I have an orchid mounted to a tree fern slab and this little guy decided to make it his home. Any ideas for what it is?
A toothpick for size reference, he is a few months old. I think I want to keep him!

I am starting my small collection for CPs, and was hoping I could find a few plants that I could not get a hold of online(they were out of stock!!) I don't have much to trade, but Id thought I'd give it a shot to see where it leads...
I have:
- 30grams of 90% hatch success Brineshrimp...
Hey guys...I got myself a fert (Yates brand)...Main purpose for it is for my fern and orchid...but just wanna ask you guys if this fert can work for neps too. I never fertilize cause my neps use to wipe out colonies of ants:-)) But now i don't have any ants left in the house and i've observed...
It was kind of funny
Had this fern? {Guessing it's a type of fern} growing in one of my pots
Then I traded some plants with a friend at a meeting yesterday & they gave me a piece of the same thing
They also have it growing in some of their pots
Would try to look it up, but have no idea...
just showed up......proves when packing is done correctly i can get plants in subfreezing temps....they are Huperzia tetrasticha which is a lycopodium type club moss and Lecanopteris balgooyi which is an ant fern....a Nepenthes longifolia also showed up with them.....
Started putting together another vivarium about a week ago and here it is so far. I will be adding a Ceph. division to the mount of peat/sand/perlite in the next week or two. Once I get the time.
The spoon is holding that fern in place until it roots.
<a...
So my trip is winding down...leaving Friday morning and returning to reality.
I went to the nursery and bought my aunty a Nepenthes...didn't have any name though.
Hopefully it'll grow without too much thought, lol, my aunty is not to good with plants. Today I went to the farmer's market and...
Hey Everyone
This started growing with my N Lowii a couple of months ago. At first I plucked it out, but then decided to let it grow a bit. Right now it is about two inches tall. I thought it might be a terrestrial utric any thoughts ?
No flowers as of yet
Thanks
After soooooooo looooooooong I might finally have a Utric. graminifolia flower stalk! :banana2:
I've grown atleast 4 square feet of UG, I'm not kidding...Just mailed out another 6" X 4" section this morning...and never 1 stalk :censor:. This was my first Utric and I've had it for years...
Post some pictures of your plants besides CP's that you grow! Especially if you have more unusual and rare specimens!
Here are some of mine, forgive my poor photography skills :p
Seedgrown Lemon tree
Heartleaf Philodendron - - Umm desk is a bit messy from doing Calculus work... really...
I just got a big pile of this "Giant Club Moss" in today anybody know what it is? It looks similar to the fine leaf form of my Elaphoglossum peltata fern but is much larger.
On average the parasol like fronds are about 4" but some get to 6-7", the huge ones may be shade grown fronds

This poor girl has had her "new" enclosure usurped by other insects twice now, so tonight I finished her enclosure and set her loose in here so I didn't get any more wise ideas. Now she should be able to have a nice new molt with plenty of room to stretch out.
Not a real exciting shot but I...
LACPS meet pics! (BANDWIDTH WARNING!!!)
Well, I decided to go up for a LACPS meet (and unfortunately the traffic made the journey back 2X as long as it was supposed to be :cry: so I just got home) but I did bring back a whole slew of pics! Mostly from the tour around the botanical garden cuz...
So I've just begun this new 10 gallon vertical vivarium, Still working on the plantings obviously!
Some of the first plants:
N. belli x thorelii x aristolochioides this is a rooted cutting so I can see it's the perfect diameter for this tank , not too big.
This miniature fern is...
B52s "Love Shack" Video ;)
Ok now for real this is pretty much a step by step of setting this up.
A mud background (kitty litter & peat moss 50/50) because it rules! I'll likely never go with spray foam and silicone again.
An inch or two of Hydroton balls as drainage
Soil mix is...
Got this the other day from a guy at a farmers market
But the only info I could get from him was "Fern that grows on tree no dirt" & "Keep wet"
So from that & the looks of it I'll say it's an Epiphytic / LOL
I've been GOOGLE imaging Epiphytic Fern
But haven't had any luck finding anything that...
