cut

I have a N. red leopard that seems to put all of it's energy into producing basals rather than pitchers. Over the years I have cut and donated many basals off of it. This summer I have cut three basals off leaving only the main plant, a two inch basal and a green nub. Well now the two incher...

Just curious is anyone either has an extra one or willing to cut theirs. Maybe we could work out a trade.

Here are Nepenthes lowii seed, harvested in late March 2013. The filter paper packets each contain at least twelve seed and will be shipped, on my dime, via USPS Priority Mail. The offer is only valid within the US. The seeds are fresh, from cultivated plants, though no implied warranty is...

I know it's late in the season, but with the weather beginning to cool off in the Mid-Atlantic US (a great time for shipping, btw), thoughts turn to the greenhouse and ... Holy excrement, how am I going to fit all of my up-potted Sarracenia and their associated extra divisions inside for the...

I have a N. 'Effulgent Koto' (mirabilis x thorelii) for trade it is the main plant from which i took cuttings from in this thread:http://www.terraforums.com/forums/showthread.php?134460-what-do-you-guys-do-when-plants-get-too-tall&highlight= It has pushed out a new growth point since i cut it...

So.. the time has come that I need to trim down my collection.. And the finicky indoor growing stuff needs to be cut back... I've decided to focus down to just some specific groups and tuberous just doesnt fit in with my plans. As these are still actively growing, i'm not shipping them.. And I...

Hi everyone, I thought I'd share my progress with you guys on my most recent (and a few older plants) I decided to do a quick before/after shot of three of my plants. I'm pretty proud of the heli that I managed to keep alive along with the ceph! Adult pitchers on the heli made my week! The...

Otherwise known as my upcoming adventures with a Harbor Freight Greenhouse. I had a dream the other week about trying to squeeze in a third greenhouse, even going so far as mapping electrical and water in my dream. I woke up and instantly thought that was silly, the easiest would be to just move...

So my helis may or may not be happy. They all have a live LFS topping, but are now being buried by the LFS. Not sure if they've stalled, or are just slow to grow. But they all look really healthy. Is it best to not use a live topper for these guys? Or will they eventually pick up the pace and be...

I used to have Nepenthes and Drosera before i moved, and they were very prolific. So i decided to get back in the hobby now with a beautiful specimen of cephalotus follicularis. I got him today, great speciment from drosera gemmae. I repotted it straight away into a bigger pot, taking care not...

I've had these CPs for probably 2 years or so now (maybe more). Soil mix, watering methods, etc are all the same. All plants were Lowe's deathcubes purchased the same time.... So why oh why are these lil VETs still so little? And any way to help them get some size? They did start to...

Harvesting of Heliamphora pollen is one of those things that was very simple once I learned how. Much of the issue came in not knowing when to harvest. When the flower first opens, the anthers are lower than the stigma and perpendicular to the pistil (see image). As the flower matures the...

Okay folks it's that time of year when I'm feeling generous. I can't predict when these feelings come, but when they do I give plants (or basals or seeds or cuttings) away. Shipping is on me. This time it is a basal, will be fresh cut, from a N. Red leopard. I will pick a random number from...

Greetings all, As has been posted to the CP-Listserv, recently (May 30th, 2013) about 1000 Dionaea were stolen from Wilmington, NC's Stanley Rehder Carnivorous Plant Garden. Here is a link to the article: http://www.starnewsonline.com/article/20130530/ARTICLES/130539991?p=1&tc=pg A list...

Hey I had a leaf break on my Filiformis about a month ago so I cut it into 3 1.5-2 inch strips and sat them on moist peat outside in full sun with the rest of my plants. All three have plantlets growing now that are still very tiny. One already has dew!!!! My question is, how long do I need to...

My typical and "Dentate Traps" Venus flytraps both have generated at least one flower stalk with me; the former I cut off. My typical plant began making a SECOND, which I also cut off (which you'd know if you've looked at my Grow List and Eat Counts recently). Both times, only a couple weeks...

Greetings all, I am procrastinating right now and avoiding responsibility for just a few more minutes so I thought I would make a list of some of the carnivorous plants I think are best to start with- a long with some comments. This list is meant to be pretty general and is perhaps USA centric...

So, while my S. leucophylla was coming out of dormancy, I carelessly left it too close to a path. Its tallest emerging pitcher was bent. Now that it has opened, it lies toppled and imperfect, but it is healthy. My question is can I cut this pitcher without damaging the plant greatly to increase...

my Sabre cutting is finally growing and looking good , it has two growth points , ( so it could possibly be cut in two and the upper would be need to be rooted). I am looking for a a few neps in particular . I may hold on to it, as it has been with me for a while and i would like to grow it...

I would like to trade this 18+ inch rafflesiana "typical" cutting. I received it as a rooted cutting with two small shoots. As you can see in the below picture, both shoots have grown into very large plants. Both are growing off older, brown stem. The top growth has made the plant very top heavy...
