hey, I have a newbie question. my rafflesiana has a pretty bad case of rust spot. I ordered some Cleary through petflytrap.com, and it came yesterday, but didn't include directions for using it. should I mix it up in water and spray it on, and if so in what proportions?

Hey folks, I'm wondering what you guys have done to fight fungus gnats? I've got them hopping out of several plants like crazy in my lowland chamber (a big Hedychium ginger and my Alocasia robusta) those little strips of flypaper they sell (sticky stakes) are not helping much. I bought...

Hi guys, Today I realised that my newest, emerging Ceph pitcher is slightly black. The very tiny forming pitcher, that is. I then proceeded to cut the rotted leaves of the Ceph and accidentally snipped out a part of a non-carnivorous leaf in the process. What was surprising was that the...

I'm wondering if D. multifida's powers of resurrection are anything like D. capensis. Over spring break I accidentally left my multifida over in my parents house. My mother has something of a black thumb so I'm not sure to what conditions the plant was exposed. I do know that she put it out once...

I have two small angelfish in a ten gallon tank (I know, too small).  they have a small amount of white fuzz on top of their heads (where the hump is on the male).  Should I use a fungicide, and if so, which one?  The other fish (four neon tetras and a small cat) don't seem to have this.  thanks...

Hey everyone, I had a quick question to ask.  Every year during the end of dormacy or in the spring a few perfectly healthy vft's out of my collection randomly gets mushy and turn a yellowish color on the outside of the bulb and slowly infects the entire plant.  Its a 50/50 chance that the plant...

I am starting a few Sarracnia seed soon and I need to apply a fungicide. What brand is suitable? I cannot find any of the ones mentioned in The Savage Garden. I looked at some in a Wal-Mart garden center. It listed Captan as one ingredient but also said it contained petroleum distillates. Is...

There are mushrooms and other fungus growing on my mint seedlings. I water them about once a week and have them in a south window but I don't know why it is growing on them. I was going to pull the mushrooms out and spray some of my Cleary 3336 on it. The thing is when they get big enough I will...

I have two small cephs I recently purchased.  One has developed some white powder-looking substance on parts of a few leaves.  The white powder-like stuff is very fine so not a bug.  I suspect a fungus type thing.   My question is- Is this normal or should I use some fungicide and wipe on the...

Basically I created a bog garden inside of a 18" watering tray. It features: -A sloping landscape -2 small "ponds" or water holes -NZ LFS mixed with sand exclusively (which means no peat moss) -2 inches of water -A Bubble Wand beneath the surface to keep the plants, water, and soil aerated...

So I have been growing CPs now for a couple years now and the hardest part for me is dormancy. See I live in Ohio where it usually gets rediculously cold during the winter and as such I lose a lot of plants every year. This year I aquired a minifridge for the sole purpose of safely getting my...

ok i got some issues with a white fluffy-filament type mold/fungus and a green slime. Now I ve read that the slime can be spooned off the top. But the other stuff needs a sulfer based fungicide. I also read that cinnamon can help with these issues. So i was wondering if garlic powder would...

It is my Christmas present to all you guys. I know they sound cool to have but please only take them if you think you can grow them. If you already grow Drosophyllum please let someone else have them. This is for people in the US only. I have 24 packs of Drosophyllum seeds up for grabs. Each...

Hi Everyone, I am back with a bunch more silly newbie questions. However first an update. My VFT is in the refrigerator. It is in a large ziplock bag. The inside of the bag is moist and hopefully all is good. Here are the questions: 1. When should I take the VFT out? Two fold question here...

I recently went searching the internet to see if there was anything just around the house that I could use as a fungicide. And on about 4 or five sites they said that if you mix cinnamon into your soil or put it on the surface it would kill fungus. Has any one else used of heard of this? I'm...

What brand of fungicide does everyone on here use? I have been told to use a sulfur based brand but I read some labels and can't tell what is what. Mark W.

Dormancy is coming up, and instead of having half my dormant plants die off during dormancy, I'm gonna try to have them not die. What kind of fungicide should I use throughout dormancy and exactly how should I use it for VFTs, S. minor & S. purpurea? THANKS.

The following is the technique used by Wild Bill to protect his plants during the winters of Connecticutt.  Perhaps some of you can benefit from his tips: I'm in Connecticut where we get lots of snow and freezing temps in the winter.  Here's what I did last October and it worked very well; only...
