    Kalanchoe 'Pink Butterflies' giveaways and trade

    The giveaway is for one plant each for two people, usual rules. I'll try to do this by noon on Thursday, as I would really like to ship on Friday. Shipping $7 Paypal. That leaves me 3, none of which I want to keep, plus an unrooted one with odd coloration, which is also fair game, but it...

    Seeking ideas for hydroponic Nepenthes growing set-up

    I was hoping someone might have some ideas to help me resolve an issue with growing media. Several months ago, I began growing 4 Nepenthes in 100% perlite hydroponically. The plants are watered 3 times a day for 15 min. each (the minimum time interval on my timer) with nutrient solution. They...

    Is this sun, wind, or temp burn?

    I put my VFT - B52 directly outside a few weeks ago. They get direct east morning sun till high noon. A few days after They started to develop this dark, wilty tissue damage. My initial though was sunburn, but it was also fairly cold (mid 40's), and very windy on my third floor balcony. If it is...

    Homemade LED fixture

    While upgrading my petiolaris terrarium I was confronted with the question of what was I going to do for lighting? This is what I came up with. The components were mostly purchased from Home Depot - egg crate grating, E27 (screw-in type) sockets and standard lamp cord and a plug. In addition the...

    For Trade: Cuttings, Plants, Keiki from my Mom's (non CPs)

    Thread Idea : Seasonal Trade Index / Bazaar

    Lately Ive been noticing that members are updating trade lists and posting about requests in regards to trading. I really enjoy the trading aspect of this forum and sometimes I overlook peoples trades, or theyre just obscure enough for me not to find/notice. Even sometimes members go inactive...

    Agapetes serpens and 'Ludgvan Cross' Beautiful "Blueberries". Trade/Giveaway. Agapetes is a genus of Old World (Asian) blueberries which I believe grow in some of the same areas as highland Nepenthes. I think the center of their range may be slightly North, often into the Himilayan foothills...

    Which plant below is C. 'Eden Black'? Currently, there is an auction on flea bay for a tiny Cephalotus 'Eden Black'. Let's play a little game and see if growers here can guess correctly. One of the three plants in the picture below is a genuine C. 'Eden Black', traceable to the originator...

    Tuberous Drosera

    After speaking with several members here among other growers, I have realized that there are more misconceptions about successfully growing these plants than I had thought. I wrote the care sheet below last year for the NECPS members to use as a guide for their cultivation and I hope that it can...

    Defining Carnivory

    Carnivorous means that something is a "meat eater". It doesn't mean that something kills the animal, or else pure scavengers would not be considered carnivorous. A vulture is a carnivore simply because it eats meat, not because it may on some occasions kill things. Does that make everything a...

    A Plant-Insect Paradise or Nightmare?

    Carnivorous plants began to interest me when I played Sim Earth. In the game, you oversaw the planet's evolution and the evolution of animal varieties from primitive forms into sentient, intelligent ones. Besides Mollusks, Mammals, and other kinds, there was a very unusual one - carniferns...
