    Some Random Pics

    Just cleaned out one of my tanks a little bit, so I figured I would pull out some plants and take some pics. Here is a particularly dark and purple form of Spathulata. It is so dark inside the pitcher that I had to turn the flash on or else it was just pitch black. When I first got it, it had...

    whiskey barrel halves

    i was wondering if anyone could suggest a place either online or perferably a local place that might carry wooden whiskey barrel halves? I got a liner for one but have not had any success in finding one at nearby stores. I really just need it to help keep the sun off the black plastic during...

    Anybody want to try an experiment?

    I've been wondering for a few years if pine pollen has any effect on cp's. Every year in this area they are covered with pine pollen. Does this actually help them in any way? I'm not disciplined enough to carry this out the way it needs to be done. So is there anybody that will be willing to...

    Ping planting media

    I am getting to repot my existing Mexican Pings and am expecting to add three more to my collection in the next week. I read Joseph's "sticky" on the care and feeding of Pings and he recommends silica sand...that I have...Schultz aquatic plant soil and iron oxide as the planting media. None...

    Sandstorm!

    As some of you probably know, I live in the high desert east of LA. Yesterday night when I was watching the news, high winds were on the forecast for my area. I didn’t think much of it because we get lots of wind often (it is a desert region after all…). The winds turned out to be much more...

    Succulents for shipping.

    Send me 5 bucks for shipping (well if you really want to split hairs, 4.50 would do but a 5 dollar bill is just easier to deal with) and I'll sent you 2 species (multi crowned by the way) of haworthia and some little red weird echevaria thing. Hell I dunno what it is and I'm not going to post...
