I was wondering those of you that have seen nepenthes in situ, how are the seedlings germinating and reaching maturity in the wild do you think?
The reason I ask is because it seems I have to be quite diligent with my tiny seedlings and about every two or three weeks carefully remove any of the...
Hey CP'ers, I was given a bottle of "Feed Me! Mist" orchid food spray by an orchid growing friend. She knows I don't grow orchids but knows I've used orchid ferts in the past so she prompted me to give it a try. Has anyone else tried this on their Neps? I looked it up and I'm getting the...
I haven't been able to find any information on this. I'm curious what the general TDS tolerance of Roridula is, and if anyone has ever done experiments with soil fertilization with the genus. They certainly seem to grow better for some people than others, and I'm wondering if it comes down to...
I have a Small Nepenthes that I got about a month ago. And it's in a 1 or 2 inch round pot. It is just a little plant now, however, if I wanted it to grow, should I re-pot it now? or wait for it to make some pitchers before I start to think about it. I know it's only been a short while, but I...
So, my Nepenthes is in a pretty small pot, however, I understand that they can be that way. But what I'm thinking is, if I put them in a bigger pot, won't they grow larger? Or should I keep them in there small pot until they start producing pitchers..?
I currently reside in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountain range. Zone 9.
Only until recently have I been intrigued by the beauty of carnivorous plants. Now, I have a chance to grow my own! Hoping to become a vigorous part of the community. I'm also interested in Peppers. Peppers being...
CP Water Germination Experiment
Phase 1 tropical & subtropical species, mostly Drosera
No stratification
When I decided to restart my CP collection I had some seeds stored in my refrigerator for up to 17 years. Some were from the ICPS seedbank and some were from my old collection in the mid to...
I love going up to the LACPS meets cuz I get to go up and meet up with Not a Number, so I headed up today to go say hi! Usually I bring some stuff up, but I had to go empty-handed today because nothing I've got in propagation right now has the proper amount of roots. The meet was at UC...
Drosera ultramafica × spatulata
I find this hybrid to be very hardy and easy to grow. It will get a bright red coloration under good lighting. Caution - it spreads rapidly from seeds. Be warned. Plant is mature sized and may flower later this year. They flower constantly for me once they get...
I'm hoping some of the more experienced Heliamphora growers can give me some help with this.
I'm currently growing two Heliamphora both of which I received at the same time. H. ionasii x heterodoxa has been growing well for me producing large mature pitchers, but H. uncinata has struggled to...
As i look through my greenhouse i have noticed that my Mirabilis var. Globosa is much paler than the rest of my plants. All the plants were moved into the greenhouse a few months ago and have adapted well. Although my "Viking" has grown by leaps and bounds, and is now begining to show signs of...

Up for auction is one seed-grown N. cecilae.
It is roughly 4 inches in diameter and this species appears to grow rather quickly and is not too picky about temps. I have found that it can be grown in the intermediate to highland range. This species produces deep rich maroon and black lower...
I want orchids that have a really good grow ethic! If Bob says, "No rest for the wicked!"... I want him to be talking about my orchids. If you're vaguely interested in what I'm talking about... then you might be interested in my hercuthermal experiment. It's a super fancy experiment. Turns...
