death

Hello all. I am about a little over a year into this hobby. It all started with a lowly Dionaea in a death cube. One day as I was wandering the local hardware store I came across their rack of doomed CP's, on a whim I purchased a nice looking VFT. Being the obsessive researcher I am I...

So here in California we have had pretty good weather for about a month now but I finally just got around to taking pics of my plants outside today.. Enjoy and yay for spring. First the mini bog of random sarracenias S. Purpurea S. minor x minor 'Giant' Hood close up S. psittacina x...

just a copy and paste from another forum for future ref... Hello, This Heliamphora disease is caused by a phytopathogenic fungus (which I was able to identify during my molecular studies of Heliamphora by chance), which infects the vascular tissue of the centre of the plant, and can kill a...

Hello all, In taking pictures of my lovely N. spectabilis x aristolochioides for a thread I created last night, I noticed some red spots on its leaves. Here's a pic that shows them better: I've read that red spots can be a sign of three things: 1) too much light 2) viral infection 3) crappy...

So I've been growing a Desmodium gyrans or Telegraph plant for a number of months so far. At first my lighting issues kept it from being very happy, because I didn't know how to provide it with bright enough lighting seeing as Winter was in full effect. Then, I heard it needed a dry dormancy...

I've never seen any carnivorous plants outside of death cubes/tubes here in Colorado, so I was rather excited when I walked into one of our local nurseries today and saw this: Of course, I went home with one. Now I gotta figure out where the heck I'm going to put it. But here's a few...

It had been a really long day, I'll admit that I was probably in a foul mood. I decided to try and go on the patio to watch my plants and unwind, so I wouldn't take the stress of the day out on my family. I sat, watching my water tray, paying particular attention to my Dionaea, hoping that some...

So of course, Nepenthes are my first love... and continue to be so. There's just something about a vine that I love. I never liked Heliamphora until I got a few and then I warmed to them a bit. They're still not the love of my life though :-)) Now Cephalotus - mine sat admired but somewhat...

I live pretty far up north and temps are still way too cold to bring temperate plants outside, but I checked on them just the other day and they're ALL awake... The ones that didn't wake up much earlier and are now dead from fungus gnats that must have over wintered with them, lack of light, and...

Hi all, I'm waiting on some C. follicularis seeds to germinate and I'm trying to figure out how I should water them to avoid the infamous Cephalotus sp. sudden death syndrome. So far I've eliminated the typical tray method as well as any other methods that leave the roots soaked for prolonged...

So I finally got around to snapping some photos today of my small setup and thought I'd share them with all of you! Criticisms or advice is appreciated as always! My Whole Setup: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hugh-jass/5426913078/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/hugh-jass/5426913500/ My Mixed Sarr...

How does one get rid of soft brown scale on a Sarracenia? Mine is a S. purpurea. I know they are sensitive to contamination so I'm afraid to try a spray or a systemic insecticide. On my non-carnivores, I have had good luck with fish emulsion, but I am pretty sure I don't want to spray that on...

So I am currently awaiting the delivery of an unrooted N. x Miranda from a generous member of this forum. I've never planted a basal before (except when one accidentally broke off rom a death cube and is thriving now). From the research I've done I currently have a pot of 2:1 LFS to Perlite...
