    Seed sowing...

    There's several ways to do it but this is my way. I received some N. rafflesiana "Black Speckle" seeds from eBay. I also received N. alata 'giant' x N. 'Miranda' seeds locally. The first thing I do is prepare 1 cup of rain water. About 10ppm or less water quality. I add clonex fertilizer...

    My first experience with MaxSea and Nepenthes

    Hey guys. I don't know if this will be of benefit to anyone reading or not but just in case it is, I thought I would share a few photos of a plant that I used some MaxSea 16-16-16 on about 3 weeks ago. I separated one of my Nepenthes mirabilis var. echinostoma plantlets from the others (all...

    Should I repot?

    Hello again guys! It's fussy little me again! My little Laueana is doing fine and growing well but I noticed that when I go to pluck off dead leaves it's really easy to litteraly lift the entire plant out of the pot! It's attached to a clod of dirt and two rocks with moss on it. Being so easy...

    Cheap Tissue Culture

    Hello TF, I'm pursuing a new cheap project! Recently, I was assigned a project in school where we have 7 weeks to pursue anything we want, and then we give a presentation on the process and what we have learned by the end. It's an awesome opportunity, and I have decided to move up my summer...

    Cephalotus

    For some time I have been watching an eBay seller offering Ceph's that apparently lost the ID tags and might be one of the giant varieties. He might be right because the one I bought from his website as a typical variety is a fairly small plant and producing some pitchers approaching 1.5". I...

    Whitish Seedlings

    Several weeks ago I posted pictures of some Nepenthes seedlings that look pale yellow or very light green. I have been messing around trying some things and believe the faded look is due to too much light. I have several plastic cookie boxes and several 72 cells germination boxes with many...

    Cephalotus nectar.

    I spent several days observing and taking close pictures of a new large pitcher opening. I placed diluted orchid fertilizer into a couple of pitchers in each of three plants three weeks ago and this pitcher just exploded in size reaching 1.5 inches so far. The plant itself is the smaller of the...

    Young N. miranda That Has NEVER Had Pitchers, plus ID request

    I've looked through previous threads, hoping to find the answer to this, but since I didn't really find anything that satisfied my question(s), I'm posting on here for a solution.

    Fertilizing Drosera & Sarracenia?

    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...

    humidification of water soluable fertilizer?

    Would that be something of applicable interest? -Instead of direct foliar feeding; would it not be better absorbed by the plant as a super-fine mist? -One would think the coverage and absorption would be infinitely better. -Downside is i suppose with the fertilizer being misted would...

    Fertilizing

    Hey, I've been wanting to start fertilizing my sarracenias and I was wondering what brand names are the best and at what dosages. I've seen Miracid and Miracle Gro Orchid Fertilizer in the local stores, are these any good? Responses will be appreciated Thanks!

    Sarracenia has moved from my least fav to my most fav cp.

    reasons why: 1. low maintenance; water tray once a day; the end. -however I am in the process of doing a self contained bog container so I'm hoping this will lead to less watering. 2. can be grown outside; well where i live anyway. 3. looks cooler in person; pictures don't do these things...
