epiphytic

I am trying to find out if any of the Caribbean epiphytic Pinguicula (casabatonia, lingicola, etc.) are in cultivation anywhere. If you have any information I would greatly appreciate it if you could contact me via email. Thank you

I understand terrestrial and have a pretty good idea what todo with them. But what is the difference between that and epiphytic and how are they different in cultivation? Also, what does orchidoides mean? I read the terms on the forums and in the Pietropaolo book, but there is no denotation.

I have just got two self fruiting cultivars of this orchid cactus which create enormous night opening flowers up to 16" in diameter and create large red spike covered edible fruits (in time - mine are about 10" long only). Is there anyone else here growing these? Since they are epiphytic from...

I don't know how familiar you folks are with using slabs of cork bark to mount and grow epiphytic plants but it's often covered in all sorts of neat lichens and stuff, usually long dead.  But I just got a few large slabs from a new shipment at the orchid shop (so new I was digging out of the...

Hello fellow CPers. My Nepenthes hamata suffered a week-long drought over the summer last year. This caused the leaves to grow smaller, yet as strong as the previous ones. It's growth of rate wasn't as impressive as when I had first received it, and the pitchers' size had obviously been greatly...

my wife is getting a bit torqued at all my plants, truth be told ive probably gor more irons in the fire than i probably should. so come this spring when the weather warms up im going to condence my collection and to focus my personal collection on my Neps and epiphytic Utrics. keep around my...

Here is my growlist. its going to get MUCH bigger now that i have a big shelf! Aldrovanda ------ Cephalotus ------ Darlingtonia Typical Dioneae ------ Drosera Tropical aliciae Tuberous -------- Temperate intermedia 'California Sunset' filiformis Pygmy Heliamphora ------ Nepenthes...

im planing to get a utricularia reinformis, is it a good choice for a beginer epiphytic in utricularia? What are its care requirements and can dormacy be skiped? Does anyone have pictures? How often does it flower? thank you

Pyrrosia nummularifolium Microgramma percussa

I just purchased a bag of Schultz Orchid Mix. Here is a website with some of the information about it: http://www.schultz.com/ProductCategories/Soilsamendments/OrchidMix/ Will this work for my neps? I have a rafflesiana (Giagantea), ventricosa, and ventrata. Any suggestions? The bag states...

here is the latest pic of my N. bongso. not the greatest shot but it was produced in the cramped confines of a 10 gal tank so the pitcher was twisted under a leaf here is the N. ephippiata i recently got from Tony its in a 3.5 inch pot for size referance largest pitcher, my fingers for...

The Marsh Pitcher Plants (Heliamphora sp.) By Alex Dietrick From the sandstone plateaus in Venezuela and Guyana, come a fascinating genus of carnivorous plants. South America’s only pitcher plant, Heliamphora is very primitive, but elegant in design. The trap seems to consist of...

im setting up some dart frog tanks and am looking for ideas for small/mini orchids that will do well in there. they need to stand being constantly moist. warm year round and not need the best air circulation. the back of atleast one tank will be tree fern panels sp i figured some mini orchids...

EDIT QUOTE Here are pics of my indoor setup. On top, mostly lowlanders, a couple orchids and ferns, and a D. adelae. Top shelf, left side... Top shelf, right side... Middle shelf...All the Nep cuttings are here, and a N. thorelii, and some more ferns. The waterfall on the left is an...

Last year a bunch of us received pinches / plugs of epiphytic Utrics. I'll go out on a limb, here, and say that we all had moss intertwined with them. I didn't know what they all did, but I lived with it. Recently, a friend asked me how to get rid of the moss. I really don't have a foolproof...

Is there already a thread like this if so sorry! I am about halfway through a very detailed vivarium though I plan on maybe a single tree frog in there. It is a 48gln , 1/4 octagon. All things Epi(phytic). I have a couple plants in it but I am waiting for most in trades. I've begun "mossing"...

I am starting with my chamber and I need a Nep that is true lowland (tank is 75-80deg F.and 85%+humidity at all times with frequent short bursts of rain) I really would like it to be Epi but not a must. Also I don't want bical, something else it must be. It also can't have monster pitchers space...

Hey folks, Ok, I know this isn't exactly CPs but I like this place so I thought I'd throw it out there. Theres a new Society/Magazine called Epi-Flora published out of The Netherlands by EPRIC (Epiphytic Plant Research Information Center). I am going to be the distributor for the Western...

im already doing my planning for this next summer. im looking to expand my Utric collection even more, they take up much less room than Neps. i have found most of the common species that have caught my eye and will be getting more but those are fairly easy to find. i have scanned growlists of...

i am curious as to what species are epiphytic in nature. im growing U. nephrophylla, U. asplundii, and U. reniformis as what would consider epiphytes. a layer of LFS over a layer of quick draining medium(orchid bark and perlite). basically simulates a layer of moss growing on a tree branch i...
