built

Some more 100 degree pics from today My new 10'x30' structure, I haven't built the tables yet, so just hanging plants for now My seriously overgrown and neglected old shade house, 9'x24' and everything in there needs to be repotted My poor abused Nepenthes from Lowes, had it...

Last weekend I sat down and built a flash diffuser using foamcore, white paper and white duct tape. I wanted something that would be super quick to set-up with the flash mounted directly onto the camera hotshoe (I am a big believer in the KISS principle). The working distance for my 35mm macro...

Outside LL grow area. So I had to make a little detour seeing as how my GH wasn't going to be finished any time soon due to finances. So I had to setup a new outside grow area. My goal is to build the bench and extend the shade cloth over the top of it. I have plenty of shade cloth on the...

Well I abandoned my first bog built several years ago. The plants seemed just languish and not thrive like my plants i have in pots. I built it to close to the fence, so come early afternoon the western sun would be blocked. It was also to low on the one side to the surrounding ground level, so...

Hi! I have available a brand new in the box Laguna PressureFlo 2100 UVC pond filter. It's a nice unit with a built in UV and is backflush capable, so in normal usage it only needs to be opened up once a year. As always, looking for temperate stuff only, Sarracenia, interesting VFTs, terrestrial...

So my girlfriend and I were both getting tired of not being able to open my bathroom door fully because of the ginormous grow rack I built to replace the Lowes one that collapsed from the weight of all my plants... So I downsized everything! Also I needed something that took less effort to take...

Recently, I decided to try an experiment: I wanted to “dress up” the bench surfaces between the pots with live Sphagnum. I’ve seen photos from other people’s greenhouses where they’ve built a living Sphagnum culture on the bench tops in this manner, and the idea appealed to me, so…. Six weeks...

I started this a couple months ago and wanted to share.I have a small greenhouse outside but wanted to build this to get some plants to enjoy inside too.I must add a little nervous everything grows really good in the natural sun.Iam not done yet I need to get a small fan and figure out the...

Hello All! I've made a few posts here and there over the last year but I figured it was finally time to (re)introduce myself. My name is Matt and I'm a carnivorous plant enthusiast from central Pennsylvania. Some may remember me from quite a while ago in my teenage and early college years...

As some of you may know, I recently built a grow shelf. Here's a pic to give you an idea:<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/92966415@N07/8452695448/" title="Closed by Mr.FluffyKinz, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8245/8452695448_7608662ae3.jpg" width="375" height="500"...

Hi everyone, these are my first posts on this site. I want to share my newly built nepenthes "mini greenhouse." Its a 33 gallon rimless aquarium with a custom made glass top. I have suspended T5 lights over it. My purpose is to have a collection of "micro neps." Therefore I am focusing on the...

So a few days ago, I received an email from a family member informing me that the firestorm that ravaged the Warrumbungle Range of northern NSW did in fact pass through my grandparents bit of property in the bush. In the words of a neighbor, "it looks like Hiroshima after the bomb." Luckily...

I just looked up "Subspecies" at Wiki' and found nothing to validate the removal of the subspecies designation so I either dreamed the gripe below or am having an LSD flashback. I do remember being told by many years ago that it had been deleted or changed. I find it annoying that the...

im sorry if your getting tired of my terrarium :blush:but ive been asked a couple questions on how mine is built so here is another video , on that subject. .

Hello guys and gals! I am from Anchorage Alaska and I'm new to CP's. I have kept a riparium for about a year and now that I built up my planted high tech 40B aquarium to a high tech riparium and now a high tech/high humidity enclosed ecosystem, I am ready to get into CP's! I will try to get a...

It took four+ weeks but the first 4 planted of the 14 subspecies are germinating now, it will be some time before I can tell if they sent what they advertised but I can say that the seeds all looked different. Now I have to order in a lens adapter for my Fujifilm S2950 so I can do some...

I thought I'd share my weekend project with everyone. I decided to build a paludarium and see if I can come up with something close to my inspiration. This first post is just going to be the build process I went through and then hopefully (since I'm starting all the dews from seed) I will have...

Following my -stravaganza theme of thread titles, I am starting a thread for my sundews. Up next are my pings and heliamphora. I wouldn't say I have a lot of sundews but my collection is steadily growing. I grow all my sundews in my homemade grow rack which I'll show a picture of in this thread...

I thought it might be interesting if members told the stories of what their forum names mean and how they came to choose them. I often wonder... I chose 'bluemax' because that is what I came to call my current computer after I built it. Blue - because the case I chose has blue leds to light it...

I first got into carnivorous plants in middle school when my family built a house on some land in south Georgia during the fall of 2004. I recognized pitcher plants (S. minor) growing in the ditch after seeing S. flava during a field trip to a local Carolina bay. I tried to take care of the...
