    My NEW!-ish Bog Garden [Strawberry Pot]

    About a month ago I posted a question about a 'strange spike thingy,' regarding the mini bog garden in this post. Since this is a photo post, and not a question, I decided to start a new one, and will update this post as my little pot grows along. I think this might be a subject for people to...

    Miracle-Gro Perlite ok?

    I spent a half our at both Home Depot and Lowes today(no other big chain stores around here that I can think of) trying to find some perlite for repotting my plants. Neither store had anything but Miracle-Gro Perlite, which says it includes fertilizer. I may be a huge noobie to growing CP's...

    N. sabre and N. hamata.

    Been a while since I made myself known here. I took these shots today. I have been feeding the pitchers twice a month with a urea free liquid fertilizer. Seems to be helping, my hamata has really put on some good growth. JMatt

    My Drosera Capensis has stopped producing tentacles

    For some reason, my Drosera Capensis has stopped producing tentacles. The plant is pretty small and I'm not sure what's wrong. It's growing in peat soil (no fertilizer). It gets watered with distilled water about twice a week. And it gets an hour or two of direct sun a day, the rest of the time...

    Article- Roridula dentata conservation and biology

    I found this article while surfing, and I found it fascinating and I think you will too. This is a plant we don't hear much about. The article itself has pictures of both the plant and its bug. http://www.kew.org/msbp/plantstories/Roridula_dentata.htm

    2009 Heliamphora updates . . .

    Here are some shots of a few of my Heliamphora, taken as I was fertilizing the lot with 30:10:10 orchid fertilizer, and trimming away some dead winter leaves. Even though the H. ionasii plants below germinated at the same time, about half the pot still remains in a juvenile state. There is...

    nep help

    I'm not real great with Neps and was wondering what is wrong with mine. I've looked through tons of posts here but haven't found anything to give me a good answer. I'm not sure whether it's just getting too much sun (east window), too cold, mites, a fungus, needing fertilizer (hasn't had...

    Hi, CP people!

    Hi I am here because I bought a new pitcher plant and I want to really take care of it. I had a pitcher plant that died months ago and now I am restarting. When I was a kid (about 7 years old), I had a Venus fly trap and was absolutely amazed by it. To help it grow, I added a lot of fertilizer...

    How to find the concentration of fertilizer AFTER it's been mixed with water?

    I think I'm going to give Terracycle another shot. I stopped using it because I thought it was rip off when it comes to price, but now I'm going to play with it again since I'm downsizing anyway and it has less crap in it than what I already use. Maybe it won't burn one of my plants, is what I'm...
