    Stem cutting making uppers?

    Last fall i chopped up the vine of my N Ramispina. It had been making uppers for months but it never flowered. The cutting I made from the tip is now putting out pitchers which I think are intermediate/uppers. Is this normal that a cutting would develop upper pitchers right away? Here is the...

    Which light to supplement my kitchen window?

    I have a few nepenthes truncatas growing on my kitchen window. The light in there is pretty good as there's another window that shines in, the over head flourecents and the window itself. But I will want to get something else directly over the window above my sink. I have two pots hanging...

    My other hobby: Air guns

    My parents never let me have one when i was a kid. i think that explains a lot. these are all heavily modified crosman air pistols. Either from DIY mods or after-market parts purchased from ebay and members of some airgun forums i belong to, or directly from the crosman company. left to...

    Fertilizing Seeds

    I've read two things... Seeds are extremely sensitive and should not be fertilized, and fertilizing seeds can help them... What's the deal with this? I have MaxSea fertilizer and I mix 3/4tsp with a gallon of water (a bit less than that proportion because I had to calculate that into my 22oz...

    Can I water/humidity proog a fluorescent light fixture?

    So after about a week of running my grow rack with it zipped up and high humidity, one of the light fixtures has been having trouble coming on in the morning, which I think might be due to the water corroding it or something related. I just use 2 2-bulb, 2-foot fluorescent fixtures from Lowe's...

    D. madagascariensis

    When I first got this plant a year ago it shot up then promptly fell over under its own weight and grew along the ground for awhile to about 10" before dying. I was distraught and puzzled as to why a plant would evolve in such a seemingly foolish way. To my guarded delight, before it died out...

    Ibicella 2011

    Hey everyone. I was able to finally grow Ibicella this season. I have tried growing it since 2009, but never got established plants (most likely due to using old seed leading to very low germination rates). Although I got plants to grow, set fruit, and produce seed this year, I was not as...

    Plants are appreciating the new highland set-up

    Here is my new-ish highland set up: It was designed by me, but my dad built it for me... :P (What a great dad :D ) It is a tube thing with a fan on the end of it, and an opening for the ultrasonic humidifier. Pretty simple, but also pretty effective. I only keep it on at night, and the plants...

    How to take care of a new heli division

    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...

    FT: Cephalotus HG for typical

    I'm interested in increasing the genetic pool of Cephs that I grow for potential future breeding experiments. For trade, I have several small, robust clones of Cephalotus 'Hummer's Giant'**.

    Hurricane proofing my bog?

    Since the eye of Hurricane Irene is going to be directly over us. (South Jersey) I have a 55gallon bog in my backyard and we have been getting a good amount of rain pretty much every week, it is pretty saturated already. The hurricane is supposed to be bringing about a foot of rain and heavy...
