bugs

So after seeing 3 individual seedlings from 6 different sets of nep seed in a humidity dome sprout, only 1 is left and i thought it was from fungus. I sprayed them today, and while spraying the fungus with a hydrogen peroxide mix, a lot of little brown bugs started scurrying all over the media...

This will be my thread for the progress of my Sarracenias and such. Some of you might remember I posted this pic asking for help if I should repot the S. rubra gulfensis in the back left. I gave it a "hair cut" instead per everyone's recomendations. Spring cleaning time for little bog by...

Hello Terraforums, In my time at my university, I have watched the bog garden in the school's conservatory dwindle in health and fade. As an underclassmen, all I could do is try to weed sadly, or maybe pick off a few mealy bugs. At the same time, I have been fortunate enough to have been...

Any ideas as to what they are? Found these inside of one of my ceph cutting cups.

I found an interesting critter today. I won't say from who I got it, just in case it's a pest. I doubt it, though. Alas, it is effectively microscopic, and I cannot take a picture of it; I haven't the necessary tools. (I wish I did!) I tried to look it up, but Google just brought up aphids on...

I had this happen last year and thought I'd share. I used to leave my patio door open because I was building a coop for my chickens. I'd raised the chickens indoors as babies, and they had nests on the patio and would come in at night to sleep there. The food and water was there so they could...

I think the plant is a Red Bug. It was kind of nice out today, so I took a couple pots out to trim dead parts off like I should have done months ago. I noticed new growth on some VFTs, and a flower stalk starting on one Sarr. Then I got to my one pot that has two (or probably three or more...

Hey guys, it's me! Long time, no post, and I aim to fix that. So I have a design up on the Tshirt site, Threadless, and I really want it to get printed so I can wear it as well as get my work out there. However, for that to happen, I need votes which will help my shirt be considered for...

I hear people saying things like, "The upper pitchers on this should look super nice!" and I feel stupid not knowing what they mean. :jester: I did some reading and apparently the theory is that upper pitchers are designed to catch flying bugs and lower pitchers are designed to catch crawling...

I purchased three neps yesterday, all of which had full cups of digestive fluids. I would like to give them some extra nutrients without fertilizing through the roots. I know it's not 100% necessary, but I'd like to give them some more growing strength. So would it be appropriate to feed them at...

Has anyone used diatomaceous earth with their carnivorous plants? For anyone unfamiliar, diatomaceous earth is a dust that's not harmful to humans but easily destroys insects' exoskeletons and respiratory systems. I have an issue with gnats and happen to already have some diatomaceous earth for...

So while watering all the neps on my grow rack yesterday, I noticed a small (1mm-ish) brown bug scurry across some media (perlite/LFS). Upon closer inspection, I saw that these were in nearly all my pots since they are all next to each other. should I be worried? I fee like bugs are gonna make...

Actually, I'm trying to catch bugs. Recently I was at a function up in the local hills, and there were back swimmers in the pool. I read up on them, noted that they can give a pretty bad bite, and proceeded to catch as many as I could. They were much fun, and very interesting to watch in the...

Started a couple new plants because I am a huge fan of this plant and I miss my other one! Thought it would be fun to show how I am growing them and how they progress. So an update since they have been growing for a couple weeks now since germinating and I just recently decided to take some...

My dubia roaches are reproducing MUCH faster than one adult bearded dragon can eat. Teddy is about to start brumating (reptile hibernation), so these roaches must be thinned. I am offering 100 adults, 40 males and 60 females, plus all the contents of one over-laden egg crate. This will probably...

I bought a S. leucophylla "Tarnock" two springs ago at a garden center locally. It was/is in a 4"square plastic pot. It didn't really look large when I bought it, but it was the best I could get then. I keep my Sarracenia's outdoors spring to fall in full sun in water trays. Most of my CP are in...

This tank got infested with some little white bugs a long time ago, there was nothing I really cared about in there so I left it alone. They don't seem to be hurting the plants but they are everywhere. Well I want the tank back and don't want to mess with de-bugging the Utric's. Anyway free...
