humidity

This poor plant seems to be declining in my care. I need your help determining what's stressing it. I think I may have had it too close to my grow light. It has red splotches on the lower stems that aren't on my other plant that sits about 5" lower (and so farther from the light source). The...

Its the beginning of that time of year for me and ..im sure, a few others. WINTER! Though Neps dnt go dormant i do find myself dealing with the dreaded Tiny leaf syndrom during these times when the Neps get brought inside while i seal the windows on the sunporch/greenhouse for my VFTs and Dews...

It's some type of moss. I don't know whether to trust it or not, because I seem to have about 3 different types cropping up in different quadrants of my terrarium. This one is springing up from a bit of dry sphagnum that I buried in the soil around the roots of my D. Floating. Of course, the...

One of my Nepenthes decided to check and see if the grass was greener on the outside of the greenhouse. I saw it when it was first traveling outside and figured what the heck, lets see what happens! And today I noticed that the pitcher seems to have formed just fine. Maybe because it's not...

I was reorganizing my chamber yesterday and snapped a few pics with my cell and thought I'd post them. Keep in mind all my plants are 90% SG seedlings and have only been in this chamber about 2.5-3 months at the most. I mostly just wanted to post some pics of the chamber itself and get some...

So I mostly Grow VFT's with a few Sarracenia, I would love to try my hand at Sundews and Heliamphora but I don't have $500 to drop on growlights right now. There are a few things I have to trade and a few things I want which will be listed at the bottom. If I have any to trade I will put it in...

Sorry for a second post on pests but I rather get rid of them then regret not doing anything. I have a small 2.5 gallon tank with my nepenthes ampullaria and my utricularia longifolia and apparently fungus gnat larvae are snacking on my live sphag. Usually I have no problem with fungus gnats...

Another of those that just has not flowered for me yet. I'd give it a 50% chance there is a label somewhere in that pot :) Either way it really could only be nelumbifolia or reniformis unless someone knows of a third possibility. Easy grower for me, I've ignored it and it is still here...

Must be a semi active poster, no new people please. Keep in mind this is a large plant already and will just keep getting larger given proper care. Currently measuring approx. 22" X 18". Currently being grown in a flood/drain setup with it roots allowed to grow down into fertilized water...

I currently have a terrarium setup for highland nepenthes. Everything grows really well for the most part. Although I do not use electronic AC, I think I should get into it (later here). I have various highland plants, however I can confirm that even some of the pickiest plants are doing well...

Sup all, i want to build a small box type construction to put outside, and increase humidity within it my problem is, last time i tried this, i ended up frying everything inside of the box, and it seems to me, the only way to counter that would be to ventilate it really well.. which would also...

I'm going to start a lowland nep tank ( just got an amp) and I was wondering what you people use to raise humidity for your terrariums. Any recommendations for foggers? I have a repti fogger but I heard bad reviews so thinking of getting something better.

I have had a Nepenthese Ventrata for 6 years now. For several years it struggles and didn't grow much. It started vining a few year ago, and a year ago I trimmed off some tiny sucker vines and some dying yellowed ones, and it took off. It has 3 vines, the tallest is 4 feet. I have it propped up...

Alright, so I am now the owner of one tuber each of D. menziesii and D. modesta (because Johnny is awesome!!!) that I have no idea how to properly care for, so the past few days have been spent heavily researching how to keep them alive. I was told that now is the prime time to start these guys...

Would building a large frame and wrapping it in PVC tablecloth be a good idea? I was thinking 10' high, and 5x5 wide with fans inside to keep air circulating. If any of you know any prebuilt ones, that would work also.

All - I have several young (slightly less than dime-sized) Drosera esmeraldae plants for trade. These are ~6 month old seedlings. The come from seed produced by my mother plant (flowers), which appears to match all the characteristics of the true species and was given to me by a reputable...

I've done some reading about these guys, and they seem to like temps between 60-65 at night and 75-85 during the day, with high humidity, indirect light, decent airflow, and are best grown mounted, but well drained media like live sphagnum works too, right? Assuming the rest of this is correct...

Any orchids that would do well in either pure sphagnum or sphagnum and orchid bark out there? Temps are about 70-80 during the day in the summer, 57-65 at night. In the winter it's 48-55 at night, and 65 during the day. Not sure about humidity, but there are several trays of moss in the...

This is part of my larger project to renovate my grow shelf once I move into my new apartment in a few weeks. I've been wanting to put together a highland terrarium for awhile now. With the Wistuba group order at flytrapcare forums coming up and me being worried about the few highland plants...

Hi all, I had an idea to cool my terrarium: if I had a mister spray water into my tank, and a fan blew into it, the evaporating water would presumably lower temps and raise humidity. Does anyone have any good ideas for a cheap DIY mister? Thanks. WolframOmega
