Hello Friends, I have a lovely east facing spot for an interesting habitat! I would really like to build some sort of a self-watering dripping wall...similar to what's seen here: http://www.pinguicula.org/pages/culture/JSteiger.htm However, my wall would be dedicated to mexican pinguicula...

Here are a few seedlings which germinated in mid-January. They were planted in a compost of milled sphagnum and rinsed quartz -- horticultural -- sand. I've attempted live moss and every conceivable Nepenthes mix but have returned to this old stalwart . . . Nepenthes hamata (Katopasa/Lumut)...

hello guys!! I am about to start my first carnivorous plant project a 30x30cm terrarium. I have attempted to grow general plants before with varying degrees of success, but nothing like this. any tips and help shall be well appreciated. ??? Well here goes and greetings to you all!

My wife & I spent most of the previous week on a long-overdue vacation in Puerto Rico. The better part of two days of this were spent in El Yunque. I took almost 400 pics during our vacation and the vast majority were within this rainforest. Needless to say, I've attempted to whittle the number...

Up for grabs here are Darlingtonia from my first batch of seed planted winter '05 (I think.) Many of the original-growth rosettes are from pots I planted in live sphagnum which were subsequently smothered for a few years and therefore may still be somewhat dwarfed, but all the plants I intend to...

My name is Alex, I have had an interest in CPs since i was in second grade, and attempted to grow some back then, with little success. Well, now i am in college, have my own apartment, an figured i would give it another shot. I live in Colorado, and know that growing the various forms of plants...

Hello, this is a friend of Jimscott's. I attempted to join this forum, however the "image verification" portion is not present on the screen. When I tried to register, I received a message that said what I had typed in did not match what was displayed. However, I cannot type in what I am unable...

While I've been growing this cultivar for over a year, the original plant has been consumed with moss and refuses to bloom. This fall, I had an opportunity to get a 'new' plug from Europe and jumped at the chance. The new divisions, mostly unencumbered by moss, have prospered and flowered ...

After being overseas for 3 week I came home to some pleasant surprises. Since the Sarrs are all dormant Neps will have to do for now :) The N. lowii x campanulata is finally throwing some beautiful pitchers and seems to have a very toothy peristome: I had thought that the N. gracilis var...

One of my very favorite Mexican Pinguicula species --> Pinguicula gypsicola. I began growing this species when I received a small portion that had been grown in tissue culture. At first I attempted to grow them in 100% granular peat moss, and though they survived, they certainly were not...

For anyone who hasn't seen this, this is the news video about a reported attempted rapist in Alabama. <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VE0LRjQkWKk&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param...

Nepenthes copelandii Lowii x boschiana my personal favorite because it's almost black in person. hamata recently recovered Predator snapped the vine almost completely through and tied it back up do you think it'll be good like that. and an attempted air cutting on top I took before I...

I purchased a small fridge used in hopes of some how using it to make an ultra highland terrarium . has anyone attempted this and can a hole be made in the side wall in order to vent/ move (vie fan of some sort) cool air to the terr. Is the freon/ coolant running all about the sides an such or...

I have a large N. Sabre. It has 2 large growth points with 20-25 inch leaf spans and it has recently started 3 basals. I was thinking of cutting the two large growth points near the base and putting them in water. Either that or 100% perlite with a tray of water. I have never attempted...

Sarracenia oreophila was, again, the first to "show" in 2010, but not every plant seemed to be on the same schedule (as the second photo illustrates). Each S. oreophila is site-specific in origin and both seem quite "hard-wired" when it came to the timing of their individual development. The...

Has anyone attempted to grow Darlingtonia from seeds in the 2 yr 24/7 lighting method? Appreciate any comments if you have. Thanks....

A year or 2 ago, I remember seeing elgecko's approach to growing utrics suspended over a pool of water. Since then, I'd always wanted to give it a try. When I saw RSS's great efforts with U. graminifolia over here, I figured the time had come. When I got some a few months ago, I stuck a chunk...

I had been tossing the idea around for a while ,of making a flooded tank for my Utric's so i could view the traps . So i used a Death Cube a few months ago and seems to work out nice. i have noticed that the traps not only are they growing off the whole new leaf growing under the water but the...

Someone sent me this at work. Somehow, I have a rep for being "The meat eatin' plat guy" here at MyJob. heh http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth_news/newsid_8195000/8195029.stm Some good pictures in the article. It looks a lot like that Nep that they recently discovered ate small mammal...

Has anyone attempted these crosses? B52 x 'red dragon' B52 x dente I am sure someone has. I just wanted to know if they were worth while to attempt. Thanks!
