death

So I know the whole Death Cubes/Lowes/HD plants have been discussed to death, but what I could not find was an ID on what the Botanical Wonders Nepenthes labelled ventricosa actually turned out to be. Does anyone have one they purchased from the big clear plastic boxes they ship in now that...

TF, I just wanted to share a pic of my VFT's covered completely with water. This happens out in nature so I figure I should do the same taking into account they are growing in a big container having closet 2ft of soil below. The chances of my plants rotting are very unlikely. I also met with...

Good afternoon y'all Lately, my new Nepenthes thorelli X TM "8 of clubs" has been showing some very disturbing signs which I immediately recognized. For those that do not know, a few months ago I moved my vent X TM into a cooler environment to grow faster. The plant didn't like the drastic...

Another form of H. neblinae I grew has followed the earlier one by going the same way. :( Older pitchers suddenly curling and going soft. Followed in due course by any new or emerging pitchers going limp. The usual explaination for this "Sudden Death" in Heli is high tempertures but this is...

Hello Terraforums, In my time at my university, I have watched the bog garden in the school's conservatory dwindle in health and fade. As an underclassmen, all I could do is try to weed sadly, or maybe pick off a few mealy bugs. At the same time, I have been fortunate enough to have been...

hi all In the last year something bad going over my plants,i had a snail attack on my collection and it seem that i cant get rid of them .I always find new small snails in my media.tried few things but nothing helps.I lost alot of plants due 2 root rot ( aristo ,inermis,jacquelinae...)all were...

It has had to cross somebody else's mind too... What would happen if you drank digestive juices of nepenthes or sarracenia or cephalotus or heliomorpha? Would your insides be digested, leading to internal bleeding, then death? What would happen? On Science Daily I read an article about how...

I'm tired of utrics invading my growspaces, so I'm dedicating old aquariums I found in the past at garage sales and so on, to each type I have. That'll be 5, hehe. U. Sandersonii, Longifolia, Reniformis, Livida and Tricolor. U. Sandersonii is in both my fishbowl and a new tank, and is pretty...

As mentioned in my post in the sundew section I am doing some research involving Sarracenia. My partner and I are going to be using Oryzalin (Surflan), Colchicine, and cobalt-60 radiation to try and induce mutations in ten species of Sarracenia. We will be using S. alabamensis ssp. wherryi, S...

Hey guys, Note: all of my dionaea are indormancy so i amnot sure if they all made it since some were small, but I will update this as needed. they should have all made it through well. IF YOU WANT TO GET A REGIA TYPICAL OR BIG EASY FROM ME A GOOD WAY IS TO GET ME A BUNCH OF THESE DIONAEA...

So my girlfriend, who loves Orchids, likes utric flowers too and I'm looking to get an easy-to-care-for utric for her. Something that could be thrown on a windowsill with minimal fuss would be perfect. U. Longifolia was suggested but other recommendations are welcome! As for what I can trade...

I'll start with the most obvious.. empty milk jugs for RO water. Beanie Baby cubes & Lowe's death cubes. All drilled out and ready for use. They make great clear pots for cephs and regia, which have really long roots. Also going to be converting my tuberous dew collection to these pots...

I got about 20 of these death cubes for free from a family member. I'm going to drill drainage holes into the majority of them, for use as tall clear pots for the cephs, tuberous dews, and regias. BUT, I'm keeping a few of them as small terrariums for stuff that does well in these covered...

Has anyone used diatomaceous earth with their carnivorous plants? For anyone unfamiliar, diatomaceous earth is a dust that's not harmful to humans but easily destroys insects' exoskeletons and respiratory systems. I have an issue with gnats and happen to already have some diatomaceous earth for...

Figured some of you would find this interesting: http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/15835017

PIC I thought came out good. H. pulchella Death Trap Peace, Zero

I've been doing a lot of mushroom hunting lately as part of a course I'm taking and wanted to share pics of some of the stuff I've found. These first few are from Point Reyes: The striped ones are Trametes versicolor and the black spheres areAnnulohypoxylon thouarsianum The infamous Amanita...

Aloha everyone, I live in Hawaii. I've only been growing cps for about two months unless you count my failed venus fly traps which died due to my lack of knowledge. I recently received a death cubed D. capensis, and with a new found appreciation and admiration for nature I did my homework...

N spectabilis has been growing like a weed for the past 6 months or so. The plant is still pretty small. About a month or so ago, I noticed that the growth rate was about the same but the size of the new leaves was rapidly decreasing, to the point that they were forming a 'cone' at the tip. The...

First the disclaimer..... There are as many methods as there are growers. Some grow beautiful helis using methods totally opposite from these. It is not my intention to imply that you must follow these recommendations to be successful. I present this guide as what "I"do and what "I" believe...
