greenhouse

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...

So, I'm planning to purchase the Exo Terra Monsoon RS400 Rainfall System for my terrarium so it can mist my plants when I'm in class and lab all day and I was wondering if anyone has use this device before for their highland terrarium ? I'm also planning to remove the filter on it because I'm...

As a result of my recent move, I'm taking a shot at growing some Heliamphora in the greenhouse, instead of under lights in the basement. The basement is still an option, however. It's no secret that the problem is getting enough light in the greenhouse without "cooking" the plants. It's...

And like most plant folks who live where the snow flies, one of the major limits on what I keep is lighted space. My house doesn't have much window space, and some of what's there is reserved for cats. I have a few set ups with artificial lighting, but still run out of space every winter...

A couple weeks ago I set up a large (2.5ft wide x 5ft long x 7.5ft tall) grow tent in my apartment for lowland Nepenthes and picked up my exotica plants preorder (~20 plants) from a local nursery here in the northeast. I use an 8-tub, 4ft. long T5 HO fixture, and my light levels and temperature...

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...

UGH............................ I'm moving this month out of the current rental and been looking for a new, place. I've spent over a month looking for the perfect house, with the perfect backyard, since my plants are my, priority lol. So I found the perfect house! but not perfect, backyard. It...

Hey everyone! I'm new here, so hopefully I don't stuff up the picture uploads/attaching. I grow highland and intermediate Nepenthes in Melbourne, Aus, in a variety of conditions including outdoor, indoor, terrarium and unheated greenhouse. I'm about to share some pictures of my favorites, so...

Due to my mentioning my interest in CPs I recently was tasked with the care of a Nep at the pond center I'm working at. It grows in definite lowland conditions, daytime highs have been up to 90F, and one morning I came in at 7 and the greenhouse temp was 85F. The plant is doing pretty well I...

I was bored and decided to make a short video of the right & back side of the greenhouse. This is the hottest month, so not all of my plants are making pitchers. sorry about the quality. I will make a better one this weekend of the whole Greenhouse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAKRMBTes5g

Almost done with college so have more time now. Read several books, forum posts, and blogs than decided to do this again. Ideally by the end Nov, I will have a greenhouse set up in my backyard. USDA zone 9B July Temperature Day 75-85 Night 55-60 Humidity Day 20-50% Night 60-80%...

Hello all, I don't have a lot of different Dionaea varieties yet, but at least a couple are doing well here. Currently I have 3 different typical clones two of them rescues from Lowes and one a cross between the two, and I also have 'Dentate Traps' and a couple young 'Akai Ryu' plants. Here are...

I am going to build a new greenhouse later this year as I have run out of room and I want to increase my water pressure. The old one is rectangle, about 5M long/ 2.8M wide and 2.8M tall, I use misters that run off the house on timers, the house water is from a bore that feeds to a tank then...

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...

This past Saturday we had one of our most interesting meetings to date. Mat Opel was kind enough to host our June meeting at the UCONN greenhouses which he oversees and maintains. Here are some pitiful pics of a small part of their collection. Greeting you right at the door of the Life Sciences...

Hello! I have lots of pings, dews and orchids to trade for some tropical utrics Really want the top 2 on the list thanks so much!!!!!!!M :D U.humboldtii U.reinformis U.neumblifolia U.quelchii U. Asplundii

Peter and some of the crew were busy so I didn't have time to speak, but thats what being the biggest nursery in the US will do to ya. Damon was only a stone's throw away and was attentive and we had good conversation. After about 10 years of growing CP's it only takes 5 minutes to learn...

Apologies in advance if this has been covered before. I did search the forum first. I promise :-). I successfully germinated Drosophyllum lusitanicum early this year (thanks again, Mike W. for the seeds), and the plants have transitioned nicely from their seedling peat pots to large clay pots...

So I have a couple of nepenthes, but is feel that I can't reasonably provide the temperature drops they want, being that it will start to get too warm at night for nature to provide it for them anymore (highlander hybrid and ventricosa). So I was hoping to perhaps get a very small, portable...
