    Pitchers don't last. At all.

    Sup, peeps? I have a problem. My N. campanulata have settled in and are pitchers well, growing fast, and all is well... BUT the pitchers just aren't lasting. I have never encountered this problem, so I don't know how to address it. I feed twice a month. Half strength organic fertilizer. The...

    Lucky Drosophyllum germination

    For the past couple of years I've been trying to germinate Drosophyllum with 0% success. I finally got fed up and sowed them randomly in different plant pots last winter. Well a couple days ago I went outside and noticed something strange in my Ceph pot. I thought it was a weed at first but...

    Who uses Maxsea?

    Based on what I've read on a few forums, I went ahead and ordered some Maxsea 16-16-16 seaweed fertilizer. I know that everyone has their preferred fertilizers and methods for applying them, but I'd like to hear specifically from those that use this particular brew as to how you use it. I have...

    Ceph fertilizer

    I've seen a lot of posts and threads about fertilizing Cephalotus, but noone has said how much to dilute the solution. I'll be using a 20-14-13 orchid fertilizer that calls for 1 teaspoon per gallon. How much should I dilute it and how should I apply it? Thanks -Matt

    How to foliar feed (properly)

    I read that you're supposed to "only spray the leaves", and I've got my diluted mixture figured out, as well as how often and how much. What I don't have is the method. Do you just spray the Nep from say six inches away until it gets a little wet? I'm sure most people just spray, but my Nep is...

    Orchid fertilizer question

    What kind of solution of orchid fertilizer, and what kind (I have 30-10-10) do you use for your Nepenthes, and how many sprays do you give it per foliar feeding? The book "The Savage Garden" suggested a foliar feeding twice monthly during the growing season of an Orchid 30-10-10 fertilizer. It...

    Soil?

    Where do you get yours? I know its something like 50/50 peat moss, but what kind? If you find a link from walmart/kmart/lowes/ anything like that, can you send the link? Im repotting my plant soon, but im clueless on which soil i should get. All i know is that it shouldn't be anything with...

    Science geek-y question.... ammonia as fertilizer?

    (First... side note.... whoa crazy new feature with the search thing for the title! I like it though!) Anyway, I'm studying for my microbiology test and I've been working on the nitrogen cycle specifically... one of the practice questions we had talked about using either ammonia (NH3) or...

    Nepenthes fertiliser?

    Earlier today I bought some 20-14-13 fertilizer for my orchids (my Moms actually, but I take care of them). Is this ok to use on my Nepenthes if I use 1/4 the normal amount (1/4 of a teaspoon)? I've never really used fertilizer on my Neps before, but they seem to be a little slow right now and I...

    Soil Question

    I got a small pitcher plant and adalae for one of my girlfriends family members because they seemed so interested in my plants... but this was in Tallahassee and I couldn't find any peat moss up there in small quantities. I could buy like 100 pounds of it but I only obviously needed like a few...

    Tips for U. Longifolia Flowering?

    Anyone have some tips for producing U. Longifolia flowers? I was wondering if they want dilute fertilizer of their leaves, a dry period, repotting, etc. to stimulate flowers. Any advice appreciated. Thanks!

    Please help a newbie not kill his first VFT

    Edit: I'm not going to attempt growing from seeds since you all say not to start that way - I don't want to wait another 3 years for my first functional VFT. I'm going to buy a couple from "adnedarn" later on instead. Post below is otherwise unedited...

    Brugmansia pics

    I've neglected this plant all year and it's survived the drought without any extra water or fertilizer. It would look SO good if I had taken proper care of it. It's a later bloomer and small compared to the monster it would have been but it's still pretty :) And it smells heavenly! Really...

    Algae in Nepenthes pitchers

    I add fertilizer directly into the pitchers of my Nepenthes, but on N. fusca I've got free floating algae. Of course this is competition for the nutrients, but when the nutrients are used up won't it just die and release anything it's accumulated? Or is this bad? Would an algae coating on the...
