hood

First off, I thought I would post some pics of my N. Gracilis. I had a really big pitcher on it but was kinda late in taking a pic of it so the hood is starting to sink but that is ok. The plant as a whole is doing well though. Is there a specific way that I can coax it to produce more basil...

When I think of cobra lillies...I think of Arums. Funny thing about those common names. An interesting article follows: Bug-eating beauties Wayside on Oregon coast is devoted to the protection of carnivorous cobra lilies By Typh Tucker The Associated Press   FLORENCE, Ore. - Marina Wycoff...

I'm making a humidity hood for my plant growing shelf out of clear vinyl shower curtains. I need to know what adhesives bond well to vinyl, because parts of it are currently held together with tape, pending a good adhesive. advTHANKSance

Hello everyone! I'm very upset cuz' I can't find any light fixture that can hold up to 2 light tubes for my 30 galon aquarium! Every hood only contains a single light bulb when its perfectly clear that I need two kinds of light for my aquarium so that I can have living coral or anemonies. Where...

So here's the game... everybody shares their strangest plant story (or as many as you like I suppose.) For example... When I was about ten or eleven I started to get into plants and gardening. I got bored with growing flowers and stuff outside and wanted to keep something a little more exotic...

A couple of shots of a new pitcher on my N. copelandii. This is its second pitcher since its been in my care. This pitcher is 2 times as big as it's earlyer one. The whole pitcher. Closeup of the mouth of the pitcher. The hood coloration is cool. Hope you liked it . Zongyi

Hey, I am expanding my indoor personal set-up and I was wondering if I was to use three bulbs, which should I use? To get a good spectrum and promote good coloring and growth. I will be using a 33gallon long tank and a triple-tube hood with a twin-tube shop light above the entire tank. I don't...

I just bought a Cobra Lily earlier today and unfortunately I dont know what soil mix to use. I usually have hostage with me just about every library book there is on the subject, but, silly me, I just turned those in yesterday. I did not know I would be needing them again the next day. Also...

I was wondering when a pitcher can no longer function. I have a gubler nep that has a few pitchers, on one of them the hood is brown and wilted along with the peristome. but the rest of the bottom pitcher is nice and green. Can the picther still digest insects with the top half seemingly dead...

I am looking for a list of aquarium/terrarium makers... good ones, decent ones, trivial ones (eh... some of them). Anyone have a model of aquarium that you just LOVE? Have a particular allegiance to a company? Post it here. I found one company in czechoslovakia called Ankvaria Ante. I like...

thanks for all the help...

Quick question (seems like that's all I've got lately ) Anyway, I've noticed that some of you on here have used the flourescent screw in bulbs in lieu of getting the full blown flourescent lids for your terrariums. I am going to be receiving an old 10 gallon aquarium which will be promptly...

I got some D. Intermedia Cuba form seeds today. I think people wanted me to have something other than VFTs. heh Ok, from what I've read I do not need to stratify them. I was going to take a drinking cup, poke some holes in the bottom and filll it mix with a 50/50 peat/perlite mix, leaving a...

I've always wanted to setup a "ghost fish tank" themed aquarium. You know, with some freshwater fish that have see-through flesh, some ghost shrimp or crawfish, glow-in-the dark toys, a supplimental blacklight, spooky rocks...the whole 9 yards. Thing is, I'm a newbie and I still have to pitch...

Okay, first off, I have a whole bunch of seedlings sprouting from my seeds, which anyone who has read my post "My vft seedling journal" probably knows. Anyways, I was wondering what to do when the dormancy season comes around. It's August and already getting slightly cooler (80° instead of 100°...

I started with an old 10gal fishtank.  Placed about 1 inch base of perlite ( I can see a water level of about .5 inch)with a 50/ 50 mixture of sphagnum  moss and silica sand on top(approx . for lighting I have 2 15 w blue aquarium lights in a hood.  The temp seems to stay around 85 deg F.  Right...

I just purchased a 10 gallon tank from my local pet store. I am new to growing these plants. When I got the aquarium home, I looked at the hood and saw that the Max Voltage is 25w. Do I need to but another hood that will stand higher voltage bulbs? Or will 25w do fine? If I need to buy another...
