cut

In January, my Utricularia chrysantha began to flower. However, since the container I was growing them in was too short, the flowers hit the lid and began growing sideways without flowering. In March, I transplanted them to a much taller container and the stalks began to grow upright. They still...

While upgrading my petiolaris terrarium I was confronted with the question of what was I going to do for lighting? This is what I came up with. The components were mostly purchased from Home Depot - egg crate grating, E27 (screw-in type) sockets and standard lamp cord and a plug. In addition the...

Last year I decided to transfer many of my Arisaema from pots to the garden. To facilitate drainage I took some wide tubs and cut the bottoms out, sank the bases a couple of inches in the garden soil and top filled, so giving some small raised beds. This is the first of the species to show and...

I'm a returning CP enthusiast trying to get back into the hobby. Luckily, Memphis is a great city to grow Sarrs and other temperate CPs. I look forward to reading and learning the vast amounts of information that you vet growers generously post on these forums. I also got back into the hobby...

Drosera trinervia Stormsvlei Kloof, RSA seed - at least 25 seeds. This winter growing South African Sundew is one of the easiest to cultivate of the winter growers. It has the distinction of being the widest ranging of all the South African Drosera species. I find the seeds fairly easy to...

Hi everyone i'm pretty new to the forum. i used to have about 20 nepenthes but i went away and lost most of them now i only have 4. i have a n. Truncata, n. alata, n. miranda and a n. Maxima x Lowii. The have been going downhill lately especially my alata. I was wondering if anyone could give me...

Up for auction is a set of 5 Begonias: B. brevirimosa, B. luxurians, B. bogneri, B. herbacea and B. sizemoreae. Most are small and suitable for growing in terrariums; B. bogneri and B. herbacea are epiphytes. The huge exception is Begonia luxurians, which I grow outside, and which gets over 10...

and now for something completely different: The "penis cactus" :-)) 1 cutting of each. The cutting of the long clone is probably 8" or more. The cutting of the clumping form is one "branch" section Both cuttings have the cut area callused and are ready for planting THESE ARE NOT FOR HUMAN...

Up for auction is a couple feet off the top of this N. khasiana x viking*. I received it a couple years ago from another grower, and it's proceeded to take over my livingroom. I've gotten rid of numerous basals, but it's time for the top of it to get the chop. It's the one taking over the...

My small Drosophyllum lusitanicum already start flowering........shall I cut the flower...?

Hey guys, hoping some experiences Nepenthes growers can settle something for us! As everyone knows, lower internode buds grow into plants with normal, lower pitchers. But what we're not sure of are the upper internode buds. We've heard some people say they'll only ever grow upper pitchers, so...

All - It's time to cut back the old ventrata. Instead of trashing the cuttings, I wanted to see if anyone was interested in taking a few. It's a great hybrid to practice your rooting technique on. All I'm asking for is you pay shipping ($6.50). It is still cold in my area (NH) and some other...

My Passiflora 'Preciosa' desperately needs to be cut back--I plan to do it Sunday. If anyone can get any use out of some of the cuttings, I can send about 10 nodes (or possibly more, depending on interest). 2 nodes is enough to root a new plant, and they root in water. There's a good chance...

This is the second version of a solar water pump in a tray for Darlingtonia. The first version which I placed in an existing planted tray doesn't really allow for a large enough flow through. So this time I have cut off the bottoms of some slated trays (see photo) at 1" and inverted them to...

How do you guys cut your egg crate to fit your tank dimensions? The tank is a 20 long, so 30LX12HX12D. This is the specific product I have in mind...

Last year I acquired a tenuis cutting in a trade with a fellow member. I cut it into two separate cuttings. The growth tip fell victim to the graveyard and the other cutting I made seemed to be going the same way. After seeing the top growth point swell I figured it would be good to go. However...

I was doing a little cleaning and repotting my Sarracenia and saw this. Last year when I noticed this growing I thought it was grass so I cut it but it keeps coming back. It looks like onions. I don't know what it is and if it's bad. Any ideas??

Cuttings giveaway: Brugmansia "Suncrest vulsa". Restricted by climate/conditions I urgently need to cut back my Brugmansia, and I will not be able to use all the cuttings. So I'd like to offer some of the cuttings in a giveaway. There are several problems with this. One is that the plant is...

I should start out by warning that this contest will probably take a couple months to resolve itself. The plants are slow growing in my conditions. I bought a Monstera deliciosa albovariegata at a sale 3 or so years ago at a San Francisco Botanical Garden plant sale. It was a nice looking...

This is sort of a redo of a post I had from about a month ago: http://www.terraforums.com/forums/showthread.php/138143-Dracula-vampira-Seeks-Fanged-Nepenthes-Companion-Offers-Division-of-Self?highlight=kahl I showed a friend who does not grow Nepenthes a photo of Nepenthes bicalcarata and he...
