About a year ago, I posted some pictures of my highland shelf/alarm clock. I was snapping a few pictures today and thought I'd make an update. Not a Nep, but one of my favorite plants from this shelf. It took me three or four years to get the hang of this genus, but it looks like it's finally...

So I moved from my apartment to a bedroom at a friend's house. The bedroom has a nice south facing window, so I have put aside my plant light and am letting my plants do the full sunlight thing. Oddly enough, I just noticed this: Any thoughts? These guys are right next to the window, I am...

As many had predicted when I posted last, the shade house is filling up fast! I really need to slow down, but there are just some many beautiful plants out there… They truly are very addictive. Here are some recent photos I hope you enjoy them: The shade house as viewed from my bedroom The...

This clip is pulled from our student newspaper. I am the 'Miami University Senior' at the beginning of the article who discovered the shenanigans. Pretty exciting stuff if you ask me. I removed the names and addresses to protect the guilty. Girl enters wrong home, eats cookies, undresses...

I want to set up a VFT window shelf (and perhaps a shadier Drosera shelf under it...) outside a third story bedroom window. The shelf would be mounted on the side of a brick chimney facing south-by-southwest, and would be shaded until mid-day by the house, then would receive full sun the rest of...

I've been out of Neps for a couple years but after starting with Lithops and Cacti I've gotten the plants back in the blood! So this is the highland Nep/Orchid & CP chamber I want to setup, I will have 3 times the floor space of my old highland chamber with this design and mounted mini orchids...

Well I couldn't stay unpotted for long, I've been percolating the idea of a new highland nep/orchid/cp chamber here's the initial blue prints: The shelves are 4 ft L x 2 ft W x 6 ft H - spaced 2 ft apart Braces/frame will be built of 1" x 4" pine The actual shelves will be egg crate to allow...

Hi all! I have these 2 Monstera deliciosas, and i have a few questions about them, some here might be able to answer.. In all the articles ive read about them, it basically says 'shady or indirect light, lots of water and fertilizer'. I have one on a sill and the other in my bedroom where its...

Hi, I am Crazycow73 and I am completely new to terrariums, planting, and all that stuff. I was wondering, what is a good way to start? I want a drosera and I live in PA so I thought I might need a terrarium. I have a big space in my bedroom but I have no idea where to get a decent terrarium...

I moved my terrarium from my basement to the sun filled window in my spare bedroom. Over night the once in awhile sprouting flower stalks bloomed giants and many more than usual. Very fun to see. I believe these are all Callistos but they do have 2 different flower colors and hues so maybe...

I have a 10 gallon divided tank that I keep two bettas in and I've been having noisy filter problems for months. I've tried Aqua Clear and had it vibrate way too much, tried Aqueon and had that one be VERY loud, and am now trying a Whisper PF10. All three have been too loud for my bedroom. I'm...

I live in a two bedroom town house where the only windows face north. I have a little bit of a yard in front that is further shaded by a Maple tree. I would like to put the VFT outside as well as the North American Pitcher plants. I grow an orchid there for the summer and I was wondering if I...

Yesterday my Grandad had this great idea - get me a terrium, or more factually - make one. So we went down to Mitre 10 (local hardware store in NZ) and what do you know, they were advertising grow racks (or mini-greenhouses, as they called them), and Grandad was like, 'lets get one of those...

Never eat in your bedroom. You know why? There are fire ants crawling everywhere. In my bed, on the floor, in my clothes, etc. However, in staying optomistic, I figured this is a great chance to capture as many as I can as food for my plants.

I stumbled across some old pictures of all my plants pre-car accident. All were taken on a webcam in a dark bedroom so they're not very good but you can get the gist of my plants before they all were killed. Pre-Accident 8 Inch pot of Venus Flytraps - Dente, Jaws, Big Mouth, Fang, Cup Trap...

Gang, After I was working on my grow shelf some this past week I went back and found some old photos of the "evolution" of my growing area. I thought this might be fun as a walk down memory lane, since I didn't post a ton of photos as I made improvements/modifications to my growing area. For...

My CP collection is currently scattered, due to space and dormancy considerations. My buckets of minibogs are with a co-worker, while the bulk of the collection is on the 5-tiered rack, a small rack for the Neps, our bedroom window sill, and the boys' window sill. On occasion, the boys' room...

Well, yesterday I recieved some N. globosa in the mail and I was able to sow them today. I did half in a peat/perlite mix and 1/2 in sphagnum I chopped in a blender with perlite. About 80 seed in all. That was nice, but I also finnished my new grow area for Nep's in the spare bedroom. I got...

Merry Christmas and a Happy Boxing day to all our friends both far and near.. and especially to all our uniformed brother's and sister's in harms way and to their loved ones that miss them so dearly on this special day God bless and God speed.. Av 'Twas the night before Christmas, he lived...
