garden

HEY folks! S0 I had a thread a little while ago about my Biolapse project where I am filming timelapse clips of carnivorous plants as they grow and develop. I had received a lot of great tips and advice, and the plants appear to be healthy and they are currently taking a break after a full...

I've been on this forum a couple of time but I suppose it's time for a somewhat formal introduction... So, my name is Danny and I'm addicted to carnivorous plants, especially nepenthes. I used to be a normal biology student with a small interested in carnivorous plants ( I grew a Venus Fly trap...

Recently I was at my local garden center and was pleased to see a variety of cps ( VFTS, S.purperea, S.rubra, P.primuliflora, D.spathulata. And wouldn't you know it they were all covered in what some refer to as "death domes". The pings were all flowering and the VFTS looked happy, the drosera...

The New England Carnivorous Plant Society will be hosting our 1st annual pre show to our huge annual fall extravaganza on August 9th and 10th at Lake Street Garden Center in Salem New Hampshire ! All are invited to attend and encouraged to bring plants for public display ! Come if you can, it's...

i want to do a into bog garden using aquariums, and like could i adapt this for inside, and just use the right type of light system? and what about the sand?

Hi plant community, I am looking for a few good carnivorous plant varieties (Sarracenia, Dionaea, D. filiformis or any other species that would be suitable) for a container bog garden I am creating on campus. Thank you for your support and I will gladly reimburse for shipping cost. :hail:

Here's a slideshow of the Desert Garden at The Huntington in Pasadena, California, which I visited recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ec8n-Zols9U

I have a purple pitcher plant in full sun, small tray of water and 3x3x4 inch pot. After it got here, most of the pitchers where dead so I cut it back save one. It put out two new ones since I had it, but they are only half the size of the old one and are green rather than red. Should it be...

Pictures and Questions, that is! Learned a few new things in a thread started by Jimscott, so I decided to make a new thread to show some pictures, and ask some questions. At any rate, I offered seeds from a plant that probably won't produce any viable seeds :blush: (not knowing any better -...

I would like to repot my capensis soon, I am leaving for awhile Saturday and leaving the feeding and watering up to the family so I would like fresh and clean soil to reduce complications. I am having a very difficult time looking for small bags of sphagnum peat. I found beach sand at Lowes...

There are a couple reasonably local botanical gardens that have carnivorous plants in their collections... The closest one (Matthaei) has a couple Sarrs, in with some VFT's and Drosera. And a hybrid unidentified Nep or two. The farther, but nicer one (Frederik Meijer) has a much broader...

Hey Guys! I don't post very often, but have enjoyed reading what everyone has learned about cps through the forums. As Dragoness has just demonstrated...sarracenia can be pretty tough. Many other forum members here have also shown off their bogs in areas normally too cold for most cps (which I'd...

Last year, I decided to buy a Rubbermaid style plastic tote, sink it in the ground, and put Sarracenias and VFT's in it. It worked great, but looked a little too redneck... for my tastes anyways. Come fall, I trimmed off the taller pitchers, and put the lid on the tote, and buried it under a...

Well the title says it all. Over the weekend, now that school is out, there have been a lot of restless individuals in the neighborhood where a friend of mine lives. This friend of mine permits me to keep a small garden of temperate CPs on his back porch knowing that I am in between...

So lately I've noticed something disturbing in my bog. After a strong start to the growing season, many of my plants seem to be suffering from untimely demises. This is my second year with the bod garden so I'm not sure what's wrong as the situation hasn't changed since last year with the...

My technological situation dictates that embedding a photo at this time is not going to happen. I'll try to do it later or if you're seriously interested, I can email it. I am relocating my bog garden and want to make some room. I have a few of these plants available and at least one is...

So at my girlfriend's apartment there is a nice section that used to be a garden but was overgrown with weeds. We decided to rip up all the weeds and get a nice veggie garden going. I reserved the last section of fence, just the the left of the azalea bush for a bog garden, this area gets the...

Another Arisaema I left out all winter in its pot (UK). I moved it into a very shaded part of the garden in early spring and it appears to love it down there. I've grown Arisaema for many years but never so shaded as I am this year. Arisaema speciosum

I'm (extremely) new to the hobby, though my enthusiasm for CP's goes back nearly 20 years (how can that be!?). As such, I've accumulated a teeny-tiny collection, while simultaneously devouring every F.A.Q., discussion, tutorial, opinion, etc. on the cultivation of CP's in general. I also own...

Hello everyone. I've been lurking for a while, but this is my first post; tell me if I'm doing anything wrong! I have one of those typical garden centre neps. It was labeled as alata, but as far as I understand that is often not accurate. When I do a google image search, I see plants that look a...
