care

im looking for someone experienced in nepenthes care and propagation to analyze these 2 pics and provide an explanation. Background: a number of months ago I took 2 cuttings of my Nepenthes x ventrata. I stuck one cutting in a glass of distilled water and another in a small pot filled with...

Heres my Nepenthes Ventricosa after 3 weeks in my care :) I just bought some Sphagnum Moss off Ebay, so thats one of the main new things. I actually need some help with the moss. It was harvested off of the sellers land, and it came with a boatload of other vegetation including dead leaves, dead...

This is def common knowledge but I want to share my joy because my friends don't care about Cps ^_^ Bought this Ventrata 2 months ago and it had two plants in one pot. So I divided them into two pots and placed them in two different environment. The first one hangs under my roof near my front...

I've noticed they are very expensive compared to other Cps. The price varies depending on species and sizes. Just curious, how much would you pay? Since I like to buy younger plants and watch them grow, I think i'd prefer a small size Heliamphora BUT, at this point I'd take size my money...

This giveaways arrived all around the same time. Thank you guys for this amazing gifts, I will take really good care of them.

I listed some seeds on eBay that were listed as only shipping within the United States, as it is illegal to ship Nepenthes seeds between countries without proper permits. I also don't want to deal with international shipping or the costs of that... By the time the seeds got there, they'd be...

I have Ventrata, and sibuyanensis I've spent about one week looking into which ones to get next. I def only want highland to intermediate. I also don't care to pay too much for them, maximum price for each plant is $30. So now what? Is it just me or do the younger plants look different...

I've been on this forum a couple of time but I suppose it's time for a somewhat formal introduction... So, my name is Danny and I'm addicted to carnivorous plants, especially nepenthes. I used to be a normal biology student with a small interested in carnivorous plants ( I grew a Venus Fly trap...

A couple weeks ago I set up a large (2.5ft wide x 5ft long x 7.5ft tall) grow tent in my apartment for lowland Nepenthes and picked up my exotica plants preorder (~20 plants) from a local nursery here in the northeast. I use an 8-tub, 4ft. long T5 HO fixture, and my light levels and temperature...

I tend to grow out more plants than I need for my collection. I grow things from seed to divide plants out of curiosity or necessity to keep plants healthy. But that leaves me with way more than I care to keep. Giveaways are a way to alleviate some of the excess but I am looking for a place...

Hello! I have made the move over the past month or so to a new store software. This store allows for reviews of products, so if you've purchased anything from me and feel you could take a moment to leave a review for me, it would be much appriciated! Post here once you have written a review...

How did you get involved with neps? Do you have a favorite? if so, what draws you to that plant? My fascination with Nepenthes started long before I had the means to care for one. I had a VFT and a purple pitcher plant, and was reading up on their care, and in doing so, read about the care of...

Hey everybody, And greetings from Pennsylvania! I've been growing CP's since I was 10 or so, but I'm just getting back into growing carnivorous plants after going through 4 years of college ( which made it almost impossible to care for my plants... ) I'm pretty fixated on growing nepenthes at...

Due to my mentioning my interest in CPs I recently was tasked with the care of a Nep at the pond center I'm working at. It grows in definite lowland conditions, daytime highs have been up to 90F, and one morning I came in at 7 and the greenhouse temp was 85F. The plant is doing pretty well I...

Howdy. It's been awhile since I posted. Here is my current growing area: Have Cephalotus, Drosera aliciae, Drosera spatulata, Pinguicula caerulea, and some form of terrestrial Utricularia all growing in a 6'' pot filled with pure sphagnum moss. A few weeks ago I made some leaf cuttings of...

I'm looking for a bladderwort that is easy to care for, spreads over an area quickly, blooms often, will grow on a rock like surface, will grow submerged and emerged, can handle gentle water movement. What bladderwort is for me?

Hi everyone! My name is Zach, in case you couldn't tell from my cryptic username, and I am rather new to this whole carnivorous plant thing. What started as a fascination for the unusual has, in five short months, become a full-fledged addiction. As of right now, my grow list is as follows...

I would like to repot my capensis soon, I am leaving for awhile Saturday and leaving the feeding and watering up to the family so I would like fresh and clean soil to reduce complications. I am having a very difficult time looking for small bags of sphagnum peat. I found beach sand at Lowes...

I feed my VFT's small crickets a few times each season, and went to our resident herp and exotics shop yesterday to pick up a dozen or so when I got... distracted. They had expanded their bug section quite a lot since last I had been there, and I was too weak to resist. Meet my new...
