coconut

I've looked through previous threads, hoping to find the answer to this, but since I didn't really find anything that satisfied my question(s), I'm posting on here for a solution. I have a young-well, actually TWO-N. mirandax hybrids that I purchased last spring at a reptile show from a guy who...

I was curious about mixing 2 rooting hormones together in the media. For example, can i mix IBA and NAA? Activated charcoal-why/when is it used? Does the origin of the charcoal matter(wood, coconut husks, etc.)? Has anyone used any other auxins or cytokinins than the regular kinetin, BAP, NAA...

Lately it seems like many of my nepenthes are in a funk. Some continue to grow leaves but have stopped pitchering while others have slowed down all around. Quite a few have spouted basals in the past few months so that might explain some of it. I moved to Texas at the beginning of September...

like the thread title says, i want to know if you can germinate sarracenia seeds on coconut fiber. im thinking of ordering some from D amatos site. i think heard something about neps being grown in it, and i know that nepenthes arent quite as sensitive to nutrients as sarrs, so i just want to...

Hello Terraforums, In my time at my university, I have watched the bog garden in the school's conservatory dwindle in health and fade. As an underclassmen, all I could do is try to weed sadly, or maybe pick off a few mealy bugs. At the same time, I have been fortunate enough to have been...

Kulamauiman and Exo gave me some Nepenthe Ventricosa seeds. Thank men. :-D This is the first time I sow Nep. seeds. I put them in cups and fill with coconut coir. The first round I got 5 seedlings (sacrificed one so picture has only 4). One and a half month later I sow the second round and...

I got this in for review on my metal site. Looks funny at first but actually has a lot of good looking stuff, which is cool because I really only have about 5 or 6 recipes and I'm getting tired of em! The book is divided by dish and organized by band who submitted the recipe and their recipe...

~Edit: It appears I made a typographic error; it should read "Ketupat periuk kera". Oops!~ All this started when I read Stewart McPherson's "Pitcher Plants of the Old World", and I found a recipe. Months later, last week, really, I was doing an innocent image search for Nepenthes ampullaria...

I reported 2 of this orchid (name unknown but according to sources i look up it maybe tiger orchid???) and after a few month i notice some white thing on top of both orchids something like a bubble or something rounded in shape. Then i reroot the plant and found what to be a fungus infection but...

The best Neps I've gotten over time have all been potted with some mixture of Coconut Chips. And as they've grown and media degraded, it's time to replace it. I've finally got my hands on some coconut chips. I was thinking about 2 parts LFS, 1 part Perlite, 1 part Coconut Chips. But after...

That is my beautiful ball python, Sheba. In that picture, she is fresh from a shed and rather stuffed. Anyway, I've had her for over a year. She's an adult. Great, although slightly aggressive eater. I love her to pieces. And as such, I know when something is odd. She's not my first ball...

Well, it's sunny out so I've taken a few pics: truncata pasian madagascariensis - forgot if this pitcher was already open on the plant when I got it from adnedarn or not red leopard working on a pitcher alata sending up new pitchers - I like the outline around where the pitcher is going...

is gonna be soo cool. I got it set up with about 3-4 inches of spangum moss, then cased with a thin layer of coconut fiber to help with spawning. I bought a CP starter kit thing from hobby lobby and already planted the seeds in wait of spring (by sprinkling on top of soil). I bought a whole...

Hello all: So, I received a bulbophyllum ornatissisimum for Valentines day and I am a bit confused about taking care of it. It is very small, only a few small leaves. It has a few very small roots, and I have potted it in a mixture of organic coconut fiber, blonde sphagnum moss, a little...

I bought this Nep rafflesiana last christmas through another grower and received a complete mess. I had a gift certificate and used it to expand a bit but needless to say the packaging job was horrible. A Sarr was not in dormancy and falling out of the pot and this nep took a beating. Medium was...

Hi everyone, i joined on here a while ago but lost all my carnivorous plants since (Will start again when soon:) ). My main hobby though is keeping exotic insects and stuff, anyway i have a Malaysian orchid mantis and to make her a nice enclosure i went and bought her an actual orchid for her to...

Hi! I need to thin out my collection of non carnivorous plants to make room for some incoming plants. I am offering plants that are healthy and are well maintained. Here they are: {Anything in color is taken} 1. Titan Arum- very similar to the one i posted on my thread...

I noticed the undeveloped pitcher on it right now seems a little dark(black) on the tip. what could cause this? is it too late for this pitcher? My days temp is 69 F night is 62 F humidity is 100% i've sprayed the terrarium but never watered it Soil/Substrate: Sphagum Moss and Coconut fiber...
