    low blood sugar

    Dry sundew

    Hey folks, I have a problem with one of my sundews, a D. spatulata I think. It was in horrible condition when I got it a month or so ago, but I replanted it and it seemed to recover. The only problem is that this plant has never produced dew. Its been growing fairly vigorously and is even...

    Chameleon plant (Houttuynia cordata)

    the title should say it all- we got one at a plant sale yesterday and I was intrigued by the notion that such a funky-looking plant MAY live in my bog garden (the cranberries bor the heck outta me and the occasional crabgrass isn't much for "flora" either) Anyways, after checking out the 'net...

    D. Adelae

    I got a D. Adelae last Thursday in the mail and let me tell you it looked horrible. I have some questions about this plant. I've been reading around and trying to find some cool other plants then the various types of Venus Flytraps and this was one that I found. I'm pretty sure this plant does...

    It Came!

    In my shipment of plants I got last Thursday all the plants looked horrible except the N. Ventricosa 'Red'. I potted it in a four-inch plastic pot in sphagnum moss and put it by the window. The paper I got with it says the highland like temps of 50-70 with humidity of at least 50%. The temps by...

    I got attacked!!!...

    By an army of red fire ants! I've been in Florida for the past 6 weeks and I was walking my friends dog and stepped on an ant hill. I didn't notice and just stood there for about a minute. Next thing I know, I feel this horrible burning feeling on my foot. I look down and there are about 100 red...

    You know you're asian if...

    Here's a little 'Asian' check-off list to determine how Asian are you. I received it in an e-mail a while ago, and I found it to be pretty funny. I * the ones that applied to me, and the (words) at the end of each one are just my comments. I didn't mind reading about the typical Asian, but if...

    Spca for plants

    Is there a plant equivalent to the SPCA? What motivates this question is the incredibly horrible treatment / negligence of the garden centers with regard to watering, lighting, and air circulation. If they don't sell them fast enough - they die a slow death.
