fertilize

Couple new plants in today which warrants new pics. Sorry for the cell phone quality but its less complicated to take them that way. First off the new plants: N lowii x (nothiana x veitchii) <a...

Hello lovely people of this forum. I ordered this lovely plant(Ultriculiaria Graminifolia) for an aquatic planted tank I've recently set up. I've done a fair amount of reading and I'm confident I know what to expect. Until just recently when I discovered this forum I had no idea what the...

I got some MaxSea fertilizer that I use foliarly on my Nepenthes. It has a ratio on the thing of like 1tbsp per gallon, but I do 3/4tsp per gallon like directed by the nursery owner that uses it on all of their CPs. I want to fertilize my sundews and my sarracenia. I have 15+ of each aliciae and...

is it safe for me to fertilize my 3 week old drosera seedlings with a foliar feed made up of 4 drops of kelp extract per litre of water? and if yes how many more drops do you think i could safely add? thanks in advance -Klauts klauts

Can you use a mix of sphagnum, perlite, and sand? Here in Lathrop,CA it is hard to find another sphagnum peat moss brand that doesn't fertilize it!!! At the my local hardware store, they usually only sale miracle-gro. What do you guys recommend??? My local hardware store does sell unfertilized...

I ordered two bunches of Spanish Moss from a vendor back in December and it hasn't grown a single bit, but it flowered during the summer. It is the thick variation of the species, not the thin. It is definitely alive, kinda greenish-gray... I really like the look it adds to my greenhouse and I...

I've owned this plant for nearly three months now and while it has put out a lot of new leaves with nice reddish hues, it has only produced one tiny new pitcher. This plant remains outdoors and receives about six hours of sun a day. I lightly fertilize the plant once a month and I also placed...

At the moment i am feeling extremly ANGRY towards a certain Eastern Tiger Swallowtail caterpillar. in one of my barrel bogs i have been growing some Sarracenia flava v, ornata. I have nurtured these plants for three years hoping to finally obtain some seed this year to distribute to other...

I got this plant 4-6 months ago and it has not done much of anything for me. It looks very much like it did when I first received the plant; it has put out a few leaves but has not even thought about inflating a pitcher. Conditions: Grown in a basement with a variety of Neps and Heliamphora...

A while back I placed an order with a nursery in Texas. I don't like getting plants there but sometimes I do because what I'm looking for isn't available anywhere else. I ordered two plants. An N. bicalcarata giant Sarawak and an N. campanulata. The bical died on me. It started going down...

So I have been slowly falling in love with the orchid hobby (and so is my mom!). I am however, exceptionally bewildered by orchid ID-ing. I've only been glancing through the books and soaking up some names, but I dont' seem recognize some of them ??? Also, any other ways to get them to flower...

I read that Osmocote can be used for Nepenthes plants. I'm just wondering if it's a good idea to fertilize establishing plants or plant cuttings?

I bought a S. leucophylla "Tarnock" two springs ago at a garden center locally. It was/is in a 4"square plastic pot. It didn't really look large when I bought it, but it was the best I could get then. I keep my Sarracenia's outdoors spring to fall in full sun in water trays. Most of my CP are in...

Hey guys...I started growing 2 vandas and realized they were really easy and free flowering..So i guess i got poisoned buy the orchid bug But vandas are really big plants so are there other type of orchids which can grow down here in terms of temperatures? (My temps are 34C Day 27C night) If so...

After reading Est's how-to and trading a few PMs I thought a circulating bog was quite feasible for me. Pictured is actually a reworked version of my first go. I learned quite a few things from trial and error: Problem 1: A completely open circulating system with just a pond pump and irrigation...

Hi guys, Some of you may remember my enthusiastic post about my first nepenthes flowering. I got some aristolochioides pollen from a local canadian grower and fertilized it early in december. I had hoped that what I was seeing was the start of a fruit and maybe a small chunk of viable seed...

So I have two Pinguicula and was told their name is Pinguicula 'John Rizzi'. Now I have been looking all over to see how to take care of them and all I've been getting are brief descriptions but nothing more and since I know almost nothing about CPs I'm kinda wanting more. :P So do these lovely...

Thanks to a couple of really cool TF members I've got a nice little collection of orchidioides and other Utrics going in some 4" net pots and I was curious if anyone fertilizes theirs and notices whether it seems to make a difference or not. I've had them for some months now and I still don't...

Hi guys, My H. minor has opened a beautiful flower. There is a second one on the stalk and the idea is that I should collect pollen from the first one and use it to fertilize the second. Since this is the first for me, any guidance is appreciated and I don't know if I will get any seed, but...
