greenhouse

I have various species of Sarracenia, vfts, dews, and pings growing under the same LED light. I am worried that the LED light does not have enough blue and white for vegetative growth. The plants are in a mini greenhouse outside with the plants and the lamp is about 25 inches above the top of...

Hello all, I've been growing carnivorous plants for over 10 years. Most of that time I lived in Brooklyn where my growing area was limited to two small windowsills. I moved upstate a few years ago and my collection has grown exponentially. I am interested in all types of carnivorous plants but...

Hey everyone that reads this. Ok so I know that there are some species of nepenthes, like veitchii, that are epiphytes and grow mounted their entire lives. That being said I think I've seen only one or two in cultivation that grow mounted. I'm curious of why that is. Is it hard? Is it a humidity...

I have a wide variety of VFTs, sarrs, sundews, and a few mexican pings all growing in a mini greenhouse on my patio. Now that daylight savings has occurred I have two options. Keep my plants in direct sunlight for only 4 hours a day or keep them under the same setup I have now: hidden in a...

Hello all, I am looking for lowland/ultra lowland nepenthes. My greenhouse here in Florida seems to be perfect for them. I have many plants from carnivorous plants and orchids. Message me if you have some and I'm sure we can work something out. Thanks everyone. -alex

Last Updated: 3/2/2016 Dalton's Grow List: Venus Fly Trap (x2) - ~2/15/14 Sarracenia - ~2/15/14 * I got the above two plants from a big box store. It was one of those cheap boxes where the plant was half dead. I live in SC, so I just repotted them and put them in water trays. The VFT has done...

Hey everybody, I bought this old lady's orchid/plant collection last week and she had a medium sized n.ventrata. Seeing how I've have a giant one that's taking over my greenhouse rafters I really have no room for this species. I'm not a species snob I just have zero room for plants I have. I...

I noticed that Fluence Bioengineering's web site is finally up (they have announced their products 2 months ago), and they seem to be shipping them. Fluence Bioengineering | Horticulture Lighting Solutions It is the same company as Build My LED, whose LED grow light was tested as one of the most...

Hi! As i said, i'm a bit of a rookie on this. I just bought a new batch of fresh seeds, should arrive next week. I have used a mini greenhouse below a LED RB plantlight, and i have seen many that uses plastic bags so i've started to use that, same way. What is your experience whats best? The...

Hi! My name is Cyrus and I am so happy to be a member of this forum, since I was about 5 I have had a massive interest in carnivorous plants. Now ten years later I have a walk in greenhouse and more plants than I can count😂. So far I am looking to expand my Nepenthes collection and kinda drift...

I have several 6"-8" wide rooted Nepenthes Alata plants. They all have nice pitchers on them and are in great health. The colors on these are super variable with some being almost all red while others are mostly green. Grown in my greenhouse in central FL. I am interested in most if not all...

I moved into an apartment that gets only 1 hour of filtered sunlight a day on the patio. Probably 3-4 when the time change happens. Due to this I started using a 300W LED grow light in my mini greenhouse as artificial lighting. The plants are outside and went dormant in October. I just started...

Hi there. After a pause of almost 10 years in growing CP (new jobs, moving abroad, etc) I'm finally starting again slowly. For now I'm filling a homemade greenhouse in a plastic box (fitted with leds lights) and also growing a Sarracenia outside. After one year it still alive so I think that I...

This is a little intraspecies cross I made using 'Othello' as the pollen donor with my "Venom" ( pet name). Good to see a decent germination. Now all I need is a 50ft x 30ft greenhouse to grow the seedlings on in.

So I don't have a lot, but i'm super proud of my plants. I talk to them and tell them they are doing good. They seem to like it. Here it is: Outdoor: I have four S. purpureas, a couple i lost the tags for, so at this point i call them all purpureas. I have a S. Red throat, a couple Luecophylla...

I am using a mini greenhouse to grow a variety of sarrs, vfts, dews, and pings. Below is the link to the greenhouse I am using. I took out the second shelf and have all my plants on the third shelf. I also plan to put a grow light on the top shelf. The problem I am having is that my new...

Hi guys. I have a small "terrarium" (more of a wood box, really) with my Nepenthes there. The terrarium is 2x2x2 feet. I have 2 CFL bulbs (27w and 32W, the lumen output is nowhere to be seen), 1x13W T5 (740 lumen) and 1x36W PLL (1770 lumen). All the lights are 6500k. They are inside the...

Hi guys! I recieved a couple of N. aristo and other highlands seeds like 4 months ago and now they are starting to germinate. So long some few aristo, dubia and jacquelineae have sprouted but i'm quite excited. I'm from Argentina. Winters are almost perfect for highlanders (lol) but the middle...

In my greenhouse I made two raised beds.. I made them out of landscape timbers. I put a timber on top of each other. so its 8 inches tall but I also used a tiller to rip up the ground under the beds.. What im worried about is treated lumber. There is a lil controversy in if its safe to eat...

So I walked into lowes today, and as usual looked at the plants. They had the usual many almost dead VFTs, but in the back of the $10 row, of course not the $5 row, I saw this little Nep screaming to save him or he'd eat me in the next life. First photo is in the box, second is it re-potted into...
