    S.Purpurea is freaking out :(

    Why is it making all these deformed pitchers! Ignore the dormancy ones from last year. Could it have something to do with a current fungus attack?

    Pretty Down:/

    So after seeing 3 individual seedlings from 6 different sets of nep seed in a humidity dome sprout, only 1 is left and i thought it was from fungus. I sprayed them today, and while spraying the fungus with a hydrogen peroxide mix, a lot of little brown bugs started scurrying all over the media...

    Question

    Hi all- I have a small terrarium with young VFT, N American Pitchers & sundews growing in it. I am seeing some spots of mold oping up, is it ok for me to sprinkle some cinnamon in there for fungus control? My plants are very young and I can't move them. Any suggestions?

    My moss is your gain! (Giveaway)

    Not much to say here, I accidentally ordered way too much Spanish Moss online and need to get rid of a lot of it. If you want some, post here. Spanish Moss (Tillandsia usneoides) is a subtropical bromeliad, closely related to the air plants you see in the store. It's not a real moss, nor a...

    U. sandersonii

    Was wondering if anyone knows if this is normal growth for sandersonii. Doesn't seem to be producing normal leaves. Those slender, off colored looking leaves. At first I thought it was due to an infestation of fungus gnats (larvae). Put some mosquito dunks and I didn't see any after that and...

    For Trade: Reed Stem Epidendrum Seeds (Crucifix Orchid Seed)

    Hello TF, Just fishing for responses here, but would anyone be interested in a couple thousand seeds from my reed stem Epidendrum orchids? These guys are one of the easiest orchids to grow and they can be grown outside in part to full sun along with your CPs. I bet these would be better to grow...

    Project Repot all finished...

    I bought a ton of clear Rand Aircone pots recently with repotting my pings in mind. I know they probably wont benefit from it TOO much, but they look pretty darn snazzy. :) I went with an all mineral media, of about 2:1:1 Aps, coarse sand, and pumice, with added Iron Oxide, and topped most with...

    Small orange spots, rust or paranoia?!

    So I've noticed some tiny orange spots on the leaves of some of my plants... theyre only on older leaves, so I'm unsure if its rust fungus thing or not. Here's some pictures, the spots might be hard to see as theyre so small and my camera is ridiculously bad at close ups... Thanks for any...
