Instead of making several threads for every season, I'll be posting my photos from Meadowview here. I live close by and volunteer frequently, so this one thread will keep things nice and tidy.
Anyways, we just finished up our volunteer week yesterday. We got a lot accomplished, as you will...
Hello!
A few of you might remember when I started a page that I called "The Sphagnum Photo Page". So, I am looking for photos of Sphagnum in cultivation, or in the wild.
Here's what I originally posted. :P...
Hi, Does anyone here grow U.simmonsii? I'm looking for some cultivation tips, primarily advise on water level, but any other information would be of interest too.
I am working with a researcher at the University of Arizona who is studying carnivorous plant genomes. He is particularly interested in plants with the smallest genomes and Genlisea aurea and margaretae are at the top of his list. It is difficult to obtain much test material because these plants...
Beyond Beginner's Information: Insider's Insight
This was originally written for my friend whose interest is piqued in Carnivorous Plants. I've worked very hard on this, but I don't doubt that perhaps I've forgotten anything meaningful or gotten something wrong. Please correct, or add other...
Disa uniflora comes from south africa, and is commonly seen growing with Drosera capensis and other sundews in its natural habitat. They prefer purified water, but can tolerate a low dose of fertilizer.
In the wild, they are found growing in pure sphagnum, and in cultivation, a 60%...
Hi all, my name is Yuri and i'm an Italian CP grower! I grow carnivorous plants since 3 years, and I'm "specialized" in leucophylla (and its hybrids) and VFTs.
I got inscribed to this forum in order to learn day by day something new about cp cultivation!
I hope to find many good grower with...
S. minor var. minor Ware Co, GA roadside ditch. These plants were fairly common-if I had to guess, I'd say there were at least 10,000 in the area:

S. minor var. minor Ware Co, GA. There were amazing red clones too:

i found this on etsy: http://www.etsy.com/listing/82082385/glow-in-the-dark-mushroom-growing
its a cultivation kit for mushrooms that glow! never seen anything like it before and figured some people might wanna see this
I received this Pinguicula species from CZ Plants, back in June, 2008 labeled as P. kondoi.
But it seems that the real P. kondoi, according to some experts, is not really in cultivation, and what is labeled as such is actually P. reticulata.
Either way, this is still a very nice mexi-ping...
My N. burkei just revealed its first flower spike. This is the true Borneo Exotics burkei from Halcon (BE-3254), and I'm hoping some other folks have mature ones in cultivation at or near the flowering stage. If not, I'm thinking this plant could also make some killer hybrids.
I only have...
Hi all and sorry for the long post! I just figured it would be better to ask 1 big question and introduce myself at the same time than flooding the forum with 23 identical questions :) I hope you can bare with me!
See I've got a big problem. Until recently I was happily...
I've been reading a while that in cultivation, many dewy pines die after flowering. Why is this? Is monocarpy common in this species in the wild as well? The two main reasons I've heard of is that the plant simply exhausts itself while flowering and setting seed, or that watering it after it has...
Not that it was ever lost in the wild or cultivation, but N. ventricosa because of its common status in cultivation is oftentimes overlooked by CP hobbyists.
It is a great beginner's plant, but once the next great Nepenthes species or hybrid is added to the collection, N. ventricosa can end...
I know there is a purple nepenthes reinwardtiana out there somewhere; just as there are black truncata's and dark purple N. sanguinea's. But I'm not sure it's in cultivation :grin:
The question is, has anyone ever seen a purple reinwardtiana?
Has anyone ever had a deep purple reinwardtiana...
Hello everyone! I wanted to ask some information about the St. Leucophylla var. "Alba" and S. Leucophylla "Bon Bon" ..
So I've always wondered one thing that I found on the Internet, even in the various topics ..
Given that so white varieties have been introduced into cultivation by Donald...
Well, I'm stumped so far. One of my ventricosas' leaves have started to droop, they used to be very firm and healthy, now they seem weak and floppy/ by comparison - my cultivation techniques haven't changed, except the extremely cold air coming off my ac 24/7 This is clearly not normal. I...
Hey everyone!
I thought it would be interesting to add a "Sphagnum moss photo page" to my website. Mainly just sphagnum in cultivation. I was originally going to only post photos of my sphagnum moss, but it's not the best example of how it can really be grown in cultivation.
Here's what I...
Three years ago, I picked up a sundew at Lowes on impulse. I ended up growing it in a terrarium with fir bark in the bottom (I know better now, don't worry.). Earlier this year, I decided to make a much more informed attempt at growing carnivorous plants, and transferred them into plastic pots...
