Hey All, Here is my first attempt at growing sarrs from seeds. I've been doing well with purchasing/trading seedlings and growing them into big time adults that I thought I'd give seed a try. Nothing as impressive as Fred P or Brokken's production, but I was inspired enough to give it a go...

This last week in a city not too far from here, 6 cops were shot, and one killed, while conducting a surprise raid on a home suspected of having marijuana grow room. There has been a ton of outrage, of course. Now, the police are going on the local news telling people to watch neighbors for...

Right- I've been meaning to make this post for a while, so here goes. For a while now, I've been wondering how to create the right habitat for nepenthes given my own conditions. I'm not one to rush into doing something blindly, and my attempts at making growing areas for them have not quite...

So I have some extra shelf space that I would like to make use of and potentially make more room in my terrarium(s). This is all a hypothetical but I am wondering which plants I have would do well in these conditions. I can't really get specific numbers but the temp is around 75F room temp, a...

I brought my 2 pots of D. adelae and D. prolifera in from the porch. One D. adelae and the prolifera are either dead or severely suffering. The other D. adelae is hanging in there. I moved them to the terrarium and moved some of the ping sprouts to the bedroom window sill. ironically, the P...

Alright.. *rubbing hands together* where to begin. lol. I've been doing research for the past couple weeks on what I want to do, or what I NEED to do. My goal is to grow a bit of everything, including Lowland Neps, Cephs and Helis. I've asked around, done a TON of reading, and i'm still...

Hey folks - Being that there are so many people here with a) way more experience than I have in building grow chambers and b) a much better understanding of thermodynamics than me, I thought I would reach out to see anyone had any bright ideas for me. Basically, I recently re-did my grow rack...

I live pretty far up north and temps are still way too cold to bring temperate plants outside, but I checked on them just the other day and they're ALL awake... The ones that didn't wake up much earlier and are now dead from fungus gnats that must have over wintered with them, lack of light, and...

So I just got my power bill after getting my lights set up again for the first time since the apartment. In the apartment, my light bills, with my lights being on from when I woke up till when I went to bed (about 12-16 hours) was about $50 a month. My light bill at the house (4 bedroom...

I want to share my experiences and photos with other GHOST believers. If you aren't one, please keep your skeptical and unnecessary comments to yourself. Also, if you have stories or pics of your own.. PLEASE feel free to share them here. So, back when my previous house was on this property I...

I was wondering if it would be safe to mix up some cayan pepper and distilled water and coat my Nepenthes Ventrata with it to deter the cats from eating it. I would like to be able to take it out of my bedroom so it can get more light, but the cats then have access to it. It is surviving where...

So I moved in with a friend about a year ago. I had a South facing window and my plants were... surviving. They weren't thriving by any sense of the word -- my capes were reddish green, my Nepenthes wasn't making cups, but they weren't in danger of croaking and it was just a temporary thing...

hello everyone can i start off my strawberry plants now ready to put outside in march i was wondering if i can put it on a window sill in a warm bedroom well so my main question is if i put this on a sunny window will it flower when its ready or will it flower straight away or is it a photo...

I know there are a few people here that have radio controlled helicopters, so that's why I'm sharing. The only helicopters I've ever flown have been 3 channel coaxial helis, 2 rotors. The coaxial blade system make super stable flight, this is also true for 4 channel coaxial. They are incredibly...

I'm just testing the waters at this point so please excuse my ignorance when it comes to neps... I'm looking at a hook in the ceiling of my bedroom and obviously I have to make use of it so I was thinking of what I could put into a hanging basket and neps came to mind. Problem is that my window...

The view from my bedroom window: View from the kitchen table: Some ferns i found at the local forest (3 different species in the pics) Ferns i got at the garden center Rajah i got 2 weeks ago. The growpoint has died but a new one popped up in a day. Some more ferns from...

Over my past few years active on this board I have seen very little information on growing N. Northiana. While an incredibly beautiful, well-known species, it seems very few people, especially in the US cultivate this plant. If they do, I can't find them anywhere. :-D Last week I finally felt...

My new "South American setup". I've got Brocchinia, Heliamphora Minor, Drosera Graminifolia, and Drosera Intermedia "Cuba" in this pot, along with a mystery non-carnivore. Nepenthes Truncata and Drosera Spatulata: Mexican Butterwort pot (Agnata "El Lobo", Pirouette, and Moranensis "D")...

with all my carnivorouse plants taken from me after an ugly seperation I found allmost all my plants dead when I was given them back. My terrarium of tropical Drosera was left outside (my wifes new boyfriend didnt want then in "my" his bedroom) and so was trown outside and had to make it through...

So my Gold Strike is still alive. This is honestly somewhat of a shock, as it was the smallest plant placed outside with my other VFTs, and not brought in anywhere near soon enough. It's spent the last 2 and a half Months in a small fridge in my bedroom closet, doing the dormancy thing. I...
