fertilizer

So I just put new soil in my terrarium and I am having doubts about whether it will work or not. I know most people recommend a general soil of 1:1 peat/sand mix. the problem is the only stuff I could find at Lowes was an "organic peat" which I was told was the same as peat moss. I think the...

Hi everyone does anyone have any experience with growing Cephalotus from seed? Any information is needed except to water with distilled water and to give lots of sun and not to give fertilizer or give fertile soil i know not to but what mix of CP soil THANKS.

Hey everyone - Just wondering if anyone has any experience with Hoffman brand peat moss. I have been using it for quite some time now and have wondered if it is OK. Some of my plants are looking pretty grumpy, and I suspect soil is partly to blame. I found this thread from 2004 in which a...

For those who can't find perlite without fertilizer a recent trip to two local Home Depots in the LA area showed shelves full of two cubic foot bags of perlite without fertilizer. These are about the size of a sofa seat cushion so be prepared for a lot of perlite if you have a small collection...

This started growing out in my Nepenthes ventricosa pot after I repotted about 6 months ago. The N. ventricosa has not been doing well at all (though all my other plants are doing fine), so I wondered if it was possible that the moss was somehow responsible for the nep's continued decline? This...

Some of my dews are making new growth that looks like it is dark and....burned.....what's up with that? The leaves come up all stubby and brown, almost like they were burned with fertilizer of something, but I don't fertillize them and I only use rainwater. I was wondering if low humidity would...

French3z already got me exited about next spring. Thought I would share my ongoing attempts at rapid growth from seed. These are multiple crosses I'm growing via terrarrium and T5s. I've had some luck with this process for a few years now. Some are my crosses and some were traded, and from...

Anyone have an online source for MaxSea (16-16-16) Fertilizer? My local supplier closed shop.

Over my past few years active on this board I have seen very little information on growing N. Northiana. While an incredibly beautiful, well-known species, it seems very few people, especially in the US cultivate this plant. If they do, I can't find them anywhere. :-D Last week I finally felt...

Hello everyone. Before you start reading, I just want to clear up some stuff- 1. Yes, I am turning 12 years old. 2. Yes, I have only been growing plants since January. 3. No, I am not an insane Nepenthes murderer for trying this experiment when I'm a novice grower. I am trying to do an...

Okay folks, I have searched four cp forums as well as other on line resources. It comes down to either sea max or a totally urea free high nitro fertilizer. I will be using this on plants other than neps and with shipping, the costs are about equal. 1. Which would be better for foliar feeding...

i was out for awhile today with my fiancee since i was on call for work and was just waiting to be called in, we stopped at the greenhouse supply store up here, and i go in every now and then to see what plants they have...usually good sized S. flava and flytraps, this time they had some huge...

Right, like i said over in my introduction thread, I finally managed to get my hands on some CPs today. Sadly, all of them in more or less poor condition and with no ID tags ;/ Would be cool if you guys could help me slap a name tag on these babies D: For what it's worth, all of them came from...

So I bought a Burpee organic seed starting kit (the one with the expanding pellets, tray and seedling fertilizer in it) in an attempt to start some ficus religiosa seeds I bought. No luck with them yet, but I have 15 more of those little cup sitting around and ready to go. I like weird plants...

Does anyone have any experience using Maxsea fertilizer on their VFT's. If you have used it what is your opinion ?

I have always tossed around the idea of getting a pacman. It happens that I might have the materials to build a terrarium to replace my two ten-gallon tanks that have been home to my neps and orchids. I have also been envious of dart-frog setups and how lush they are. So, I'm thinking of...

So I heard about using kelp fertilizer on my two bogs to get better results.. So I wanted to ask what popular brands are okay to use.. are all kelp fertilizers okay to use? The only place I have found that carries this is a local nursery called green thumb international and they have it in...

This auction is for a rooted cutting (actively growing at this point, been rooted for several months) from my quite large mother plant. The flowers are as big around as my daughters face, and can be from 6 ro 10" long. As the name implies, they're trumpet shaped (kind of like giant morning...

has anyone used it?

Here is an update on some of my coffee fed Nepenthes. These plants were purchased from CZ Plants in May of 2008. They were all potted up into five inch diameter plastic pots, and were initially grown together in a 16" x 8.25" terrarium. Once the N. rajah outgrew the terrarium it was moved...
