Greetings everyone. About a month ago, I got a N. rafflesiana 'gigantea'. I'm just curious if anyone else also has one? Can anyone give me advice for the care of it? This plant is a clone/cutting. For a while, I kept the plant indoors near a southward facing window. Currently, I have it sitting...

I don't have much doubt a large hanging coconut fiber pot will be fine to repot N. miranda into, but I'd feel better clearing it through the Nep-safety filter before proceeding to the task. So evaluate away. Thanx.

I was just curious if anyone has grown nepenthes from seed in the way that orchid seed is sewn? What is the agar composition? Natural versus chemical? Addition of coconut water? Any experience? Michael

Do you like the taste of coconut?  Most people either like or they don’t like it, and few are neutral about it.  This item is only for cocoholics, of which I am one.  I’m lucky to live in Hawaii, where various kinds of coconut products are easy to get.  Up for bid is a collection of three of my...

using a bottom layer of clay pellets, then a screen, then a mixture of coconut fibers and tree fern fibers. the bottom, being water, is held away from the dirt by a rock/silicone wall. the water has small fish. the filter output is connected to a hose and makes a waterfall/stream. the wood is...

I have been increasingly impressed by the properties of coconut husk chips. Does anyone have a secret cheap source for large quantities? Oak Hill Gardens seems to have the best deal, but just thought i'd check since it's time to resupply... Another related question: what size do you use, the...

Just curious if anyone uses GrowCoir Coconut Fiber sold here on pft? I would like to here your results with this product, because I was interested in buying some.

Got this from another forum and I thought it was pretty cool. Remember to watch the vidios (both the coconut and the seaweed imitations) http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn7194 Zongyi

Hello All. Lately ive become more aware of Ecological living and mainly on the main point of it i think the locality of what you use. I saw allready few people talking here befor on subtitutes for wild collected Sphagnum peat moss. And i was wondering what could i use instead of it wich i can...

I was repotting a couple of nep's today that I got from a friend. They were potted in pure sphagnum, and when I pulled them out, I was thrilled to see a nice rotten mess! I wouldn't say the roots were rotten so much as the moss was, so I removed almost all the moss, unfortunately along with...

I've bought some GrowCoir Coconut Fiber and I have two VFTs in it now. They seem to be doing fine. There is also nothing else in there, just the fiber. Do you guys think it will work? Is it a good medium? As of now, it seems to be, but we'll see. I want to know your thoughts. For those of you...

Has anyone out there tried any "Coir" products (aka coconut fiber) for growing their CPs?  Everything I've read about it suggests it should be ideal.

I was thinking of making a VFt tray. Basically, I'd have to find a rectangle shaped plastic pot or something like that. Then, I would plant VFt's in it. Some questions. Has anyone used coconut fiber for VFTs? How'd it go? Would it be feasible to do this?(the plant is for thme to totally fill...

I was inspecting my D. adelae pot(and gawking at all the plantlets) when I noticed what appeared to be a baby sundew coming out of on of the holes in the pots bottom! I turned it over, and it turns out their are some roots wandering around on the underside. So should I repot the plant? Is...
