Hello Friends!, I have just redone my propagation chamber. The top is for seeds and sensitive CPs, the bottom is dedicated to growing sarracenia 24/7, as Bugweed does. They're not really big, and don't use much energy. The top one has a 13 watt bulb, and grows things well (I've used that one...

Hi all! Having been inspired by many users here, I built myself a grow rack a few weeks ago: It has reflective mylar on all four sides and a black mesh exterior to help keep passers by from having seizures :-)) Inside, there are two Home Depot shop lights that each hold two 48" T8 bulbs - each...

Hi everyone. I'm brand new on this forum, but I've been an avid reader for quite some time. You guys are all a great resource. Just reading through threads on this board taught me most of what i know about growing CPs. I also built my grow rack based on the fine designs I've seen around here...

Is there a marine grade non toxic, safe enamel to use in my terrarium? I have built a background from expanding foam and covered it in sealant/sand. some of the sand is still flaking off exposing the sealant/foam. so if you have any siggestions, please help

So, old news aside, I have my own room now. And it has a bookshelf that's built into the wall. And I've just DREAMED about putting a small collection of HL plants there (helis, cephs, a few HL neps and dews) for months before I moved in, cause I knew I'd be in here someday. Anyway, I thought...

Well, test run complete for my indoor winter GH. I got one of these because it will fit in one of my spare bedrooms. I got antsy and decided to put it up as a temporary outdoor GH until my new place is done getting built. And I have to say, so far, my plants are LOVING it!! I had a couple...

So I had "someone" request pics of where I was growing my plants while my new house is being built. This is the 3 season's room they are in until my move in day. It's perfect for the H/L's, but the LL's have adapted wonderfully. ALL of my plants are just loving this room. Thier pitchers never...

Hello! After seeing those nifty Utriculariums that Swords built, I had to try my hand at it! Its just cork-bark (formally used to grow dendrobiums) cut and sanded to size to fit the large "Cube of Death." I have LFS in rain water at the bottom, into which I planted a plug of U. sandersonii...

As I mentioned up here, I don't feed 'beneficial' insects to my CPs (at least not deliberately) and, in fact, I have gardens planted to help increase their numbers. Around 10 years ago (give or take a few), we built a deck and a pergola overhead - off our kitchen. One of the vines I planted to...

[/IMG] here's a recent pic of the Darling. bog I built 2 yrs ago. Just added several D. rotundifolia from N. Calif donated by Peter d'Amato. and ok, I threw a few non-natives in there as well.

Figure I'll show of my homebuilt monster and whats growing in it! Here is the tank itself. It's built out of quarter inch lumber and plexiglass wrapped in mylar foil. The top is another piece of plexiglass resting on nails to provide veltilation. It is 24 in X 36 in X 12 in. It has worked very...

This spring I migrated my small collection of Sarrs from a menagerie of pots into those planter boxes made famous by Brokken. In trying to decide where in my yard to place them, I came across a small 4'x4' area seemed promising. Since the footprint was small, I knew I'd have to build something...

This season I am working on a project useing a large round minibog with a 6 inch deep built in water tray. Since it's huge I was going to put tall growing Sarrs in the center, then forked dews and filliformis around the sarrs, and then lastly on the far outside mixed varieties of low growing...

I built a shade house about 16-18 months ago: About six months ago I started to notice white spots on my plants. I feared the worst and thought I had some type of pest, but closer inspection revealed that it was small pieces of the shade cloth. Unfortunately, it has begun to deteriorate...

I have tried the cheapy plastic and pipe greenhouses. My husband built 2 of them, and then I bought 2 others that were cheap. They all break. We used the greenhouse plastic that is supposedly made for this purpose and is supposed to withstand the sun, heat, and cold, but it doesn't. It ends up...

I have learned a great bit from reading the sections of Darwin's Insectivorous plants available in e-book format here: e-book or here: Original book in PDF with Illustrations ICPS on growing from seed: Germination Guide Pictures: Rotundifolia Humbolt Co. is Big Lagoon! IMHO you should read...

When I was taking a quick stroll through the forums earlier today, I noticed that Swords had posted something about a huge tank in the chatbox. I grabbed the url and took a look. Wowza! :0o: Apparently this guy built an addition onto his house where the addition is primarily a great room but...
