Well, I was able to lure the uninvited guest reptilian terarrium inhabitant I found last night into my mantis hatching jar (no mantids this year) and I setup the terrarium properly to house a lizard. Or at least what I could accomplish in one day. I had put some baby crickets in the jar and...
I figured this is worth a shot, not sure if there will be any takers...
I love this thing. It's a form of a Boston Fern called 'Suzi Wong.' It grows very slowly, very small leaves, and has eerie powers! It will instantly put you under a spell and make you touch it, it's impossible to resist...
Friday morning our tour guide, Rich, took Gale and myself around to some sites to see some CP’s further east then what I usually go.
Rich brought some hybrids with him, 3 clones of Drosera intermedia x rotundifolia (Drosera x beleziana) and Drosera intermedia X Drosera filiformis called...
I have a N. singalana in a 4 inch pot that's recovering from some neglect. A few months ago a little fern popped up in this very same pot, and being the nice plant guy that I am, I let it grow.
Well, this little fern took it upon itself to grow bigger than my N. singalana. I honestly have no...
Hi guys,
Finally the silicone has hardened enough and I made this. BTW....after all that talk about a barrier, I got this done WITHOUT any barrier at all. Its just a idea based on different levels.
Note: the water was WAAAAY cleaner before....I was trying the waterfall without the pipe stuck...
Last Friday I added some plants to my 10 gallon tank. I have now 30 watts with CO2 and a bunch of plants. Well today I noticed some algae starting to grow on the front glass. I added no fertilizers yet. I have the following plants:
2 Anubias Nana (growing new leaves already)
7 Rotala Magenta...
after years of giveing advice and tending to others carnivorous plant terraniums i am makeing my own, this weekend with assistance from my fater we went outside and grabbed the old ten gallon fish tank, which was in the back of the old pick-up, i know hwat you might think "pick-up in the...

I like sanguinea because for me it is one of the fastest CPs I grow, It puts out a new pitcher about once a month during its growing season and handles high temperatures and low humidity very well.
Only problem is that one of mine appears to be getting sick :(. Its leaves have...
2 yrs ago all of my Cps died off in a terrarium fungus incident of disastrous proportions. I am starting over again, growing my CP's with more light, less humidity and more air movement.

I started a terrarium several years ago for several CP's (before I learned that not all CP's enjoy them ) and I used a dry peat starter for the "soil". I eventually moved the CP's (only about a week) and lo and behold, not only was the peat growing, but so were several other plants.
One was a...
Just like it says in the title, I want to find a nice-sized staghorn fern for my terrarium. If you've got one you'd care to part with, I have plenty of stuff to trade - PM me.

Bear in mind that i'm getting more plants (anubias, java ferns, lillies, etc) and that what's in there now was just planted today, what do you think?
background: ludwigia sp., Ludwigia inclinata'Cuba', and a mystery plant from the lake (wooo...)
middle: sagittaria subulata, hydrocodyle...

I've had my really cool Medusa fern for quite a while now and I've grown it under artificial lights for the most part. Since I've redone my collection it's been sitting in somewhat of a shady corner of a room. It still seems healthy, but I want to make sure that shady conditions will be ok for...
A couple year ago I mounted a U. endressii on a piece of cork that had been laying around. I don't remember when the ferns started growing but I figure its been a little over a year now that they started showing up. Can anyone ID my spontaneous ferns?
U. endressii tuber (the endressii...
Hello guys,
Some of u guys who come to the VFT section must have noticed that I am a newcomer to this kind of stuff. All this while, I was planning a small fish bowl as a terrarium with around 5 varities of VFT's.
I did research, talked to a ton of ppl and of all a good friend Mabudon said...
Of course I forgot to list my tropical plants.
Nepenthes ventrata
Nepenthes gracilis
Nepenthes hybrid from Lowe's (who knows?)
Drosera adelae
Drosera prolifera
Staghorn fern
Well here it is, not to sure what kind of fern it is but I suspect Adiantum, in my knowledge it is hard to identify ferns so anyone up to the challenge go for it!
