fungal

Hello all, I am new to this forum, and I'm really impressed by the volume of information amassed by this group. I recently (2mo ago) bought two Nepenthes (gracilis & coccinea) and I have a few questions about them. They are doing ok for now, and coccinea is even producing new pitchers (but...

I have recently repotted my VFT and some of the new traps are turning black before they reach maturity. Is this a fungal attack? How does one apply alcohol to the fungus? Q-tip? It is also developing what I think is a flower stalk (it looks like a fist).

Last year i lost a Nep because a fungal infection, im new in this, i dont know anything about fungicides and im not going to let my Neps die again, please help me and send me examples of active ingredients of some fungicides that you have used with good results. My Neps will thank your support!

Thanks everyone for this contribution. Pyro recently wrote this up for your viewing pleasure ;) Hey all, we seem to have created a huge massive mess out of the old topic so at Ram_Puppy’s request I have cleaned and hacked and made this a bit more readable. It is about that time of year again...

Hey all, we seem to have created a huge massive mess out of the old topic so at Ram_Puppy’s request I have cleaned and hacked and made this a bit more readable. It is about that time of year again and we expect a lot of first timers coming in and posting questions on dormancy, that's GREAT as...

When I got home from work today, I checked on a newly planted venus flytrap mini bog. One vft in particular was of interest to me as it had been almost totaly distroyed by a fungal attack earlier in the year and was just now recovering. To my dismay, the plant had been dug up with no trace of...

Hello, My remaining Px weser has several small growth underneath the largest growth. How do I separate these? Is it advisable to repot the plant now when it's growing carnivorous leaves? Then again, I was told that in my tropical climate, the Pings never produce winter leaves, so when should be...

Edit: Changed the temp info to better clarify temp range. So, after a few weeks of speratic work, the first draft is done.  Sorry, my editor hasn't looked at it yet so their may be like a million typos and bad spell-checker words, but I'd like to here your comments and sugestions so I can get...

Last night i noticed that my Nep soil stinks!, a fungal-algae infection!! im very worried because this fungal infection already killed a drose adelae 3 months ago (In another pot of course). PLease save my neps life, how can i kill this horrible fungus quickly!!!

INTRODUCTION: Venus flytraps (Dionaea muscipula) are one of the world's most well known cp (carnivorous plant). It was first described by the governor of North Carolina, Governor Arthur Dobbs in 1763. He named it flytrap sensitive and it was later known as the venus flytrap, named after Diana...

Of all the Brasilian Drosera, this is one of the most stunning in color and form. After communicating with Fernando Rivadavia, I feel assured this is likely the material collected from the Serro Do Caparao. I have found the plants to be somewhat tempermental regarding fungal presence, but they...

Don't confuse sphagnum moss with sphagnum peat moss. Sphagnum moss and sphagnum peat moss are not the same product. Sphagnum moss is used in the floral industry to line wire baskets and make wreaths. It is the LIVING moss that grows on top of a sphagnum bog. Sphagnum peat moss is used as a soil...

CATTLEYA KAT-lee-uh Cattleyas are among the most popular Orchids. Their culture is often used as the basis for comparison with other types of Orchids. Cattleyas and their related hybrids come in many colors, shapes, forms and sizes. Culture varies only slightly among most of these. This sheet...

Need some advice for a failing Sarracenia hybrid....parentage unknown, but along the lines of S. leucophylla x purpurea. The plant is a mature plant that I have had for 3-4 years and has been growing fantastically over this period. It has flowered each spring and puts on good sized pitchers and...

Ok, I got Cleary 3336 from this site because I noticed fungal infections here and there on my plants, both carnivorous and noncarnivorous. Can I just dilute each bag with 1 gallon of distilled water, throw the solution into a spray bottle, and start spraying whatever I want to kill or prevent...

With spring approaching (slowly) my plants are perking up and growing. Some of my droserae are now a couple of years old, and it is time for some transplanting and upkeep. My half dollar sized D. dielsiana in its 4 inch pot had roots fully 8 inches long: 4 of them, and thicker than pencil lead...

Well, as many of you know I have been very busy of late, and I finally had time tonight to wipe the dew from the inner wall of my terrarium, only to behold devestation. There is a massive fungal infestation in my terrarium, it's horrible. Tonight, I clipped about pitchers that were a week ago...
