    Stapeliae winter photoperiod

    I'm interested in getting some stapeliae, but I'm not familiar of their care (or even succulent care for that matter!). It mostly seems that during the winter, they are "dormant", although I don't know if it is a true dormancy or if they just slow down their growth. Because of this, I should...

    Goodyera pubescens

    I'm offering a single specimen of this eastern US native orchid. Plant is currently in a 4" round plastic nursery pot, but for shipping purposes it will be removed. I will send it bare root or with the loose media at the winner's discretion. Although it's flowers aren't very showy, the dark...

    P. Primuliflora care?

    Hi so I just found two primuliflora butterworts in this garden center today, they looked liked they needed a home. Right now I have them in a small tupperwear container that is ten inches from a desk lamp. I read online that they like high humitity. If anyone else has suggestions let me know.

    Hello from PA! Just joined!

    Hello everyone, I'm excited to join the forums! I've been a long time admirer of carnivorous plants but I've never owned one until now. Unfortunately most of the reason I joined is because I need help with it, lol. I've been googling and researching care of various plants and naturally I keep...

    So, How should I start?

    Feel free to move this thread if its in the wrong space. There was no 'questions about terrariums' section here. X) So, I already have a 10 gallon fish tank that is empty and needs some sort of life form in it.But I think little terrariums to put on my window ledges would be nice too, since I...

    Hey all, I'm really really interested in growing Edwardsiana. I have a cage on my windowsill with my fusca and my alata in it. I want to grow Eddy but I know it needs cold nights. I want to dunk it in ice water briefly before bed and then have the AC blowing on it all night. Other forum...

    Ampullaria

    Getting an ampullaria red soon! I looked around many sources for the care sheet and they were all kinda contradicting each other. Some said to give it shade since it grows on the forest floor in the wild, some said to give it full direct sunlight. So I decided to ask you guys for your...

    Dendrobium gift box and culture questions.

    I was given four Dendrobium orchids that with just labels as a gift/challenge to research and take care of them. From left to right we have a Fancy Angel Lycee, Kingianum, Crepiteferum/Glomeratum, and a Gold Star. As you can see, they're rather young and won't flower for a few years, but I...

    Sundews that do well with almost no water and don't care about humidity

    The Cape Sundew lives in arid South Africa, and I heard that it can go long spells without watering. Drosera Binata, the fork-leaved Sundew, supposedly can survive long spells without watering too. I have heard that D. Brevifola does OK under those conditions too. So what are the Sundews that...

    Drosera Capensis suffering... Heat or light stress possibly?

    This poor plant seems to be declining in my care. I need your help determining what's stressing it. I think I may have had it too close to my grow light. It has red splotches on the lower stems that aren't on my other plant that sits about 5" lower (and so farther from the light source). The...

    Trout's Growlist

    My grow list is very short :(. Terrarium: 7 D. Muscipula 'Red Dragon' 2. D. Capensis typical (one of these, I'm not actually sure of, because under its current lighting, the leaves are turning pink, which I didn't think was normal for D. Capensis) 2 D. 'Floating' Some strange spiky grass...

    Mystery terrestrial orchid?

    I have received an orchid division labeled as a "hardy Chinese ground orchid" (Bletilla), which I can tell from the foliage it's not. Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures of the blooms. It was given to me as a gift from a friend who grows it on an east-facing windowsill, with the directions...

    New nepenthes not looking top notch

    Hello everybody! I recently reviewed three nepenthes from a friend. While I'm not a complete amateur, it's been years since I've had one in my care. While two out of the three nepenthes look great, one has me a little worried. It has a few browning leaves, and the rest are dried. Additionally...

    6 year old 4 foot tall Ventrata. Looking for advice

    I have had a Nepenthese Ventrata for 6 years now. For several years it struggles and didn't grow much. It started vining a few year ago, and a year ago I trimmed off some tiny sucker vines and some dying yellowed ones, and it took off. It has 3 vines, the tallest is 4 feet. I have it propped up...

    Alright, so I am now the owner of one tuber each of D. menziesii and D. modesta (because Johnny is awesome!!!) that I have no idea how to properly care for, so the past few days have been spent heavily researching how to keep them alive. I was told that now is the prime time to start these guys...
