horrible

Hello Everyone. Recently I saw weird bite marks on one of my highland Nepenthes. I am horrible when it comes to IDing pests so I thought I'd ask what y'all think of this. The plant has been quarantined, but I'm still very worried. About a month ago I saw the same symptoms on my lowland Nepenthes...

I purchased two vent. x arist. plants from that (edited out, no clues as to who it is please) and they both arrived in horrible condition. That was last year (during the late summer) and I still have them potted and am taking care of them but I am afraid they are.....well, dead!!! The plant...

'kay, so be warned: I'm absolutely horrible with arthropod photography, so I'm starting to try and work on that. I think I really need an external flash, but the onboard one with a DIY diffuser seems to work decently. Also experimenting with lens stacking, but that's difficult given most...

Well, i've been staring at a 2 liter soda bottle, sitting next to my royal truncata (i'm ashamed to say the little baby is my only nep) and, thinking about the fact that my parents said they might let me get a ventricosa, i thought i might be able to make a long-term impromptu (if that's not an...

Turns out that one of my christmas presents arrived a little too early...My new Female thorelli X campunalata was supposed to arrive at christmas, but a mistake was made. Boy, to look back at it now I should have ordered earlier! :-O Anyway, today Ive been having some horrible neck pains that I...

Hey look my first giveaway! I got a couple hundred seeds from a Drosera Intemedia plant that I got in early August. Since I prefer not to go through the process of stratification, anyone who wants to take a crack at it is welcome to have some. :D There will be roughly 50-75 seeds per packet, but...

Yea, i just had an idea. I think this is the perfect solar distiller as you can easily build it with some household items. I know the paint is horrible but you can understand it. Materials: 1 Black Spray Can 2 Plastic Bottles with the screws. 1 Plastic Tube which is atleast a bit flexible and...

Hi folks. Back when I went through my horrible breakup, I neglected my plants and myself. I ended up letting my utrics and dews go by the wayside. I am interested in restarting that collection. Anyone have plugs they can take of their utrics or extra dews or seeds they can spare? i...

Last year was a horrible year for the devil's claws due to horrid weather, weeds growing everywhere, and tons of pests. I got very few seeds, but still have some from previous seasons. I'm going to test how viable they are and plan on beating the pests, weeds, and weather (LOL) no matter what...

It had been a really long day, I'll admit that I was probably in a foul mood. I decided to try and go on the patio to watch my plants and unwind, so I wouldn't take the stress of the day out on my family. I sat, watching my water tray, paying particular attention to my Dionaea, hoping that some...

This is sort of my 29g reincarnated as a 40 gallon breeder after months of horrible neglect, hence the name "Phoenix." Just got this up February 27, 2011. I hope it grows in well! Tanks, I've noticed, are quite difficult to photograph, mostly...

Hey everyone! I thought I'd post some pictures of my young plants, or developing pitchers! I know these might not be too spectacular but at least you have something to look at. Sorry for the horrible photography... Royal Majesty - Black N. truncata N. macrophylla - Small leaf due to...

After the horrible winter in California, most of my plants we decimated, and thus after several months I have restarted my collection with a few Nepenthes, Ping, and Cephalotus. (Mostly from Lois :)) 5 Flowers on ONE plant!! Then another one from another... Too bad I lost the tags.. gonna have...

One of my good friends from high school lost his girlfriend today. She was a wonderful young woman who had a lot of loving family and friends (me included). She died due to complications from an infection with H1N1. That's one of the most upsetting parts -- this horrible event could have been...

Officials fear bath salts are growing drug problem By SHELIA BYRD Associated Press The Associated Press Saturday, January 22, 2011 1:47 PM EST FULTON, Miss. (AP) — When Neil Brown got high on bath salts, he took his skinning knife and slit his face and stomach repeatedly. Brown...

I am trying to make a thread on the CPs that you have trouble with. My personal problem was Nepenthes talangensis because it wouldnt pitcher. Then I forgot to water it and it went to heaven. However, despite this horrible deed, if someone or someones give a few tips then I am willing to start...

A few weeks back, I made the 2+ hour trek to see this exhibit in Columbus. If anybody else is thinking of doing the same, let me tell you...it ain't worth it. The giant fake CP statues are great. The 9 ft VFT that closes when you push the button twice is awesome, but it is in a greenhouse...

..please use the Email option. Computer access is usually a hit a miss thing for me. My 20 year old son has a desktop in his room. He is nocturnal and is on that computer for most of his waking life, as late as like 4 am. I work 2nd shift hours but am usually up for good around 7:45 am. So I go...

Hey everyone, after hearing many troubles of people growing Nepenthes Sibuyanensis, I experimented with my poor plant and Eureka! I think I have hit the soft spot of Nepenthes Sibuyanensis. After horribly abusing it, it grew a horrible deformed leaf. Then after a lot of reading about that nep...
