    Male N. ventricosa flowering

    Hey all. I coaxed my first Nepenthes into flowering. Of course it had to be what looks like a N. ventricosa that I rescued from a Lowe's deathcube. Would anyone like the pollen for a cross? If not, I'll take advice on how to ship pollen properly. Here are some images of the plant: Ignore...

    Hey all, I have a number of questions that I would like to be answered, and I have been saving them all up untill now. Just for you ;). I thought I wouldn't waste forum space with about 10 questions in a period of, like, a week. :P Anyway, 5 problems/identifications! 1) My Nepenthes x Ventrata...

    Highland Chamber setup 2.0

    I had "quit" Nepenthes and all growing of plants in late 2006 early 2007 but I have been slowly sucked back in starting with succulents in 2009 and vivariums in 2010 and now (inevitably) here is my new Highland Nepenthes chamber. It's based on the same principle as my old one but using a new...

    Looking for advice on expanding collection

    Hi all, I've been keeping carnivorous plants for about a year (and stalking these forums almost as long). In the past, I've had success mostly with keeping plants outdoors (VFT, Sarracenia mutts, temperate sundews), although I've had a N. sanguinea doing wonderfully for me growing right besides...

    Hello everyone:). I recently received some fresh Cephalotus follicularis seeds from a friend in AU. He sent seeds from a typical and a HG. I put them in a mix of sand, perlite, peat and chopped LFS and put them in with my Cephalotus follicularis on Feb 23rd. Hopefully, they will germinate. Wish...

    hi from central mass

    Hi, Love the forum. A lot of good info here. Long time fan of CPs. Had a small but enjoyable collection of sundews, neps, pitchers for a while, but had to give them all away a few years back due to moves and whatnot. Looking forward to getting back into it again now. Taking the long route...

    Cephalotus Watering Methods

    Hi all, I'm waiting on some C. follicularis seeds to germinate and I'm trying to figure out how I should water them to avoid the infamous Cephalotus sp. sudden death syndrome. So far I've eliminated the typical tray method as well as any other methods that leave the roots soaked for prolonged...

    Germinating Mammillaria theresae seed

    I'm going to again try to germinate some Mammillaria theresae seed. So far, I haven't been able to get these seeds to germinate for me, but I want to finally get over the hump with these seeds that known for being one of the trickier species to germinate. I've done some reading up on the...

    Micropropagation/Tissue Culture - seed germination

    When I was still in college, back in the late 1980's, I had some older, abused seed that I surface sterilized and sowed in vitro. Most of the different species I tried this with had fairly good germination after a month, and I eventually transplanted them into typical media and grew them in more...

    OK OK, I caved

    I just expanded my grow rack in a hostile takeover of spare shelf space that wasn't being used. Before: After: My girlfriend will hate me for this! Just picked up 2 24" fixtures, each with 2x 20W T12 bulbs @ 1200 lumens each. Right now I just have some seed pots in there that I'm trying...

    I have three LEGIT Cephalotus 'Eden Black' seeds for trade. The purpose of this is to give another experienced grower the opportunity to grow this amazing cultivator.

    Pink seedlings?

    Hey y'all - About a month and a half ago, I mixed some D. indica and D. spatulata "Fraser Island" seeds together in a pot to germinate. Both varieties germinated in force. But I'm struck by the pink coloration on the D. indica seedlings. Have a look: What concerns me is that I have some...
