foliar

Good morning Terra Forums, I revamped my terrarium this summer, and I don't think I did it correctly, which is something I am coming to terms with gradually. I'm still figuring out how to help my plants transition successfully, if they can at all. My N. ventricosa and N. alata have bounced...

Hi, I have seen several post with regards to foliar feeding Heliamphora. Many of these have advocated 1/4 strength orchid fertiliser as the foliar feed. Has anyone tried root feeding them with fertiliser and, if so, what was the results?

Some reputable sources I've read recommend misting Helis once or three times a day. I try to spray mine down whenever I think about it but the truth of the matter is that I don't often think about it. I've got some spare parts from another project, though, and was thinking about building a mini...

just a 30-10-10? should i foliar feed my d.capensis and ping too? or soil feed those and just foliar the nep?

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...

Well according to wikipedia N. ampullaria is a vegetation eater: N. ampullaria has largely moved away from carnivory and acquires a substantial portion of its nutrients from digesting leaf matter that falls to the forest floor. It is thus partially detritivorous. The species has developed...

I decided to do a little un-scientific experiment regarding fertilization of Sarracenia seedlings. I have some wild-collected S. purpurea seeds from two different locations in WI, roughly 120 miles apart. So I figured I'd fertilize one of them and not the other, using a Miracid solution as a...

I have been having this problem with green mold growing on top of pots with standard CP peat/perlit mixes. :censor: My question is: What product is good for killing and eradication with a simple surface application? Obviously some sort of fungicide, by what type and what brands are...

I read that you're supposed to "only spray the leaves", and I've got my diluted mixture figured out, as well as how often and how much. What I don't have is the method. Do you just spray the Nep from say six inches away until it gets a little wet? I'm sure most people just spray, but my Nep is...

What kind of solution of orchid fertilizer, and what kind (I have 30-10-10) do you use for your Nepenthes, and how many sprays do you give it per foliar feeding? The book "The Savage Garden" suggested a foliar feeding twice monthly during the growing season of an Orchid 30-10-10 fertilizer. It...

my nep has been sitting in my windowsill for about a week now, still in its 3" original pot, i wanted to transplant it today. its a 4" tall n. ventricosa with a few totally black leaves on it(i imagine just needs trim from winter). the plant has like three 4 inch leaves with many smaller ones...

It's made from worm poop! What do you think about this as a foliar feed, or even a pitcher feed if you are into that (I do) ? They feed organic waste to worms then make a liquid spray-ready fertilizer out of the castings. They collect and recycle bottles (over 1.5 million so far) and donate...

I posted this at another forum so I figure you guys might want to see my crappy pics. I'll just paste the whole post. Do you find an advantage to using natural fertilizer over artificial? Here's 3 consecutive pitchers of N. bical "red" x campanulata. If anyone else has one of these I'd love to...

Okay, people have had extremely great success with milk, and good success with fertilizer. I got some 7-8-6 Orchid Fertilizer waiting for me at the post office tomorrow. What if someone (me) were to take 1% lowfat milk and orchid fertilizer and put it in a gallon of distilled water and then...

After I was thinking that foliar feeding a nep with some fertilizer helps it out, as I have done before, I was thinking, why not try it out on some Utricularia species that don't want to flower, such as U. longifolia or U. alpina or other plants with large stolons? What do you guys think...

I've heard of people experimenting with low levels of fertilizers (stuff in the sticky up top) especially when it comes to a lot of Neps and a huge greenhouse. I was wondering if any of you have tried using Worm Castings? I've been reading into organic fertilizing and they get a lot of good...

My curiosity on ampullaria's habit of catching falling leaf matter and effectively using it has been peaked. I just fed some lettuce to my rafflesiana giant and sanguinea to see how they will be affected. After less than 5 mins. in the raff pitcher, the pieces of lettuce are already going brown...

Hey, Ok I just some fertilizer and I was wondering if it was ok to use. It is Schultz Orchid Food 19-31-17. I know its not 30-10-10 but could i still use it? And also can it be used any time during the year as foliar feed? Thank you.

Hi, need some help again. Situation: Plants not growing- not increasing, or even decreasing in diameter. Truncata bought from MT in april, has produced 3 leaves, all of which are equal in size. pitchers have increased about 1cm every leaf Rafflesiana BE-99 bought in late June, bare-root. Has...

Native to Africa, Madagascar, and South America, these carnivores are related to Pinguicula and Utricularia, but their traps are like no other. Genlisea grow as an amphibious species, and sometimes terrestrials, in wet, peaty, sand. They are found in tropical regions. Genlisea produce leafy...
