death

Not too good a winter so far with a mix of young and old Heli collapsing quickly over night. Lost my two H. purpurascens, a younger H. exappendiculata went today. And a couple of H. hispida & H. pulchella a week or so back. With more to follow I expect! Typical symtoms are of pitcher growth...

Hi Everyone, I wanted to get some opinions on what I should do with this guy. I recieved this nepenthes from someone and it was on the brink of death. Seems like it was due to very hot and humid conditions with no airflow. I also suspect the soil might not have been the best either. I did...

I was getting something and noticed the display. To my surprise out of all ailing flytraps sat a S. purp so I said what they hey and talked to the cashier asking if i could get a discount for the plants condition and she knocked it down to 0.50. I went to get some more and when I came back I...

This thing popped up in the pot of one of my Sarracenia Alatas this summer. I plucked it up, brought it in, and placed it next to one of my D. Binatas. After sprinkling some food on it periodically throughout the summer, the thing came back from what looked like near death to a somewhat...

Hello from the Great White North... I've just received about 100 D. regia seeds from a supplier in SA (rhymes with GilverMill) and assuming they are indeed viable, this will be the second time for me germinating D. regia.. If I am successful germinating, the majority of the plants will...

Started with CP's around 3-4 years ago.Had real nice grow list going but the summer got too hot and dry here and killed off most of them.Few of the plants survived,lost all vft's,and all nepenthes,leaving me with few sarracenia and few drosera species.I have recently restarted my growing and Ive...

A month or so ago, about half of the 10 Drosera Scorpioides plants in my pot started dying although the other 5 looked totally healthy. Then, just recently, the last few started dying back. Is there any particular cause of death that anyone can find? All of my other pygmies are doing great and...

For those tall boy pots that don't like to stand upright. Kinda makes my sundews look small again.. thanks again Mark. D. ascendens communal pot

I got up, went to look at my nep (which as some people know i salvaged from the brink of death last year, and got a killer deal in the process.) and i spotted the start of a flower. Im excited, as in the last year it has gone from almost dead, to pitchering like none other, and now finally has a...

Today might as well have been Christmas for me! Just about everything showed up all at once! Packaging: First, my original VFT (death cube style) My new one, so much bigger and healthier! Good sized traps Next, my new Sarracenias, left to right (S. Judith Hindle, S. Rubra, and S...

Hi There, Just up the street from me, a half mile or so is a place called What's Brewing. They moved in perhaps a decade ago and have been in operation ever since. I like to get coffee from them as it was usually roasted that day or within the last two to three. Hearing that it is possible...

A shimmering trail traces the final stages in the life of a slug that obviously wasn't wearing enough sun block nor listening to his dermatologist's advice to limit summertime sun exposure, which apparently can cause skin damage or in more extreme cases... ...Death! :-D dvg

It is coming along nicely and was built entirely off the generosity of collectors. I have a few free spots for some sarrs and would like to get some more ground dwelling temperate sundews; (namely rotundafolia) to fortify the ground defenses and this thing will be right. When the time comes I...

as some of you might have known, I had the opportunity to go to South Sudan for 7 days with an evangelical missions emphasis at the end of April and at the request of others, I would like to share a little bit of what we did there... A brief background, South Sudan gained independence from the...

Thought this would make an interesting topic to start. We are all mortal here and have made our fair share of mistakes when it comes to our dearly beloved carnivorous plants. This idea came to mind a few nights ago in the chat box. Without further ado, my dumbest thing I have ever done to a...

only made 2 so far and some seed pods that i have cross pollinated and im waiting for the seeds i pollinate them by completely removing the anthers with tweezers from both flowers, then washout both flowers with distilled water and dab them with a tiny twisted up napkin to soak up the water...

Hey guys, I don't buy new plants often, since space for me is pretty limited, but I did just order a N. sibuyanensis. It's one I've wanted for a while now, and I was very excited when it showed up! To be honest, though, I'm a bit disappointed in the condition it came in. I'm sure I can...

In the Chatbox, I was told that 85F is too high for most highlanders. That became apparent to me when it got into the mid eighties. The pitchers on my N. boschiana x mira and my N. jacquelineae wilted. All of the other highlanders are as normal. Just curious about what highland species can...
