How many of you are already familiar with the concept of vertical gardens? Here's a vertical garden that I took a photo of at Flora Grubb nursery in San Francisco...
Flora Grubb Vertical Garden Succulents by epiphyte78, on Flickr
Flora Grubb is a really neat nursery because it's by far the...
Hey y'all, I'm looking for N. Viking (Mirabilis var. globosa) species and hybrids. I'd be most interested in Viking x amp (red) but I'd definitely consider anything else. I'm also looking for:
* Always looking for clones/plants of tentaculata ***
* ampullaria
* eymae
* glabrata
* gymnamphora
*...
As the title states, I have the following for trade.
Small schizandra (quarter sized)
Immature heli minor
U. Reniformis
I am looking for other helis, nepenthes, and epiphytic utrics.
If interested please make an offer!
Otherwise known as my upcoming adventures with a Harbor Freight Greenhouse. I had a dream the other week about trying to squeeze in a third greenhouse, even going so far as mapping electrical and water in my dream. I woke up and instantly thought that was silly, the easiest would be to just move...
This is my 8'x12' greenhouse that some of you were asking to see. It has a swamp cooler, and reaches a max temp of 78 degrees, with a min of 60 degrees, vents and heating/cooling is all automated. There is an RO filter hooked up to a float valve on that trash can, with a mist system on a...
Hi All!!
I'm a former gardener from Orange County, currently running a small specialty nursery out of my back yard (mostly terrarium plants and bromeliads). I've kept carnivorous plants here and there, mostly some of the larger nepenthes that can live outside in my shade house. I have two...
Hey Terraforums!
I havent posted in a loooong time, so there's some irony that my first posting after this long hiatus is in the orchid section. I've lost a lot of plants recently as I've dropped the ball on obsessing over them the way I use to. But when I move for grad school in August, I...
Utricularia jamesoniana - established plant on treefern slab (for over 1 year)
For those unfamiliar with this species, it is a small epiphytic highland utric with unusual flowers and is in section Orchidioides. It is uncommonly available within the US. This particular clone is from Antioquia...
Utricularia campbelliana - established plant on treefern slab
Several months ago, I snipped a piece with roots & a leaf from my mother plant & placed it on a slab of treefern. Since then, the original leaf faded away and multiple new ones have replaced it - as well as a nice root system.
For...
I don't update this super often so ask me if you have any questions:
Nepenthes:
N. Muluensis x Lowii
N. Ramispina three pure forms: ( 2 B.E. clones and another wild collected from the 70's)
N. "Hopeful Monsters" = merilliana x ?
N. Albomarginata "Camaroon Highlands"
N. "Gentle" = Maxima x...
I've become fascinated with epiphytic Utrics in the short period of time I've been here. Coming from an orchid background, I find them to be quite similar: big flowers, epiphytic in nature, etc. I've been through many threads where they've been tried on TF, cork with moss, or net pots in LFS...
I'm a long-time plant hobbyist, mostly have kept various epiphytic cacti, especially Rhipsalis, but lately I've gotten "into" the primitive plants like Selaginellas and Liverworts and of course, the CP's. My intro to the CP obsession came with me seeing various carnivores occasionally offered...
I used to use these for backgrounds in my dart frog tanks. They are perfect for epiphytic plants and some of the pickier Utrics like U.quelchii and U.campbelliana would do very well on them. They hold moisture far better than tree fern panels without remaining too wet. They stopped making them a...
Bit of a strange question I guess, but I have a rock which is covered with moss and I would like to try growing an epiphytic Utricularia on it. Before doing so though, I would like to make sure that it is insect free, so does anyone have an ideas on how I would achieve this?
Hi all and sorry for the long post! I just figured it would be better to ask 1 big question and introduce myself at the same time than flooding the forum with 23 identical questions :) I hope you can bare with me!
See I've got a big problem. Until recently I was happily...
I've been growing some of these Utrics for approximately 1.5 years (yup - a noob) and have already gone through multiple trials & tribulations. Following some discussions with a grower on another forum (& a few on Terra), we thought it would be a good idea to start a discussion thread on the...
