greenhouse

When I have a greenhouse I'm going to let one of my hamatas grow as large as it wants to. I'll only make cuttings when a vine is mostly brown and the growing point is suffering for it. It occurred to me that I've never seen a large hamata before. The photos people post are almost always of...

My wife tossed this in my greenhouse. No idea what it is. It is about to bloom, and I am sure flowers will make it much easier to id. But I wanted to see if anyone had any idea.

I recently harvested the seed pods from my N. ventricosa x talangensis. They were pollinated with N. x 'Melvino' pollen... So the cross is N. (ventricosa x talangensis) x (spathulata x bongso) harvested from my greenhouse 1/26/14... My specific N. ventricosa x talangensis...

I don't grow in a greenhouse per say. Since 90% of my plants are temperate and I live in zone 6b/7, I just use my greenhouse for dormancy; you know, mostly just keeping the windchill off my little darlings. The last couple seasons this has been achieved with a little pop-up greenhouse that has...

The container slipped from my hand and reacting to keep it from hitting the floor my thumbnail cut the plant off at ground level......S**T! I pulled 3 old leaves from the bottom, put a little hormone on and replanted with a pill cup over the top. Should I continue placing it into the unheated...

So this here is my first seed pod of what I believe to be P. planifolia X 'Pirouette' but I have to say despite my hopes I am a bit skeptical. I was under the impression that P. planifolia could not hybridize with the Mexican pings and if it was to self pollinate it needed pollen from a...

I made my first video showing my nepenthes on the greenhouse. Please excuse the messiness of the algae. I haven't changed the wooden shelves since I bought the greenhouse and I have to change them. A lot of my plants stopped pitchering during the winter, but I hope you enjoy them. Oh! and excuse...

I might have posted some pictures of one of my hamata's early last spring looking all wicked and mean. It responded well to moving into a moss bottomed aquarium with a lid in an unheated room at night but by late May the nights weren't doing the job well enough. I ordered a Magic Chef wine...

Been away for several months so I thought I would stop in with some information on the seeds I planted in late Fall 2012. The seeds and seedlings that did the best were the rafflesiana's and ampullaria's. I wound up with one hirsuta and two albomarginata's. The aristolochioides produced a half...

So, I decided to take some new pics of plants that were looking good, so here are some sticky things from my greenhouse :D : D. rotundifolia: started out as only 5 plants, now they've multiplied and packed each other in D. capillaris FL x intermedia: sent to me as pure capillaris, but the...

Hello, Got this hybrid a while back and since a nice windstorm blew away my first greenhouse covering, it was quite a while till my new one was up and running. Here is one of the newly opening pitchers from a long and healthy readjustment!

I am relatively new to growing sphagnum moss and have several cultures going right now. I have been leaving several trays of it outside in the elements where it freezes solid for an extended time, keep a few in my unheated pop-tent greenhouse with my overwintering Sarracenia and Dionaea, and...

I'm about at that point where I need to expand my Lowland Nepenthes grow area and I'm looking for input to help me avoid possible problems. I'm currently growing them in Exo-terra 24" X 18" X 18" tanks, I've already had to cut a few vines due to height problems and now I'm getting close to the...

My Nepenthes ventrata flowered back in the fall and the pods started swelling before any of my male flowers had opened so I just assumed they were long like that. I checked the greenhouse and saw some of the pods were turning black but a couple were split open and there were seeds inside. I'm...

Hi everyone! I think I finally have enough plants to keep up a little photo thread here for you all :) I set up my first greenhouse about a month ago and the climate change for the plants caused quite a bit of shriveled pitchers while I fine tuned humidity, temp., water, etc. But all the plants...

In general, what is an acceptable temperature range for most Heliamphoras? I have seen a lot of contradictory information out there. Some growers state that night temps of 45f-55f are absolutely mandatory, while recently I have seen a lot of growers having success with constant room temps...

I keep my carnivorous plants in some spare space in a propagation greenhouse at the University I attend. The plants are all watered (by the greenhouse manager) through a fertigation system which delivers water soluble fertilizer through the irrigation system. My plants are on one of the "Do Not...

A local nursery just got some N. sibuyanensis seedlings in, and I've been interested in getting one to grow myself. I have heard that N. sibuyanensis can be a difficult grower for some, and seems to have specific requirements in terms of media, humidity, and light. I have also heard that it is...

This is embarassing, but I thought it might be interesting (?) to show what resulted when I neglected some Heliamphora. Eldercare iossues have demanded a lot of time the past few years, and my plants have suffered. Proper clean up and repotting has not been given enough attention. Anyway...

Gr8oz and I found one of the heliamphoras like this in the greenhouse today. having what looks like a pitcher, on an emerging flower stalk. picture is attached, we just thought it was weird and wondered if anyone had any explanations? http://www.flickr.com/photos/97451358@N07/11277741535/...
