    Reverse Osmosis Advice

    Okay fellow TFers, I have a quandary: what do I need to know before buying a reverse osmosis unit? I am tired of collecting water off my air conditioning coils, but I don't quite know what I am in for. Some background insight first, I guess. I have about twenty to twenty-five containers of...

    fly traps and Ohio winters

    I know vft's can not be left out in freezing weather. My problem is I have no place to put them in the winter where they would get the temp and light needed to hibernate. My basement is heated at about 65 degrees even on the window sill. I did the refrigerator method last year and they survived...

    Pings as Houseplants

    I'm looking into getting Mexican pings to be kept on windowsill. I have a nice little south western window that gets 3-4 hours of direct sunlight in the summer and more in the winter. I know P. 'piroutte' and P. moranensis will be good species to keep in that way. I also have my eye on P...

    Hey from Indy

    I just joined today. Have been growing carnivorous plants since I was little but seriously now for 4 years. I'm currently working on a TC project with Nepenthes, Dionaea, Drosera, and Cephalotus as part of some summer research that I'm doing at school. Finding as much information as is out there...

    Wassup from NYC!

    Yo! I've been lurking this site for a while and now seems to be the best time to join. I've been growing sarracenia outdoors for about four years now. It all started with a S. flava and a Dionaea 'Akai Ryu'. Unfortunately my newbie mistakes during dormancy killed my first group of plants. The...

    A few questions about different setups...

    Alright, so the project I'm looking to tackle is that of three small tanks to turn into plant-only terrariums of different kinds. They're all slightly different sizes, but they're all around the 2 gallon mark and all still more or less watertight. I'd quite like to do one of each type to start...

    Marine Tank coral/algae for Temperate CPS?

    So I'm not sure if anyone here would be interested in these Algae and coral I have from my marine tank but I figured it was worth seeing if any of my extras would be of interest to trade for someone else's extras.

    Has Anyone Else Noticed This?

    My typical and "Dentate Traps" Venus flytraps both have generated at least one flower stalk with me; the former I cut off. My typical plant began making a SECOND, which I also cut off (which you'd know if you've looked at my Grow List and Eat Counts recently). Both times, only a couple weeks...
