then my friend tells me today that in 3 monthes apple will release an iPod Touch with a camera. Then I research and I can't find anything about that assumption, so should I return my third generation, and HOPE that the...

It's super duper hot here in Florida right now and I keep my plants in the window sill. We got a cat a few months ago and she likes to get up there and try to eat the plants so we keep the shade down to where she can't get up there. Well anyways, had been remembering to water them pretty often...

Good afternoon all, I am looking to set up an old 10gal (20x12x10) primarily as a freshwater planted tank which I may add a few fish to later. My only problem is I am about as new to fishtanks as humanly possible. I have the tank, will end up storing the tank under my plant lights for now (4-4'...

Well as we enter June I'm starting to ask myself more and more questions from the looks of my S. leucophylla and S. leucophylla 'Tarnok'. I know that abnormal growth is normal in the beginning of the growing season but now that we are entering June and the temps are constantly in the mid 70s...

I have 2 lowland varieties that are not doing as well as I thought they would since I am in Mississippi, and 2 highland that are doing much better than I expected. I was afraid it was going to get too hot for them but they are thriving. I am going to be ordering some extremely rare nepenthes...
