horrible

Some of my sundews are thriving and some are struggling. Most of them are either on the south-facing grow rack, with a light 2-3" above them or in the terrarium setup. They get ~16 hours of light per day and I'm wondering if that's too much time and perhaps leading to dormancy for the pygmy...

I bought this Nep rafflesiana last christmas through another grower and received a complete mess. I had a gift certificate and used it to expand a bit but needless to say the packaging job was horrible. A Sarr was not in dormancy and falling out of the pot and this nep took a beating. Medium was...

In celebration of the horrible cold temperatures, and probably over $1,000 in masonry damage... If you can beat my icicle by Feb 28th 2009, I'll send a basal of some Nepenthes to you of my selection. One winner, my choice. If my icicle grows, updates will be posted. (If it grows much more, it...

I need to get an aquarium vacuum badly because my fish are pooping up a storm and it looks horrible! I'm not sure how they work, but do they need to be attached to a faucet?? I don't have one nearby. Is there a kind that will suck up all the dirt and I can just let the water go into a bucket? I...

As some of you know I'm a chef... I'm very experimental and try to challenge the idea of what food is. recently I was contracted to do a New Years party where the theme is blue. Blue is not a color that often occurs in vegetables or meats. It's mainly an hors d'oeuvres party. It's been rather...

There's a new show coming up on Animal Planet starting Friday called "Whale Wars", documenting the evil and nefarious commies known as Greenpeace (new aspect as "Sea Shepherd"). As you all know, I support such horrible things as Saving the Whales, the Trees, the Owls and all that other "silly...

Apparently I'm an idiot. I was refilling the tank on my ultrasonic humidifier, and left it turned on while I did so. On my model, the tank lifts up and off from the base, which is where the ultrasonic wafer is. Well, I got the tank off, and the humidifier turned on. There is a little basin...

Anybody have this before? It looks like this capensis has two sets of flowers forming on the same stalk. This'll come in handy when the typical 400 billion cape seeds just won't do. (please pardon the horrible cell phone pic)

Well im not sure what Nep this is. Back at the end of April i was in Lowes of all places getting some soil for my regular house plants and came across the reduced price rack and there was a tiny death cube with a very very tiny nep inside it looked awful no color except one leaf, so i snatched...

U.Sandersonii Not Growing Good Pic Quality First, I am very sorry for the crappy pic, my camera wouldn't focus on them for some reason, I'll try and get a better one. Now the U.Sandersonii. I have 3 of them and non are growing. That says to me that I'm doing something wrong right? Here they are...

Okay I got a N. Sanguania from XXXXXXXXXX.XXX and got it in perfect condition. Grown on a windowsill had a couple pitchers and now its been a year and it is in horrible condition. The water is RO and the soil consist on 2 parts cocohusk and fiber and 1 part peat. It has "rust" under the leaves...

Last year i decided to build a bog garden in front of my house, it was a much larger project than i thought it would be. I started by digging out a flower bed that nothing would grow in, i dug the entire bed out to 18 inches deep, the Bed is 25 feet long and 6 feet wide. I then used material...

Today is a very bad day here in Melbourne and Palm Bay (Florida). Fires are everywhere! Right now as I post this, there are about 12 or more different fires around Malabar, Daytona Beach, I think, and Palm Bay. I'm sure that Cphog knows of this since he's from Palm Bay. I'm here in Melbourne I...

Well im looking to get rid of my tropicals, cause I dont have enough space in my house, and I have trouble remembering to water them. Their not in the best shape, cause I am horrible at remembering to watering. I seem to have better luck with temperate plants. I would be willing to trade for...

Then Idk what one is. My life is really horrible right now. My dad is depressed and a drunk, my sister is depressed, my girlfriend is depressed and I'm about to lose her. I'm depressed and about to lose my mind with everything else. My car is smashed, I have a $500 ticket, no money, I'm still...

The packaging said it was "naturally sterile." I'm not sure if that's referring to it being acidic since it's sphagnum or if it is completely dead and won't grow. I'd like to get some live sphagnum going if possible. I already had some sort of green top soil moss starting to grow that I think...

The teacher gave her fifth-grade class an assignment: Get their parents to tell them a story with a moral to it. The next day, the kids came back and, one by one, began to tell their stories. "Johnny, do you have a story to share?" the teacher asked. "Yes, ma'am," Johnny replied. "My daddy...

First the sob story, recently I had to move to a new location, the move coupled with a new setup ended up being a total disaster for my plants. I was close to loosing everything, all my dews, all my Neps, all my tropicals, even my fish... it was horrible. No matter what, I couldn't get the...

A while back I got a horrible virus. I couldn't fix it any other way than to reformat it.:-( I am not very computer literate, so I need some help with my sound card drivers. According to my brother I need to download the legacy audio driver, but I don't know where to download it. Does anyone...
