care

I've noticed some nice pitchers developing in good colors. These plants are new in my care and they really brighten me up. Glad I've been poisoned into Neps ha! Nepenthes Viking : From a friend has color very nicely. Here's the development. 26 Aug 2015 Nepenthes Viking Seed grown : Like a baby...

I recently just started to take care my 1st VFT. Had a great time feeding for the first time since it was store bought from HD. Now after I fed it i wanted it to get used to the California sun with enough shade on it. So after a few days after i fed my boy, some of the traps turned black and...

Hi everyone, I got into CPs a little over a year ago and have been referencing this and other forums for loads of care information and ideas so I figured it's about time to join in. I grow mostly Nepenthes, but have a few sundews, butterworts, flytraps, a cephalotus and an H. minor. Most of...

Hi gang! So, I always wondered this: Common wisdom is that containers for Sarracenia should be plastic pots, rather than unglazed clay/terracotta. (Always done that, never had any problems.) The opposite it true for Darlingtonia, because they like their roots cool, and the evaporation of...

I got this plant about a month ago. It doesn't seem to like its current growing conditions. I am growing it with my petiolaris Drosera (which are doing great) on a windowsill in an enclosed container. The humidity and temperatures are pretty high. The plant has shrunk even though I have fed...

Hello TerraForums, Well after loosing all my plants in 2009 after having a heart attack and ending up staying in the hospital for 6 months I was to upset/depressed about loosing my rather extensive collection of Neps and Cephs to to try and start all over again at that time. Well not I'm...

If you have neps that need pruning please message me! I don't care if they are or aren't rooted as long as they aren't on my grow list and look cool:-D. Check out my grow list for plants for trade (T) and feel free to inquire about plants that don't have a T next to them. Cheers, charlie

Hi everyone as anyone can assume i'm pretty new here but im pretty old in the plant world hahaha! The seeds i am offering are N. Lingulata and N. Reinwardtiana (a bunch if mixed color clones) they havent been sitting long and i would like to try to trade them with a few people before their...

Hi im new to this site and find myself needing help with a issue im having with one of the nepenthes (ramispina genting) i have. It was sent to us in a bag (of course..) and ive been slowly opening the bag since the temps have gotton good, ive been doing it with the other plants we have as well...

I recently acquired a pot of Occidentalis sp Occidentalis Drosera. I plan to keep them indoors with the rest of my drosera under a T5HO fixture at about 16 hours a day of light (using the tray method). Will I need to eventually lower the light levels in order for them to make gammae? Won't they...

In this case the Orchid needs to be rescued FROM my care. About a year ago I bought a couple Orchids at Trader Joe's. One I've left alone, and is doing fine. The other I decided to divide up, unfortunately I didn't really have enough spots with sufficient sunlight to place the divisions, so...

Her story: I named her smiley b/c she bites so damn hard. She was rescued from an idiot who keeps buying reptiles that he can not handle. This particular imbecile buys for no reason knowing nothing about the proper care, habitat, size, temperament, or even feeding needs. He has killed few nice...

Started just recently helping take care of animals at the university I'm studying at. I'm not at the stage where I can help handle the venomous ones, but I'm still in the room, so got some pics of some interesting animals: Spotted Night snake-Hypsiglena torquata by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr...

First pitcher to open in my care. I just love this hybrid so decided to share. Thank you Paul for this beauty! [/url]S. x umlauftiana (2) by Djoni C, on Flickr[/IMG] [/url]S. x umlauftiana (1) by Djoni C, on Flickr[/IMG]

Hi, many of my plants are doing well and reproducing. Thus in the spirit of spring and the genorosity shown to me over the years in the boards I'm doing a giveaway! The winning member will receive at least one plant of the following genera. Nepenthes, Drosera, Pinguicula, Sarracrnia...

I was wondering if any of our PNW members are involved in the setting up of a planter of cps at a local college? I just read a thread on another forum in which a person started a thread about a poor helpless VFT they "liberated" from an on campus planter recently put in with apparently some...

Just got a little care package from a friend and fellow member of both this forum and the orchid forum I frequent. Thanks again Dave S! First pic is Gongora rufescens, my favorite in the genus (at least in terms of looks), Second is two different cultivars of Neofinetia (now apparently Vanda)...

As a thanks to everyone who has donated to the recent NASC auction, I am giving away a Drosera prolifera to one lucky winner. The plant is fully mature and has several flower stalks ready to make some baby dews. I grow it in an open top fish bowl in live sphagnum. I can post pictures this...

I received a plant labelled N sp. 'philippines' from Bruce Bednar a few months ago now. Its thrown out a few pitchers, the first of which was pretty deformed while it established itself to my growing conditions. Its now opened its third good one under my care, so I am starting to look for an ID...

I have been posting on here a lot looking for a good plant that fits my needs. I am looking for an easy to grow plant. Something i can put in a windowsill, that does not need very high humidity and is forgiving. I do not care that much about size but a smaller one is better than a bigger one. I...
