bedroom

I want to get myself a nice little CP to grow while I'm living back home, just to take care of before I get back out on my own where I can create the veritable rainforest I had before... I spotted a mature N. ventricosa at a nursery nearby, which surprised me... I understand that they are...

Okay, so I have 2 Leopard Geckos, I got them 1.5years ago and ones male and the other is female. They both have always lived together and do fine. They live in a 15gal long btw. Anyways, she has eggs. Last year about this time she laid 2 clutches, and neither were fertile. But now they might be...

To my Discus. Yes Scott, it's true. I hope to get them again sometime and have the tank set up in a basement or larger room. My tanks are in the second bedroom. This is where the computer is also, so my wife and I spend a bit of time in there. During the summer the room stays uncomfortably...

Hey everybody, the other day I saw an ad for a promotion going on through McDonalds. It's some contest to redecorate your bedroom with $5000 as the grand prize for three winners. Details are here: http://www.mcdonalds.com/usa/ronald/extremedream.html I think that they'll be choosing winners...

Yes, this is similar to my post from a few weeks ago. After a lot of back and forth and a lot of offers of things i really didn't want, as well as a couple successful trades, i'm trying this post again the right way from the start now that i've figured out what information and conditions i need...

I can deny it no longer. My plants don't get adequate light from my bedroom windowsill. I checked the weather for the week, and it seems to be pretty consistent, so I decided to try putting my plants outside. The temperature ranges are 75 in the day and about 55 at night, with high sunlight...

I was asked what I went to prison for and since I dont wanna hijack the thread and I have nothing to hide Ill explain it here. I got busted for burglary in 1997, I cant remember what degree (dont make me dig the papers out!) but it was to a business that was closed at the time. Its a major...

I have a 42 watt, cool white fluorescent bulb on it's way to me from a site that I ordered it from. Problem is, I only have a desklamp to use and the bulb is so big it's going to stick at least halfway out of the lamp. I have to put this in my bedroom and don't want to blind me or my wife...

my kids bought me a darlingtonia, a Nep and Rubra for christmas gifts.  I've had them all together in a terrarium in my bedroom (michigan) ever since.  The rubra is the only one that looks like its doing good.  What should I do about putting them into dormancy?  Appreciate any help

I setup a simple windowsill terrarium for my kids in their bedroom window.  I built a small table and painted it to match the kid's rooms.  I then purchased a seed tray with humidity cover and drilled holes in it control heating.  All in all I think I was out about 15 bucks for the wood and seed...

CAT: 1) Pick cat up and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding pill in right hand. As cat opens mouth pop pill into mouth. Allow cat to close mouth and...

i've run into a predicament with my sarracenia. the long and short of it: i have to live in a motel for a month (it's a long story!). my sarras are currently in a bedroom with the window slightly open (i am in wisconsin). they are all fast asleep. right now, the only option i have with the...

So here's the game... everybody shares their strangest plant story (or as many as you like I suppose.) For example... When I was about ten or eleven I started to get into plants and gardening. I got bored with growing flowers and stuff outside and wanted to keep something a little more exotic...

I have several indoor only cats. I will be trying to germinate CPs here in the near future. I never thought much about any seedlings until I realized my indoor cats can be as problematic as the outdoor ferals/strays. If these plants are toxic, I am going to have to grow them all in a room that I...

the 2.5 ft cutting i purchased back in the end of July or so is doing well. it has added 3 new leaves recently. should i take this as a sign that it has rooted? also how hardy is this species? its in a 6 inch pot in a large clear bag under some 4 ft florecent lights. about a month ago i noticed...

Here's my best pitcher this year (and biggest pitcher ever for me.) It measures just over 10 inches from the bottom to the base of the lid. It's a N. hirsuta x veitchii, which grows like a weed in my bedroom window. Unfortunately the picture doesn't really show off the nice red speckling on the...

Sorry about my abscence.. first, for the past few days the computer has been freezing up every time I boot it up. Did it three times in a row a couple days ago. Second, we evacuated for Hurricane Frances last night at 10 or so, and we came up to my half aunt Pam's house in Myrtle Beach, South...

Here's a batch of photos I took this afternoon. First, my N. aristolochioides has decided to start pitchering. This is the first of three inflating pitchers to open. It's just a one incher, but I'm pleased the plant is growing and pitchering: And speaking of N. aristolochioides, here's a...

Saturday I went home to take care of my plants like I do each week. I came home to several disasters that are mentioned in the proper forums. My sundew disaster revolves around the burning of yet another group of Spatulata. Yah, remember, I toasted all my seedling last summer? Well, last week my...

I wuz just looking around at Petco for something for my plants and i saw the little terrariums. They're really for raising crickets or really small frogs but i thought it was a perfect size for my windowsill. So I bought it and I put a pretty big VFT, (1 inch traps!) , a red dragon VFT (It's...
