Hello, I have been a member here for a short while, but would like to introduce myself a little further. I have been a professional horticulturist for about 20 years off and on, and currently serve as a horticulturist as Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in Richmond, VA. I have been working...

Has anyone gotten this plant to successfully grow in cultivation? It's one of a few that I'd really like to grow, but have killed enough that I've stopped trying for the time being.

Hello everyone, Exotica Plants recently introduced a new Nepenthes species into cultivation, one which is currently in the process of being described as Nepenthes tenuidon. It is a highland plant from the Philippines and seems to be closely related to N. ventricosa and N. sibuyanensis. All the...

Given that it is an annual/short lived perennial, does anyone have experience growing P. lusitanica indoors under lights? I imagine they might do alright as long as seed can be obtained before they die off.

I was just curious about ANPA B, there doesn't seem to be much info about it on the web. Just a few pictures and references to it existing on pinguicula.org, I don't see much mention of B on forums or any photos posted elsewhere. There's enough of A, C, and D but that's about all. Is this a...

The International Nepenthes Grex Registry (INGR) was an idea conceived and developed in an international forum conference on the internet forum www.pitcherplants.proboards.com in the later months of 2006. In August of the next year the proposal was presented at the Sarawak Nepenthes Summit 2007...

I'm going to use this thread to photodocument my breeding program of D. capensis. I have been working on this species for 5 years. My original goal was to mash all of the genetic diversity I could into a handful of plants, and then see what came out of it. I feel that D. capensis is a great...

After speaking with several members here among other growers, I have realized that there are more misconceptions about successfully growing these plants than I had thought. I wrote the care sheet below last year for the NECPS members to use as a guide for their cultivation and I hope that it can...

Hello everyone, I'm looking for verified varieties of capensis seeds (or live plant, seeds preferred). I'd be willing to pay reasonably for the following varieties/locality/genre. Drosera capensis-- Paul Debbert Munich Germany "Giant". Drosera capensis-- Bain's Kloof Drosera capensis-- Vogelgat...

Last Saturday I was gifted a D. murfetii, a new species from Tasmania. Being so new to cultivation there is not much I can find about caring for it, although they do grow alongside D. arcturi in the wild so I will follow grow guides for them. Wish me luck. Has anyone here had any experience with...

I trimmed my Disterigma rimbachii a few months ago and the cuttings all took, so it's time to get rid of a few. I'm offering here one rooted cutting. It's about 5" high and, as you can see, has new growth. Shipping is on me, so this is totally free! Offer open to continental US. Winner will be...

Hello everyone, lately Ive been interested in orchids and their various cultivation techniques. It is also a bit difficult to find info on the various diseases and viruses these plants are susceptible to. I was hoping through this thread, we may be able to build a small guide/identification...

Earlier in the summer I did a giveaway for some seeds of this tree. Relatively rare in cultivation and only known outside of Mexico for a few decades. I recently visited my friend with this tree and brought back a number of fresh seeds, and have about 70 to parse out to interested members...

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...

Hello to all! I am a brazilian biologist trying to finish my Doctoral thesis on carnívorous plants of Paraná State, southern Brazil. My main interests are cultivation, ecology, taxonomy and conservation of Drosera, Genlisea, Utricularia and Heliamphora. I hope I 'll find nice friends here! I...

I was considering making the topic of my senior project the cultivation of carnivorous plants from seed, in which I would measure how light, humidity, soil makeup and moisture, and various fungicides and pesticides impact the growth and germination success of various carnivorous plants. What do...

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...

I've been anxiously awaiting the release of this 3 volume set of books since I heard they were coming out. Last week I broke down and ordered the set. When I got home today, the books were here waiting for me. I knew these were going to be good but, I had no idea they would be THIS good ! I've...
