death

For some reason I am now finding that the start of autumn is when my plants start to keel over! :( Last week my big nutans giant collapsed along with another tequila! Them today I find my big woody tatei going limp & shrivelled. NOOOOO! Both the nutans & tequila were completely rotten at...

This will be my first time overwintering my CP's as I just began collecting earlier this summer. I haven't repotted anything that I got in a pot because I read the best time to do so is in February/March. Now Heather brought to my attention that my pots might be a bit small for overwintering...

hey folks, I've been away for a super long time, but I usually stroll through and look at stuff every now and again. Having just lost my job, I find myself with an abundance of time, so here's some pictures of my plants 'n such! If you could help me ID them, I'd be grateful... I've always just...

jpappy789's grow rack - recovery mode This is going to be my motivation to put some more work into my plants...because, well, they don't look so good right now. Probably not as bad as I'm going to make it out to be, but I've certainly seen these plants at their best and this isn't it...and I...

i rescued this poor plant from death as it was going to be thrown away, the original leaves were dry and so were the flowers, i took it home and watered it, added 99cent store soil and new green growth sprouted, it was growng fine until the leaves have started to look like this, what can i do...

Hey guys I bought a "dormant" baby sarr from lowes in April in the bug biting plants starter kit. It didnt say what species if Sarr it is though. It's finally putting up some pitchers and I'm thinking it may be some form of S. Rubra but I'm not sure. I know these pics aren't the best but I'd...

I'm not the best photographer, but I try. I don't have the best collection, but it's growing (hehe). I find pictures are a great way to see progress in slow-going things like plants and aquariums. So without adieu, here are my first plants! A death cube from Lowes, a flytap from a local...

After a never ending winter, no spring and late summer it is finally warming up! Here are a few shots taken today of a few of my neglected and in some cases aphid attacked Heli!! H. minor var. pilosa H. hispida. Recovering from Sudden death syndrome & aphids! H. exappendiculata...

Hello all! Unlike most people around the US, with warm, humid conditions from February onward, here in CO the wild fluctuations and dry air have finally allowed some of my plants to start looking presentable. here's some I thought looked alright: A recent addition, S. flava rugelii x oreophila...

Umm...so yeah I saw some white powdery looking splotches on all of the plant in my mini bog. Is it fungus? What should I do? I'll post pics soon.

Unfortunately I don't have many plants to take photos of. Oh well. I'll update this thread periodically whenever something neat happens. A lovely Sarracenia leucophylla 'Tarnok' pitcher that's grown to be over a foot tall. It hasn't quite finished opening yet. <a...

Background..beast in question is a three year old HP Compaq Presario Recent history...CD/DVD burner died, cursor would stop working, needed to be clicked off and on again, screen would not come on when beast was awoken requiring turning off and restarting. Last Friday, beast rebooted for an...

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...

Howdy. Where can I buy just the plain Death Cube that you see at Lowes or Home Depot. I don't want the plant or soil, just the container.

Hey Guys, I have been reading the forum for about a month now and find it very informational. My main hobby started in herptology from the age of six and has blossomed for the past seven years. I keep various species of Rhacodactylus, some Dendrobates, Pacific newts, Leopard geckos, and a pair...

hey guys so four weeks ago i received attenboroughii seeds from cz and one week ago they started germinating. Now currently 17 of 23 seeds have germinated and i want to know from those who have experience growing this species from seeds how do i keep it alive and growing well and how do i...

I have testament to how truly hardy a purp really is. It all started with a death box purp from Lowe's. I took it home, replanted it in a pot and left it be for several years. It thrived without much of my intervention. Then one day about a month ago, my dog dug it up, and I thought it was...

Hi everyone from southern Louisiana. I'm glad to have found this vibrant community of CP growers! My friends giggle at me and my hobby but I've been trying to grow CPs since the age of 13 with my first "death cube" from Lowes/Home Depot. Years later I picked the hobby back up and with some...

Hey everyone as some of you may know i reside in michigan, but am getting a new assignment in Massachusetts! To start a little bit about me. I was an extensive collector and grower of cacti, rare tropicals, CP's and orchids but sadly my apartment lost power last winter and froze everything to...
