dormancy

As you will quickly realize, this title is sarcastic. I am not the average teenager. Instead of being attached to my phone, I'm attached to my hobbies. Whenever people walk into my room, they are stunned and have no idea such things existed. My room is easily recognizable even from outside the...

I'm looking for a good single species to display in the setup below it. The temps for this one will be in the 65-75 range year and will not get any dormancy. I'm wanting to allow for space for flowers so a keep the stalk height in mind. Lighting will be provided by some LEDs I figure, so...

Hey everyone I'm pretty new to carnivorous plants. And I have been searching too clear up overwintering flytraps and saracenia. My main question is whats the lighting requirments.? I live in zone 6 all my other dormant plant's go in the garage that is pretty much dark at all times. Would this be...

I don't grow in a greenhouse per say. Since 90% of my plants are temperate and I live in zone 6b/7, I just use my greenhouse for dormancy; you know, mostly just keeping the windchill off my little darlings. The last couple seasons this has been achieved with a little pop-up greenhouse that has...

As promised.. here's a few pics of my 5gallon bucket U. reneformis 'Big Sister' setup. Top bucket is sandy peat on top of LFS with drainage holes for the roots/bladders, lower bucket is for RO water. This plant just broke dormancy, which took me forever to accomplish. So not much to look at...

Axelrod's CPs Ok new thread, and I'm going to try to confine my questions and stuff to here now that I feel like I might be starting to get the hang of things...a little. Previous threads: http://www.terraforums.com/forums/showthread.php/135461-How-am-I-doing-so-far...

Hi guys Im not very experienced with cephs! In 2011 i buyed a lil tiny 2 leaves cephalotus baby from czplants at 2.99€. Now its a medium plant, with many grow point and many lil plants growing from the base of the mother plant. The plant is now in soft dormancy, do not grow anymore in my heli...

After a long period of non-growth due to shock, my Brocchinia reducta is starting to grow again, my lovely plant loves the sun so I had it in my mother's bedroom in a west facing window and watered the urn, fed it a couple of bugs a month, the plant was growing beautifully, vigorous and quite...

I bought a new Pinguicula today from a local nursey in Berkeley. It's my third Mexican ping. Hopefully I don't kill this one.... Pinguicula moctezumae Here's where it was being grown before I purchased it: On a related note, does anyone know what the leaves they make during dormancy look...

Too bad the flowers aren't larger ... rather nice color Rather surprised the moranensis is still blooming. Was expecting complete dormancy at this point. Aphrodite looks like it is gearing up for another blooming session.

How can I tell if my Sarracenia are dead? I think they're in dormancy right now, but they dried out over the summer with watering only once every few weeks. A few parts were still green and the peat they were in was somewhat moist. The roots were in tact and looked well. I really didn't want...

This is my first winter with D. filiformis 'California Sunset' and I was wondering what I should expect for dormancy. It is outside in an unheated minigreenhouse sitting in a quarter inch or so of water, and most of the leaves have browned and died. The center of the rosette looks a lot like...

Hello all this is my first dormancy with my plants and I've already had some of my sundews go dormant. My question is how much water do the plants Need during the winter? I am in Charlotte NC if that matters and the plants are grown outside. I'm growing VFTs, Sarrs, and some temperate, and...

Hello! I recently just got back into CP's, and got a Venus Fly Trap about two months ago, among others. I realize it is now time for it to go into a dormancy period, but I was wondering if the fridge method was necessary in my case? I live in NorCal, Santa Clara area, and the temperature during...

I'm a graduate student at Cornell University, and I have heard from school faculty and fellow students that there are several areas on and immediately adjacent to campus where Drosera rotundifolia, Sarracenia purpurea v. purpurea, and Pinguicula vulgaris populations are present. I live right...

Hey, I recently scored a nice white-top at a plant sale. I was a little wary of buying a plant like this late-season, right before dormancy, but I went ahead and got it since I knew it came from a good source and I don't know that I'll find any of these locally outside this one bi-annual plant...

My first year with the plant it thrived and this year it clumped like crazy and they all survived this summer. Its getting close to dormancy and I don't think any of the off shoots are going to make it. I thought I was suppose to divide in the spring. Anyways here is a pic, would love some info...

I'm interested in growing some temperate Drosera species and hybrids on the tray method alongside rosetted subtropical varieties, fulfulling their dormancy requirements via. the fridge method. Will temperate varieties "signal" the beginning of dormancy by forming hibernacula in the absence of...

I have some extra sarracenia that need a new home.......these were given to me a little over a year ago so I could get the experience of growing sarracenia without the loss of anything valuable. Far as I know they are NOIDS but the person that gave them to me said there are some good ones in...
