humidity

In spite of my difficulties growing Pings, I can grow orchids really well. First, a picture of a Laelia angereri x L. katsukiana: This is a primary hybrid of two rock laelias from Brazil. They can grow well outside in Arizona, as long as they are given some shade in the afternoon, and a...

I purchased this plant almost exactly a month ago and have yet to successfully acclimate my plant to its new environment. The plant arrived in great condition, but has slowly declined since. At first it was kept indoors in a south facing window and watered from the top (6-8 hours of direct...

(Sorry if this is a repeat for a few people. I copied this post verbatim from another forum) Any thoughts on mounting an Aglaomorpha coronans fern? Perhaps the question would do better on a fern oriented forum, but I figured I'd ask, just in case anyone here has experience, or just an...

Hello everyone, This morning, I did find this in my sphagnum and I would like to know if I should be afraid of that. It is rather big. The chart is in mm. insect2 by Martin Villeneuve, sur Flickr I can't find a similar pic on the net. I grow my CP in the basement. I keep a window slightly...

Hello Office Workers! I was recently asked to find a showy Nepenthes that reliably produces pitchers in a somewhat sunny office environment. The requestee has no real experience with carnivorous plants and would prefer not to have a terrarium. Supplemental light is a possibility, but the main...

Hi everyone. Im new to these forums. Im Dante from Argentina. I have a small terrarium for my new Nepenthes, but the new leaves are growing in spirals, with oddly shapes and never finish to grow. They have close to 29ºc and 80% or more of humidity. Any ideas of what could be happening?

This is for those of you looking for a more modest portion of D. adelae. :) You are bidding on a clump with plants a few inches across and several plantlets growing from the roots. These have already been growing in normal room humidity. Super easy in wet lfs based mixes. Shipping will be via...

Two N. ventricosa x (thorelii x aristolochiodies) are in a northeast facing window and haven't been pitchering. I looked over the temp chart and my day temps are on the low side, usually around 70F and the nights could definitely be colder, again usually around 70F. Also curious to know how the...

So about a year ago I started a variety of drosera seed on shredded sphagnum. Maybe half germinated any, and only d. tokaiensis survived to appreciable sizes. They were actually doing fantastic for a few months, but are now losing dew and seem to be dying back. I'm just extremely frustrated...

I have been posting on here a lot looking for a good plant that fits my needs. I am looking for an easy to grow plant. Something i can put in a windowsill, that does not need very high humidity and is forgiving. I do not care that much about size but a smaller one is better than a bigger one. I...

I recently obtained a Nepenthes spathulata x ovata and have seen many opinions of growing nepenthes in general indoors. Some people say that they do very well indoors and adapt to the lower humidity and can also adapt to little to no nighttime temp drop. Is this true? My house is almost always a...

So I was pretty much out of room for plants under my two fixtures. However,a lot of pots were failed out previously transplanted seedling pots. I'm in the middle of putting various sundew and a few nepenthes seedlings into 2"circular plastic net pots. These will be about a foot under a fixture...

I noticed a few of these spots on another of my plants about a week ago. Normally something like this wouldn't catch my eye too much, but another of my Nepenthes suddenly was covered in these spots before it promptly died. From the research that I've done, I can't figure out what it is. I've...

So I received a wesser about two weeks ago and it is in its succulent phase. I started to water it every few days and put it under a quad t5 ho. It hasnt budged in two weeks. Temps are 85-88 in the day and 68-70 at night with moderate daily humidity followed by a constant around 70% at night...

Hello everyone, welcome to my new thread! I have put together a new setup and have pretty much automated the temperature and humidity settings. The lights are on a 16 on 8 off schedule Temperature is set to 72F day, 52F night. However the top shelf stays 5F-8F warmer when the lights are on...

It's on it's last leaf! And I'm not sure why. I have it in East facing windows. I live on Stinson Beach, CA so humidity usually stays fairly high. Temps around 70(max) - high 40's right now.

Nepenthes x hookeriana "green ampullaria parent" Up for sale is the largest of my SG Nepenthes x hookeriana, produced from seeds of a N. ampullaria "green" plant. It is approximately 8-10" across, with pitchers reaching nearly 2" high. So far the color is pure green, but due to the light levels...

So I started a variety of nepenthes seedlings, and one variety, a mirabilis, had a huge germination rate. So now, in a 4 inch pot, I have 50+ plants andywhere from newly germinated to an inch in diamter. They are sown in LFS, and I plan on transplanting to a humidity dome with a tray system...

This may be a longshot, but I have a large N spectabilis "giant" x ventricosa that is near flowering size and looks to be close to the vining stage, and I am interested in a N. hamata. I have had the plant for a little over a year starting off from a small cutting. It consistently produces...

So I sowed some seed from ICPS and after about a month I now have around 15 Byblis liniflora seedlings with a few more to come I'm sure. I've never grown Byblis before so am looking for some pretty basic advice, although I've done plenty of reading already. A few questions: 1) Some of them...
