    Has my Sarr Bitten off More Than it Can Chew?

    Well, recently there have been a lot of flies around my Sarracenia bog. A lot of flies are usually around here in general. Anyways, one Sarracenia of mine, the Rubra, did not have enough digestive fluids to reach the one fly; my Rubra is filled to the top with bugs. Now, the fly is just flying...

    Any Doctors In The House?

    Can someone diagnose my plants for me? Growing in a 50 gal terrarium under 3 ft T10 lights about a foot away. Other Nepenthes growing strong right next to these with seemingly no side effects. I first thought pests, but generally the damage is much more irregular with bugs. My second...

    Suggestions for gnats

    I'm trying to select a plant that is suitable for a beginner and will take care of the gnats, fruit flies, and possibly mosquitoes that are rampant in my area. It seems that butterworts and sundews are most popular for these problems. I'm leaning toward the sundews, since they can eat slightly...

    Not Rot, Not Fungus, Not Insects, But What's Ailing My Plants? =[

    So after the past several posts, my garden is only taking a decline. It's not too much water, or too little. There's always about 1" of water in all of the trays. Contrary to the overcast day, they typically get lots and lots of bright and direct sun. I only use distilled water, or collected...

    Unknown pest, maybe mites

    I got some tiny bugs on my new neps, they're about 0,1 to 0,25 mm. I haven't seen a lot of them, maybe 2 or 3 total, and small threads gowing from the growing tips to other parts of the plants. The plant in the picture is the talangensis in my picture thread. Does anyone know what they are ?

    Dangers of Drying Sarrs?

    As previously posted, I have terrible, annoying, black bugs that are disgusting and overcoming every pot in my collection. It was suggested that I flood them out, unfortunately, I don't have the water resources to do that. Upon further contemplation, I recalled how they died instantaneously upon...

    Massive die-off

    Hmm I'm pretty perplexed by what's happened to my plants in the last month. Ever since I posted pics of my outdoor collection in the Greenhouse/Terrarium thread, I've come back to a progressive die-off of many of my Sarracenias and Dionaeas. Many of the tall Sarracenias suddenly shriveled from...

    I Finally Got That Rain I've Been Wanting!

    In the form of a severe thunderstorm with winds which blew over my portable greenhouse. My tray of sundews, tray of highland Nepenthes, individual lowlanders, and my tray of Sarracenia seedlings all got tossed. I knew it was going to rain, so the seedlings and Neps were in there for...

    Little Shiny Black Bugs of HORROR!!!

    I don't have any pictures because they're very small, very quick, and don't like being exposed. But I just discovered them early this morning in a couple of my plants, which were not doing too well. When I saw them, they were crawling over the rhizome and through the soil. I didn't check every...
