In the comming summer vacation,I 'll have to leave the dormitory for at least two months and therefore nobody is going to take care of my ceph during that period of time. I do wonder,whether it 'd be possible for ceph to survive under the following conditions for two months.
1. Here in Shanghai...
So, with the warmer weather, and a rather strange day...Rain, sun, rain, sun.....
things are beginning to liven up around here...
As some of you know, Western Washington is known for its temperate rainforests...
we have a small chunk out back, so my gf and i went on a walk through some trails...
Okay so about a month and a half back, the two Cape Sundews that I had were infected with some damp-off. I used a fungicide to get rid of it, and although it got rid of the fungus, it terribly damaged the plants. Their leaves burned up and one plant shrunk, while sadly, the other died. When I...
My Aztekium ritterii is in bloom, I don't think I've seen pics of it's flower before so here's one I took myself!
This is actually the smaller of my two grafted clones which is blooming. I think this one is about 1.5", the bloom is probably 1/4" across. There are some new offsets forming as...
Hey everyone,
I haven't been on in a while, but I just thought I'd share what I've been working on for a little while.
I started an internship back in December with a professor that is friends with my family, and while I was doing that, I saw that a member here was giving away seeds. We were...
I have a few pots of small sundews and seedlings that share the same water tray and today while I was top watering I noticed tons of tiny worm-like bugs all over the soil. I would have never noticed them, but they were floating on top of the water as it was draining through the pots. They look...
Hey guys, I ended up putting my Neps that were in my terrarium in their own individual pots that sits on two layers. The first layer is about 4" of expanded clay and the second is a very thick bed of LFS moss. I got some live stuff and put that on top, hoping to grow it so as to improve the...
Ok so i ordered a Dentate trap from flytrapshop and it came in on saturday (yesterday) In pretty sad shape. All of the plants leaves were drooping and i went to feed it later that day (as i noticed all of its traps were open and i wasnt sure when it was last fed) And its trap closed very slowly...
i would like to start by saying i found this on www.thegardenhelper.com . this is not my work, it is that of the person who posted this on the site mentionned above. I thought it is EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE and makes defining easy by using plain old english, and not technical terms!
Please, ENJOY...
I've been having MAJOR problems with algae, fungus, mold, etc in my little grow rack and it has been suggested several times that it could be due to poor air flow. I have a humidifier in the rack itself and had hoped that the movement from that would be enough air circulation, but alas, I still...
Hey everybody,
I'm sure some of you remember my "ventricosa bush" as I liked to call it, but recently I have had to take drastic measures...
This is what it used to look like. But even in this photo you can see the tiny problem that I too overlooked.
After trimming the plant back to one...
I'm not real great with Neps and was wondering what is wrong with mine. I've looked through tons of posts here but haven't found anything to give me a good answer. I'm not sure whether it's just getting too much sun (east window), too cold, mites, a fungus, needing fertilizer (hasn't had...

Sarracenia are fun to grow from seed...
I mostly grow North American CPs and since most of my collection is dormant, I haven’t had a chance to feed them in a long time. However, my D. capensis is still actively growing and told me it was hungry for something bigger and tastier than fungus gnats. So I went ahead and fed it yesterday...
I posted this on CPUK forum but i am trying to get as much info on this as possible so those who have already read this...forgive me:-)
I grow my plants in terrarium but this contribution to the forum is not as much about terraria as it is about artificial feeding of CPs so if needed please move...
I have these webs on my pings. I thought they were spider mites but I can't see any of the mites even under a magnifying glass. I have tried tapping leaves with white paper under them and still have not found what is making these webs. I have had mites in the past and they are easy for me to...
I took a trip to Forks last April...here are some pics

The forest floor
This is a boardwalk that went through a boggy area to a cliff overlooking the sea...
Just some forest brush
What, no rotundifolia!!! an outrage I tell you!

I live in central Texas where winters give temps ranging from 20s on the colder days and the 40s and 50s on average. Last night it got near freezing and today it will get near 70. I'm overwintering my plants outside and providing protection on the coldest nights. Since they get good air...
This is my spec x mira. I've had it for 7 months. It arrived in real bad shape - the bag it was in was ripped open and the plant was very wilted, the roots completely dry. Anyway, a month later it was fine, and started to unfurl new leaves. It's done great until about a month ago. Then I...
