hood

Is anyone here keeping a nano reef of inverts, corals and so on in a tank 10 gallons or less? got pics? I found a series of vids on youtube by Indo Pacific Sea farms about setting up an eco-friendly DIY 10 gallon nano using a $29 tank, hood and filter combo kit...

I found this sucker on my Sarracenia minor x psittacina yesterday. I identified it as Phaneroptera nana - Mediterranean Katydid. It was introduced to California and can be found in the San Francisco and Hollywood area. Sightings have been reported in New York too. I fed her to my S. rosea...

Well as my S. x 'purple people eater' is growing rapidly larger and producing bigger pitchers, it is beginning to show its separation from other pitcher plants that I've seen and why it will be a beautiful plant once it fully matures. Here are some pictures showing the progress and changes...

its quite funny to think i tried growing my plants like this, though it was only for a short time and it did not work by any means at all LOL, so this is going to be quite interesting to see peoples reactions to this xD so this is how it started Back in December of 07 i believe.. the lighting...

Got a new pitcher plant coming Monday, one most may not have heard of, at least I know I haven't. It's called S. x 'purple people eater, an unknown hybrid. The site I am getting it from had this to say about it. Couldn't find any pictures of it or much info on Google, but I am very excited...

Is this my Cephalotus's first mature pitcher? Or even an almost mature pitcher? I will explode of happiness if it is...I've had this plant for over a year now, and it seems like it's finally time to make bigger pitchers. :) This pitcher seems different than the others that are forming. It's...

Hi,im thinking of setting up a 3 foot tank terranium to grow highland nepenthes around december this year. Ive got an empty 3 foot tank thats not in use in the garage but no hood and stand. I was wondering would a twin 3 foot light tube set be adequate lighting for the tank? I think its 36...

Just finished up on my first nep grow chamber. This one is my lowland chamber... or highland... not sure yet, I have to build the second chamber in a couple of weeks. I am still debating whether or not to sacrifice looks for efficiency, the side glass panels let out a lot of light but I will...

Follow-up to my previous post that contains pics of the same plants from two weeks ago. Those photos can be viewed here. The tiny dark "dot" barely visible on the lower-inside-center of the hood in the first picture is a small garden spider spinning a web.

Up for auction is a mature division of my recently registered hybrid 'Reptilian Rose'. Thanks Pyro!! Please see the March 2009 issue of the ICPS Bulletin for pics and description. What makes this plant so special aside from it's huge size, deep rose/pink pitchers, huge flaring hood and...

i would like to start by saying i found this on www.thegardenhelper.com . this is not my work, it is that of the person who posted this on the site mentionned above. I thought it is EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE and makes defining easy by using plain old english, and not technical terms! Please, ENJOY...

Hi everyone, I am thinking of getting a small saltwater tank (12gal) for a few fish and have seen that Aquapod and Nanocubes both have one of that size. They look nice because they have everything contained in the hood making it less work in theory. I am wondering if anyone has experience...

I am interesting in adding some more Sarracenia to my small collection (especially hybrids), and thus I have been trying to find reading material that describes the growing tendencies and characteristics of Sarracenia hybrids, but have had little to no luck. Barry Rice's Growing Carnivorous...

i present: Bear in Camp! Ken Howell "Bear in camp!" I yelled as I shucked my sleeping bag. Some camp -- each of us lay wherever he could find two trees to string his mosquito bar between. Still, it was our home on the trail, and nobody wanted to share it with the bear that was trying to...

Isn’t it crazy how time flies? With autumn here it’s really gotten me (and my plants) “light headed”! Hope you enjoy these few photos of some of my plants!! note: Just wanted to drop in special thank you to all of you who have inspired me in this obsession of growing CP - you know who y'all...

Hey everybody. Thanks to a text message from obregon562, I hurried over to my local Trader Joe's market and scored these two awesome sarras-for 9$ each! Im pretty sure the first one is purpureaXflava but the second one im not sure about. I know this could fall under the identity category but I...
