introduction

It's taken me a while ( a few years) to get here so I'll use this an introduction, and a way to get used to the posting on this forum.:grin: These Disa are useful orchids for growing alongside my Sarracenia and extending the flowering season. They are evergreen and only require protection from...

Hey guys i think i have a problem (it seems whenever i post on here i do LOL). I got my little Hamata (FINALLY!) a couple weeks ago and it has put out its first pitcher! Thats great! but here is the problem- the new pitcher is about two inches tall, while the ones previous are two and a half...

Hello Terra Forums, Well I've been on here for a little while and realized I hadn't introduced myself or even said hello. I've been into CPs for a little while now, and was actually drawn to them through my work. I work for a company that studies plants and fruits and veggies and was studying...

Hello all. My name is Tim and I'm happy to finally introduce myself to the group. I've been on the forum here and there reading all the great information but never had a chance to give a proper introduction. So here I am. I also got a chance to add my growlist...check it out. I've been...

First the disclaimer..... There are as many methods as there are growers. Some grow beautiful helis using methods totally opposite from these. It is not my intention to imply that you must follow these recommendations to be successful. I present this guide as what "I"do and what "I" believe...

So I'm still pretty new and don't fully understand or know the in's and out's of what's what with this topic. My buddy that owns the sphagnum bog where I hang out would like to see purps on his property. He asked me today if I could plant some in the bog. I thought it would be a good idea for me...

As some have you may realised, I'm new to the CP world and have only recently started growing. I understand the basics with neps, flytraps and sundews however I'm completely clueless about Sarracenia. I'm planning on getting a sarr soon as they're definately a gorgeous plant! I've had a look at...

Greetings, I was at Lowes today, and I ran across their display advertising this (among others): http://www.lowes.com/pd_318847-10155-FHSP300CL_4294935924_4294937087_?productId=3112011 Now, I've been growing solely in pots, and I thought it would be nice to have a mini-greenhouse to at least...

Is anyone here keeping a nano reef of inverts, corals and so on in a tank 10 gallons or less? got pics? I found a series of vids on youtube by Indo Pacific Sea farms about setting up an eco-friendly DIY 10 gallon nano using a $29 tank, hood and filter combo kit...

Super 5-Variety Unlimited SASE+ (USA Only) Thank you very much for participating! This offer is now closed (1/25/2011), only posters replying before this edit will get seed. No, we did't make it till spring, but came awefully close and helped a bunch of people in the process. If you want to...

I hate introductions, haha. I feel obligated to write them, but I never know what to say. Might say I'm an artist, I draw way too much, paint, sculpt, etc. (I drew my avatar, just sayin') I have a lot to improve on, but doesn't everyone? Planning on starting a web-comic soon, but that's neither...

Hi all, I'm planning on setting up a mini bog, and my question isn't about media, containers, etc., but about the plants in my mini-bog. I have a Sarracenia hybrid (saved it yesterday from a nursery that out of nowhere stopped caring for their CPs, but kept charging full price, and it only says...

Right, like i said over in my introduction thread, I finally managed to get my hands on some CPs today. Sadly, all of them in more or less poor condition and with no ID tags ;/ Would be cool if you guys could help me slap a name tag on these babies D: For what it's worth, all of them came from...

Hello everyone, in school we were doing a "how to" guide of anything we ant to make it about. I decided to do "how to grow Nepenthes from seed" I honestly don't know why I chose this, because I only have done this once and I didn't even do it the way I explained to do it... and I only have 2...

Hello everyone! Some of you may remember me from a long time ago. Some of you may also remember that I suddenly became an innactive member. Well, I went down to Brazil, and now I am back. I asked my mother to take care of my plants while I was away and she did a much better job than i ever...

Found this video on the web, about research into VFT's. the video is kind of poorly made (IMO), as there is no introduction or background, it's basically a 1 minute portion of an interview, apparently. but, it involves CP's so I figure I'd share the link...

So, I'm trying to come up with a list of topics for a short presentation on CPs (15-30 minutes I'm guessing) aimed mostly at those with a high-school level science background or higher. Some of the things I want to talk about are the prehensile movement of Nepenthes tendrils, the mechanism of...

Greeting to all of you fine TF folk, I thought I'd take the time to do a proper introduction, since I have been spending more and more time on this wonderful forum of yours. I spend most of my time on the OCPS forum in Canada, but also check out some of the other CP forums, from time to time...

This info came across the VCPS listserver & even though it comes across as blatant spam, anyone who has seen some of his other books & enjoys Nepenthes will cough up the bucks ... The email also had 21 beautiful color pics of Neps - however, I don't know how to share those pics w/o hosting each...

While viewing the Chris Mars art exhibit & book signing at the Galleria Barnes & Noble tonight I ran across this book in the bargain section: http://www.amazon.com/Shaman-Voyages-Ecstasy-Healing-Siberia/dp/1903296188/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1236139994&sr=8-1 Being interested in the...
