fog

I've been out of Neps for a couple years but after starting with Lithops and Cacti I've gotten the plants back in the blood! So this is the highland Nep/Orchid & CP chamber I want to setup, I will have 3 times the floor space of my old highland chamber with this design and mounted mini orchids...

Hello Friends, Well, due to some requests from fellow Heli-addicts, I've decided to write an article on how I grow Heliamphora indoors year-round. Here's a list of the Heliamphora I'm successfully growing at present; H. nutans H. ionasii H. sarraceniodes H. hispida H. minor x H. heterodoxa...

The Three Little Pings Once upon a time, in a far away land, three little Pings lived peacefully, in a small sphagnum bog. The three pings used to hang out a lot together. The first little ping was named Maury, the moranensis. The second was Lauri, the Laueana. And last but certainly not...

Thought I would share some pictures from this morning. It was a nice morning with some fog and not too bright for some photos. S. x Chelsonii? with S. rubra-long lid (this is a miniature S. rubra clone that my have something else in it). D. 'California Sunset' in background along with...

Much is often said in books and on this forum (for that matter) about the great delicacy of Heliamphora plants and, particularly, that of its roots. But that is not necessarily the case . . . A couple of months back, I had the unfortunate opportunity of seeing just how tough these plants can...

So, I recently had to open my terrarium for awhile and the warmth escaped. Now, I have a problem, it usually got up to 80, but now it only get to, like, 70, 71 degrees? Then at night, it gets below 65! I need help if this is going to continue to hold Jimmy (my baby ceph), my P. primuliflora, I...

I return from lurking with a whole string of questions, and a bit of a background story to help put this all in perspective (This is a MUST be done situation, not a "I just want to"). Oh and an apology for any unintentional ranting that may come up. My daughter, otherwise known as "The Tropical...

Hiya All- As some of you know, I have recently built my Solexx greenhouse which now houses my lowland neps of bicals and raffs (and for some reason, half of the gh now also includes my wife's orchids :-( ) Well being a LL gh, humidity is a big issue. So I went with a gh fogger...

I'm new to the forum but not to CP. I've been growing about 12 years. Lots of Mexican pings, some drosera, nep's, cephs, and sarrs. I primarily grow orchids but have a sizeable grow room built specifically for warm end of cool to the cool end of warm conditions. High pressure sodium lights...

I just got a small greenhouse(6'x8') I'm thinking about using it to grow highland nepenthes. I was thinking about getting a two gallon aquarium and placing a ultrasonic fogger inside to add humidity. What do you think about this? do you have anyother suggestions?I've seen other people place...

I've got a new ultrasonic fogger in my terrarium (increased humidity a whopping 30 percents!) with a fan blowing across it. Almost all of the fog all evaporates as the fan blows it across the 4 foot terrarium. Does this count as evaporative cooling or not? The breeze feels pretty cool but that...

I have a question - Do you think that an ultrasonic fogger in a terrarium could expose people to germs?  I'm basing this on the fact that large (room-type) ultrasonic foggers have to be cleaned out periodically to avoid microbial build-up that would then be sprayed right into the room. Well, it...

I just got a 20gallon long tank and i put a couple of incandesent plant light bulds and these lights are foging the entire tank. How do you deal/remove with this?

Hylla, my cep has lost, (miss), 2 leaves and 1 trap a small trap die too, but it have 4 new traps (still small, but growing), How i know if she is growing normal?, other question, The peat is always moist (is like wet but not wet... XD), but is not wet.... Should i water she?, how often? does...

Hey folks, Feeling lucky today I took a trip up to the local orchid house and happened to score one of my longtime grail orchids, the tree mushroom-like Bulbo. beccarri! It's not a mature specimen but likely only a leaf or two away from starting to create the shingle leaves I love so much. It's...

Hello, long time ago i was talking here, but all my plants die... Surrently all begin to become brown and that was all, in a week all become nothing. The dioneas (the ones that are alive), look fine, they are slepping, , but i wanna have plants again, i read i need clean peat moss befor use it...

well here in long beach ca. the nights i guess are perfect for nepenthes. i got some readings on this little gadget that i have showing 70%-95% at night. sometimes i wake up in the middle of the night between the hours of 2-4am and have a latenight snack, i go to the balcony and check things out...

it is a joy searching for nepenthes in the wild.Knowing they all look almost the same,at least in term of same species,but observing their colour variation,shapes and their leaves growth pattern is a sight to behold. Holidays and weekends i would be busy with my friends looking for an...
