Our annual show is coming up this weekend, and it's going to be a great one! Some of the biggest vendors in the US will be there, as well as some incredible plants on display. It's at the Garden Center at Lake Merritt in Oakland, CA on Saturday from noon - 4:00. You can find more information...

I just bought some air plants for the first time and have been having a lot of trouble determining how often I should water them. It seems like every air plant store has completely different guidelines for how often to submerge them, from once a week to once a month, how often to mist them, and...

I was lucky enough to come across a packet of Brocchinia hechtioides and im really excited to plant them and get started. Does anybody know some good techniques to give them a jump? (or any requirements that they need?)

Fungus gnats help with feeding my carnivorous plants, but their larvae have become a problem in one bowl. Can carnivorous plants handle cinnamon in their soil? I have read that it helps control fungus gnats when added to the soil surface. Yes, I have read about various chemical, bacterial, and...

I'm planning on starting a bog garden for carnivorous plants (mostly Sarracenias) in my yard but I had a few questions before I set it up and start buying plants. Several tutorials I found said to perforate the liner at the bottom and several said to leave it intact. Some tutorials also said to...

Just to show I don't just grow Darlingtonia, here's a small selection of my other carnivorous plants.

I've been officially growing carnivorous plants for over a year now. I am happy to say that I am finally ready to 'pay it forward' and do my first giveaway!!! What I have are two seed packets of Drosera burmannii (approximately over 100 seeds per packet). You can see a photo of the parent...

Hello everyone, I have a new pinguicula and am very happy with it. When I received the plant only had a very small (without mucilage) leaves, but is now growing rapidly and looks very healthy. In short, as you can see things haven't gone wrong, has many bugs stuck to the leaves. My major...

Hey everybody I wanted to share an event this Saturday at Kingwood Gardens in Mansfield Ohio. The Ohio Carnivorous Plant Society will have a table along with vendors selling a mixture of carnivorous And other types of plants. Below is a link to the gardens website. Beautiful gardens and...

Hello everyone! Chris here, I have not posted in a while, if you do not remember me I was the guy who did the Carnivora Gardinum timelapse video for carnivorous plants. I have a new project that I am working on, and I am trying to track down two types of plants. I am looking for 6 - 8 of...

Hello Office Workers! I was recently asked to find a showy Nepenthes that reliably produces pitchers in a somewhat sunny office environment. The requestee has no real experience with carnivorous plants and would prefer not to have a terrarium. Supplemental light is a possibility, but the main...

I was over at my mom's, partly to get a picture of a Begonia, and I broke a piece off that plant by accident. So I decided to gather a few things and make it interesting. Here's what I left with: 1) Kalanchoe 'Pink Butterflies' 2) Calceolaria mexicana seedling (annual, reseeds) 3) Begonia...

Hey all. I'm Collin and I wanted to introduce myself here. I've been lurking for a while (there's a ton of information in this forum) and finally created a profile for the NASC benefit auction. I want to thank everyone involved; that auction was a ton of fun and a great way to get involved in...

You're bidding on this stuff: The thing that says Nikon on the item is a strap, and the 'REMOTE CORD' is a piece of electronics that connects to the camera so you can click a button to take the picture without actually touching the camera (in case it's on a finickey tripod, you need to hide...

I am having a lot of ants enter into my kitchen. I am not a fun of using all the chemicals to kill them so is there any plants you guys know that attract ants? It would be in the house so that is another factor. I was thinking maybe a sundew but i am not sure. Thank you again. Nick

You are bidding on 1 packet of Drosera burmannii seeds from plants with location data of Humpty Doo, NT, Australia. This is my favorite form of my favorite carnivorous plant. If you feed it regularly (and it has an enormous appetite) it will grow remarkably quickly after germination (and...

Opening Bid: $25 This is not an auction for everyone. It is, however, perfect for the East Coast US CP grower who (a) has a greenhouse and (b) lives within a reasonable (leaving the definition of "reasonable" up to you) driving distance of the Washington DC metro area and (c) wants a mature...
