Whaddup everyone. I'm Daniel. I figured I'd introduce myself as I plan on becoming an active member of this forum. To be honest, this is the first forum I have ever participated in, and as such I am a forum newb too. My main interest in CP's are Nepenthes, but I have a few Cephalotus F. plants...
I have a very sick Hamata! I think it has got some kind of fungas or something?
It's been growing in a tank with plenty of air circulation, but lately I have been having a hard time keeping the humidity high. It's been 20 to 30 percent. I have a fogger in the tank, but it does not keep the...
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...
Hey guys. I figured I'd ask if anyone had a used one laying around before I went out and bought one. If anyone has one and wants to trade for plants, let me know. I don't care if it has LED's or not, as long as it works and comes with the power cord. I want it so I can go ahead and remove the...
Okay i have been into carnivorous plants for about 2-3 yrs but have only grown Drosera, Pings, VFT, sarracenia.
Now i wanna try something new and want to try out Neps!
I do have peat moss, sphagnum, and perlite but not sure what else i mite need if any. Also have a 20 gal terrarium.
I plan...
Just wondering how much of a benefit a fogger would be in a highland tank. What would the downsides be? And are there any precautions that should be taken if one is going to be used? I like them for viewing purposes, but I know nothing about them so I need some more details.
Thanks in...
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...
Well, as most of you know- I've been using a aquafogger for a year or so now... I decided to try out a high pressure (1000psi) fogging system. I installed it yesterday using about the min. amount of nozzles the kit can take.. and it may be overkill. I'm gonna have to change a few things around...
Well, a overview of the plants in my green house was requested... so here it is. Please be advised I've been having some problems with my fogger... so the humidity has dropped down to the teens a few times. (That's why I'm not showing many of my VFTs here ) I hope you enjoy anyway!!
My tiny...
This is my Terrerium setup, I've only had it running for about a month with two florescent bulbs 40W, 5000K each. I know my VFT should be outside but unfortunatly my climate is much to harsh with the the humidty at 0% all day and temps reaching 35 Celsius by noon. Any ways I have a fogger in...
So yeah here some pics. I need to get a temp/humidity gauge and a fogger maybe. I also need to paint the inside of the hood flat white.
Fell free to ask questions and make comments
I currently grow orchids/cps in 2 grow chambers. I have slowly been getting more cool growing orchids, so now my cases never really get above 70-75(on a full sun day). I have a ultrasonic fogger piping in cool air. So I would like to get a highland nep.
What types are on the smaller size that...
So the other day one of my friends sold me a really nice, never-out-of-the-box Gro-Pro greenhouse for super cheap. I just built a greenhouse on my porch, so I wanted to use this one inside. My apartment is very dry, especially in the winter, so the vinyl cover is a real godsend for my...
Hello everyone
Inspired by homer's post on his ventilation setup, I decided it was time my plants received better treatment. This idea also comes from when I grew [legal] mushrooms in a terrarium. It's amazing how you can apply bits and pieces from here and there.
I realise I could just buy a...
Hey guys,
Setting up a growspace for some plants, trying to figure out if there's anything (besides ultra-highland and very true highlands I guess) that I shouldn't stick into this tank?
Temps:
Lights on- max 92-95f
Lights off- min 72f (when ac's on or a pretty cool night)
Lighting:
65w...
I have these two spashguards that I used in combination for my 10 Gallon tank.
I just setup a 29 Gallon tank and added a waterfall that has a fogger holder, so I don't need these anymore.
I would like to trade them for a nep, since I have only one kind now. I have Ventricosa and would like...
I've had a terrarium that has been successfully growing drosera and a couple of vft's for many months now. Everything I've read suggests providing some sort of air circulation for the tank, but none really mention how to provide this in a sealed terrarium (other then mentioning the use of a...
using a bottom layer of clay pellets, then a screen, then a mixture of coconut fibers and tree fern fibers. the bottom, being water, is held away from the dirt by a rock/silicone wall. the water has small fish. the filter output is connected to a hose and makes a waterfall/stream. the wood is...
Hi,
I was considering a small setup for highland nepenthes, and after getting quite a bit of information from this forum, was wondering if anyone could offer me some advice. I'm trying to provide a 5-10°F night temperature drop, targetting 60-65°F; perhaps some daytime cooling as well...
