fungus

I've been using this stuff, and I have to say that it is pretty sucky. However, it does do its job, but it gets irritating when you have to filter out sticks and leaves. This brand also isn't sterile, so you should microwave it or somehow sterilize it before using it. It is also very hard to...

Decided it was time to repot a large x Red Leopard that was overwhelming the chili pepper plant it was growing up. It also needed to be moved because of low light levels on that side of the house this time of year. When I removed its pot (which was inside a much larger pot containing the chili...

I may regret this, but I could actually use some D capensis if anybody wants to part with them. Any sundews really (except binatas). I'm rebuilding my collection and only have one small pot of alba capensis. I know-wait a couple months and that'll turn into 183,000 but I'd rather have a...

About to bare root my vft and pitcher plant for storage in the fridge for the winter. I need opinions on whether to just trim dead parts off plants before spraying with fungicide or cut the whole top off the plants. Since they will be "asleep" with no light, will the green parts just encourage...

Here is my Tent-House that my tropicals will be spending winter in. It consists of a cheap 4 shelf tent-rack with 2 cheap 24" light strips mounted inside and one of the same sitting atop the tent. The bulbs have been replaced with 50/50 bulbs that have a reflective backing inside the bulb. It...

For the past three years now I have trimmed back my Sarrs and placed them into the refrigerator when winter came around. It wasn't until I joined this group that I realized they could survive in a bog outside where I live (Nebraska: zone 5b) if special care was taken. Next year I plan to do...

So, I got a bare-root ventricosa as an impulse buy several weeks ago. It showed up looking pretty sickly, so I rinsed the roots with RO, rinsed the leaves with an alcohol solution and potted it up in pure, clean, LFS. I'm awaiting an improvement, but I figured I'd run it by you guys for a proper...

Hello! I just got two new plants today and one came with this: It was only on this dead leaf and I looked through both plants and did not see anything else. So my question is what is it? And do I have to worry...

hey guys i was wondering if any of you use trichoderma fungus on nepenthes roots to prevent root rot and encourage healthy root growth

I live in Nebraska where the winters are horrendous and no carnivorous plant would survive. We're talking deep freeze for weeks. I've been raising VFTs and Sarracenia for a couple years now and the hibernation method I use for them has been successful: starting around late October I place them...

I have 1 minor hybrid(I think noid is the proper term) that started to do poorly. I was a decent sized rhizome but the pitchers started dropping. I pulled it and after inspection that one side of the rhizome is squishy and rust colored..... but only half of it. After some research it seems it...

Hi all. The last few leaves on my P. "Pirouette" are a little deformed on the edges. I don't see any obvious pests. The plant is near a south facing window on the tray system with no more than an inch of water at a time. As far as potential pests, I have had these funny tiny black larvae-like...

Help! return of the pest w/ pics how do they get into a nearly sealed chamber!? driving me crazy.....im not enthusiastic about repotting either since my echinostoma was comatose for almost 2 months. based off what i have read it seems to be a combination of aphids and fungus gnat larva. they...

I am looking for these two sisters. My adelae got attacked by fungus gnats and hasn't quite bounced back. I would perfer a vigorous growth adelae that's been grown under low light( long green leaves). But will take any. If you have these please pm me so that we can work out a trade.

Hello! I would like to share with you my humble collection of CPs :) all my plants are basicly new in my collection (just started) and they are accomodating. Criticism is welcome :) tell me what to improve. Yesterday I was fighting with fungus in terra, hope it will be ok now. Nepenthes...

Ok guys, what the heck is this??? At first I flipped out that it was mealies, so I douced everything with Bayer spray. Nothing. Few days later, I soaked everything with Sulfur spray.. and that seemed to help for a while.. Then it just comes right back maybe a week later on the same plants.. I...

Hi, Awhile back I obtained some mature plants from a house where an estate sale was being held. I kept a few, sent out a few in trade. Yesterday, I noticed that on one a seed pod had formed and matured and turned brown. It split open and appears to be have lots of seeds, small and thin...

I've had VFTs for a few years now, and I know about how they get burnt-looking if you rescue one from Lowe's and throw it in the sun, and they always come back making leaves that tolerate the sun. But I have VFTs that look burnt on flower stalks, and one looks burnt on every leaf. They've been...
