I have a couple of D. rotundifolia leaf cuttings that have been sitting for about 3 weeks now, I put them in June 27. I think there might be a little bit of mold growing in there but it's hard to tell for sure. They are in a little ziplock hard plastic container with plastic wrap over the top. I...

Hi
Has anyone attemped growing Nepenthes (highland or lowland) in a hydroponic environment as this is an experiment I would like to try with my nepenthes ventricosa (highland). Somehow I think that it would not work with the highland and I would like this clarified.
From what I gather the...
I was just wondering if I needed to go buy some sort of fungicide when I put my vft through dormancy. Does anyone have any information or suggestions on what kind of fungicide to use?
I have used Neem oil in a spray for treatment of scale on Nepenthes without problem. Tonight I noticed Walmart is selling a 70% concentrate solution as a fungicide (to be used at 2 tablespoons per gallon, sorry for the use of English measurments!). Has anyone used this as a preventative...
My F.V.T. have black spot fungus. I am applying fungicide, but I'm not getting good plant coverage. The spray just seems to bead off my plants. What can I use to get the plant covered. Is a thach spreader ok of V.F.T.s? It is suppose to make it stick to the plant.
Hi,
Recently I posted a message on my recently aquired N. ovata.
Here is a current photo of it
As it is still green at the base and there is now the smallest sign of the leaf unfurling I am leaving it as it is. I have repotted it and the roots seemed okay. Is there anything else you would...
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!
Ok, so I have to run a dehumidifier in the basement, and I have to empty it every couple of days, since I'm lazy and haven't gotten to installing it properly with a drain...
...and I came up with the idea of using the water that I'm grabbing out of the air and using it for my CP's.
Now, I'm...
I put my VFT's in hibernation on January 14. So so late. But I was afraid to do it without fungicide. My question is. When can I pull them out of it? I checked them the other day to see if they still had moisture. They are looking fine. But I am wondering if I am screwing up their cycle by...
My new D. capensis is doing surprisingly well and growing rapidly. It has recently lured 2 spiders to their deaths. The leaf around each spider now looks like a grey Q-tip. The fuzzy growth concerns me. Is the fungus detrimental to the health of my sundew? If so, please tell me the name of a...

Air Pump. i use a few of these to circulate the air. they are supposed to be used for aquariums.
Bloodworms. to feed the plants
Bricks. to raise the trays to the light.
Fogger. makes humidity higher...
I seem to be developing a problem with my pygmy gemmae. I have so far lost one D. Stellifolia and two D. Dicrhosepla to some kind of fungus. I am aware that gemmae need higher humidity in order to 'gemmanate' but now they have developed a few petioles each is it time to reduce the humidity? Why...
Upon close insepection of my plants today I noticed some very small white or yellowish white things which wander all surfaces of the plant. They don't seem to sit stationary for too long. I have used clear tape to nab most of them and now I've just misted the two plants down with Shultz brand...
...it's almost like I'm a full time student or something, oh yeah, I am. LOL!
Sorry for not being around, it's been crazy this semester. Anyhow, I see we have a forum upgrade, nice. How has everyone been? I have plant news to blab on again.

I just ordered a few VFTs and have a lot of questions about them. I will greatly appreciate it if anyone can answer them.
If I take good care of my VFT plants and follow the recommended tips on this site, how long can I expect them to last?
Also, I have read from many web sites that I will...
