    How to rejuvenate an aging Nepenthes?

    Around 15 years ago, probably, I gave my mom a rooted cutting of a seedling plant of Nepenthes burkei x truncata (purchased in 1995 as a seedling from Tom Kahl). The plant grew and pitchered beautifully in my mom's kitchen window for years--a North-facing window in the SF Bay Area. The...

    Moss vs. Heliamphora

    So is this a concern? I cut it back to this. I have to do this every few weeks. It isn't a big deal, I just worry I will accidently cut off a trap. I am tempted to remove all of the moss to help avoid such a tragedy.

    Begonia bogneri: terrarium plant, miniature, epiphyte, grows in sphagnum

    Begonia bogneri is a very odd Begonia, as its leaves are grasslike, and it's a miniature. It's a plant from a warm, wet part of Madagascar. It's tuberous, although it does not have an obligate dormancy, grown indoors. For whatever reason, it's gotten a reputation as a difficult plant, tends...

    Propagation of Passiflora foetida by cuttings and seeds

    Passiflora foetida has intricate sticky bracts around its buds, flowers, and fruits. It can definitely trap insects there, but whether it fits the standard definitions of carnivory is dubious. Some claim yes, but it seems that the consensus at the moment is that Passiflora foetida is not...

    Struggling d. filiformis and question

    I recently moved and I don't think my d. filiformis is handling it all that well. Any suggestions on how to help it out? I cut off all that was brown (it's my understanding that brown parts down photosynthesize), did that help or not matter? Also, what are the nodules near the base of plant...

    Shipping Sundews With Flower Stalks

    Every once in awhile a hobbyist sends me a sundew that has a flower stalk. Shipped sundews almost always arrive in shock and they lose their dew. Flower stalks always stall for me and I end up having to cut them off, in disappointment. Do stalks ever survive shipping and continue growth?
