Hello, my name is Nick :)
I live in Richmond, Michigan. I currently have a small indoor greenhouse rigged with lights and a homemade humidifier for Nepenthes and any other tropical cp's I find to like, along with a couple cacti. I have a few sarracenia/temperate sundews/VFT's that are going...
First, my apologies to all whom are owed something from me (mostly email / PM responses but possibly more in some cases).
Second, I hate internet drama & this message may come across as some permutation of that - so, once again, my apologies.
My wife & I have been planning for many years to...
I got into CPs while working for the SC Dept. of Natural Resources. My work brought me into contact with carnivorous plants in their natural habitat here in SC. I just become enamored with them. I met a propagator on assignment once and he sent me home with a mini bog garden. I've been growing...
One of my Nepenthes decided to check and see if the grass was greener on the outside of the greenhouse. I saw it when it was first traveling outside and figured what the heck, lets see what happens! And today I noticed that the pitcher seems to have formed just fine. Maybe because it's not...
Personal Collection:
Cephalotus follicularis
Darlingtonia Californica
Heliamphora minor
Sarracenia jonesii

Nepenthes truncata
Nepenthes veitchii "Hose Mountains"
Nepenthes truncata x maxima "mini" seedlings

So I have a small section of deck maybe 4x4 that is partially shaded but gets bright light and I think it would be ideal for growing Drosera, Heliamphora and a few other assorted CP's but I'm not certain what the best way to enclose it would be.It has a 3 ft. High railing in place that should...
Hello,
Does anybody have a good method of germinating Darlingtonia seeds? This will be my second time after 0% the first time. I cold stratified for 3 weeks and sowed in peat/perlite mix under mist last time.
This time will be stratified for 4 weeks and then in a tray under lights (I have...
Just for fun placing this species side by side. Unfortunately the pitcher of the N. robcantleyi got bruised when I was cleaning the greenhouse and knocked it over a week ago.:censor:

Nepenthes robcantleyi and N. truncata
I am in charge of the CP's in the greenhouse at my university (this will be my second year actually) and many of the labels are either faded or missing. I'm more of a Sarracenia and Nep guy, so I need a bit of help identifying some Drosera and Pinguicula. Please excuse the weeds...part of trying...
Short update on my intermedia and highland nepenthes. I live in Florida and this is the hottest time of the year, therefore, not many pitchers form. Hope you enjoy! HERE IS THE LINK TO THE VIDEO OF THE GREENHOUSE:

I visited the Oregon Garden in Silverton, Oregon for the first time yesterday, expecting to find a number of different CPs. Here is what I was able to locate:
A small bog next to the children's garden in the "weird plants" section. The plants look quite new and not particularly healthy to...
I have some plants that I have been waiting to take pics of. I pulled them from the greenhouse a little early and most stopped growing. I have a Bical pitcher I'm excited about, but it is a little wonky.:-( I have a couple more, but I want to wait till they look more presentable.

Happy birthday to me! :boogie:
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting Kevin (theplantman) and exploring the greenhouse that he curates. I ended up going home with a bunch of cuttings and more seed than I could ever sow, so I am going to share the generosity that others have shown me...
For all of you who were expecting an amazing display of horticultural wonders, I sincerely apologize. A few years ago, I took a trip to DC and only saw a single terrarium housing some light-starved Sarracenia and Dionaea. I returned recently, full of optimism, eager to see to what was hopefully...
I have been neglecting my Sarracenia Clusters of photos, time for a night excursion.
(Sorry pictures suck. IT was really dark with a bad flashlight.)
I thought the greenhouse would be the best location for my bog plants,
But its not so. A good amount of light is lacking, so next season im...
Does anyone here do this? I know a guy who does this with a Hamata and a Jamban and he has success with it. When I say "windowsill", by the way, I mean any plant that is NOT grown in either a terrarium/chamber or a greenhouse. The particular guy I'm talking about has growlights, but he still...
I'm in the market for a greenhouse. I'm wondering if you guys could recommend a quality maker ? What are you guys using? nd what would you recommend I stay away from? The size I'm looking for is at least 10 feet wide, 14 at the max and somewhere between 16-20 feet long.
Looking forward to...
I would like to ask,
1. What plants do you grow?
2. What setup are they in (terrarium inside, outside au naturel, outside in greenhouse, etc.)?
3. Artificial lights or sun, and the amount of hours directly exposed to the sun and/or bulb(s)
4. Potting mix (rough estimate... 1:1 peat: perlite...
Hello TerraForums,
Well after loosing all my plants in 2009 after having a heart attack and ending up staying in the hospital for 6 months I was to upset/depressed about loosing my rather extensive collection of Neps and Cephs to to try and start all over again at that time. Well not I'm...
