fern

I mentioned in the thread on Lecanopteris sinuosa that I've had great (preliminary) success with spores from the American Fern Society (AFS) spore exchange. The AFS is cheap to join ($15) and spores packets are nominal (50 cents). Moreover, the available species can be viewed by all...

I'd like to expand my currently almost non-existent Nepenthes collection. I have plenty to trade, many of them considered choice plants. They are just not CPs. I'm interested in Nepenthes plants, seedlings or cuttings (rooted or unrooted). I have some experience rooting cuttings. I'm most...

I have finally had the time to get around to my photo collection and decided that I should post a few on here. Hope you enjoy. I apologize in advance for any bad quality photos, as what im currently using has the photo capability of a potato. Some of these images may be a bit dated...

I've started my first ever planted tank. I recently got rid of my 55 gallon, so this is just made of a ten gallon I had lying around. A member here on the forums was generous enough to send me several plants to start up. It's a dirt bottom tank with the LED equivalent of 40 watts of light. I'm...

I have access to a large amount of a Brake Fern, Pteris multifida, and I'm offering divisions free of charge to interested participating members of the community who are located in USDA zone 6 or lower. The stuff is growing all over one of our greenhouses, in cracks in the blocks, and even in...

With the hot TX summer coming and all my other projects in testing or completed its time to start this one. The alpha version will likely contain U. quelchii. My main goals are as follows. Lowest maintenance time possible. Allow enough room for the species to flower within the setup. Ease of...

This fern just started growing in my paludarium a few weeks ago. I have no idea where it came from, but it's rather nice. It's the dark green leaf right in the center of the pic. The leaf (frond) is on a wiry stem ala Maidenhair Fern. Any ideas?

Just putting a feeler out there: Anybody interested in trading a rooted Lecanopteris curtisii (ant fern) division for a Nepenthes tenuis? My L. curtisii has been growing vigorously in a sunny south-facing window in NYC, with household humidity, for about 18 months. I've been pleasantly...

I keep hearing that cephs seem to thrive in selfwatering pots would this one work? and could it be a plastic pot with a wick? Product Details This self-watering pot is the answer to people who do not want to be "slaves" to their plants. The plant is planted in the inner pot and simply keep...

Hello everyone. I recently received some Cinnamon ferns (Osmunda cinnamomea). My goal is to grow them as long-term companion plants with my flyraps, sarracenia, and temperate sundews. I didn't just randomly choose any fern, I had cinnamon fern recommended once as a companion plant for cp's...

hello all, for this auction I have a series of aquarium plants. the higher the bidding, the more plants are unlocked for you to win. some of these plants are common in the aquarium trade, while some are a bit harder to get, and finally, there's a holy grail to pursue. so without delay, i will...

I was wondering if folks on here are looking for tree fern for orchid mounting and terrariums or whatever. I found a store that has it and purchased five pieces. As a natural product, the dimensions vary, one side if flat, the other dimensions are more or less... 17" x 5" 16" x 5.5" 12" x 6"...

I want to expand my CP collection but don't have any CPs to trade with. I do however have an excess of some aquatic plants that I can trade off, some grown emersed some submersed, I will try to specify which. I'm making the list mostly from memory without going down to check the bins at all so...

Hi all, I'm brand new to CPs and tomorrow I'm taking delivery of three Sundews and two VFTs. Now, I want to add them into an existing terrarium I have. The terrarium currently houses some moss, two bromeliads, a tilandsia and some kind of fern. The medium consists of a mixture made of peat...

I like to grow sphagnum moss on all of my plants. I found this fern moss on my mother's grave. There is a lot of it so I brought some home. Will it be safe to put on my Nepenthes?

Hello! Fairly new to the forums, asking all sorts of questions all over the place for my new 3 plants, but I really want to get everything right and not have a graveyard on my hands! I just finished setting up a new terrarium, got brand new lights, and figured out how to keep the darn thing at...

Many people are surprised to learn about the orchids and epiphytes that are native to the Southeastern US, especially Florida. So here is a thread dedicated to some of those plants. Ecyclia tampensis: Florida Butterfly Orchid; one of my favorites, found all over south FL, even as far north as...

Hey all, It's been a long time since I have been on the ol' TF. I miss you guys! I suppose life and other obligations have been more at the center of my attention lately. Also my Nepenthes/carnivorous plant collection has been reduced to the bare bones and I hardly have any pictures worth...

One of my Cephalotus pots has sprouted a fern and the Cephalotus seems to be enjoying its companion, with it growing quite fast and large.
