This is what looks like a new division appearing on my P. chilensis. Some of you may have seen this on FB or other forums, but I just wanted to share this, since not many people grow, or even talk about, this Ping. You can also see some white mold-like substance on the leaf edges and by some...

Here are some mediocre photos of my Drosera finlaysoniana. They're annuals grown from seed from the ICPS Seedbank. Seed was planted on March 9th in a water filled test tube. It germinated in 11 days and was potted up on March 22nd. In 3 months, they've grown to a height of almost 6 inches, still...

Hi, how are you guys? Well, see, I am totallly new in this hobby. And I just got this new drosera intermedia from a local breeder. He sent it to me bareroot, covered with wet paper towel. According to him, its a juvenile. I plant it, but there are no dews and some of the leaves are browning. My...

[/url]D. filiformis "Florida Red", white flower by Djoni C, on Flickr[/IMG] The leaves on this one seem to be a much darker/deeper red than the typical D. filiformis “Florida Red” (aka “Florida All Red”) in my conditions outside in full sun. [/url]D. filiformis "Florida Red", white flower form...

Hi all, Got these pings three weeks ago growing in rockwool, or something like that transplanted, and they had very few roots. Planted in a mix of peat, perlite, and sand. Growing in very bright shade, 70s at night, 90s in the day. I keep them in a tray. You can see theyve lost a lot of older...

Hello, I managed to grow a few Drosera rotundifolia plants from seed. They've been doing nicely outside under sheltered sunlight since their sowing (I'm in temperate zone so climate fits their needs), never kept them inside a dome (so that I wouldn't have to worry about mold) but always used...

This is a self set survivor of my original collection of Dactylorhiza maculata. It settled itself into a Hosta tub and hasn't looked back.The clone is now multi-headed and a bit of a favourite of MrsG. Please forgive the size of the photo but I really thought it deserved it for the detail...

Here are some recent updates of a few Heliamphora cultures, in an experimental media -- some producing mature leaves within seven months. The cultures represent potentially unnamed lower-altitude species; and -- hopefully -- one particularly desirable one, from Cerro Huachamacare, from Amazonas...

Just moved all my plants to a new set up by necessity. I am having trouble with plants I never have before. Set up is wire shelf, covered with panda film on four sides, lit by four 2ft t5 bulbs. Plants are in 100% turface watered by tray. Temps are in the mid to high eighties during the day, low...

I just moved everything to a new set up by necessity, and I am having problems with a number of plants I have not had trouble with before. New set up is a wire shelf wrapped in panda film (4 sides), lit with 4 2' T5 lights. Air movement/cooling by small computer fan. Temps low to high 80's...

And to make it hard...they hatched today! Pictures taken in the area of Portland, Oregon. The eggs were found on the leaves and stem of a goji berry plant (Lycium barbarum) and hatched 5 days after discovery.

This is my second season growing this lithops. I always have a little trouble coaxing it to absorb it's old leaves. I believe it is L. aucampie. I have tried withholding water, but this seems only to stall the plant. Water causes growth, but also feeds the old leaves to some degree. Any tips?

Most Drosera can be easily and quickly propagated by leaf cutting, root cuttings, and flower scape cuttings. (A flower scape is just another words for the developing unfurling flower stalk as it emerges from your plant.) This will give you a mature plant faster than raising one from seed...

This was my first Nepenthes that I bought to see how well I could grow one. As I discovered, like most CPs, the difficulty of growing them is exaggerated and I have acquired several others since but have never positively identified this one. So have at it, Nepenthes experts! Pitchers are...

While Sarracenia pitcher leaves are still flat and just before they begin to expand or open they are vulnerable to wind damage. This is one of those years when I am getting quite a few broken pitchers. S. 'Hummer's Okee Classic' - having recovered from being divided last year pitchers are...

I planted some yellow kiwi seeds last summer end of June, and they sprouted and had a few nice leaves. Fall/Winter came along and they lost their leaves. I've read that they're temperate so I assume that's normal. But it's almost 12 months since I planted them, highs in San Diego have hit the...

On today's ramble there were obvious signs of Dactylorhiza fuchsii. The spotty leaves were everywhere. I present a small sample for your delectation. Give them a month and they should be putting on quite a display.

Last year I threw a handful of untreated/unscarified Drosophyllum seed under the mass of dead leaves from a droso plant that had expired the year before and then I torched the whole thing. I left the pot sit outside and this spring this is what popped up in that pot. I don't know if the...

Hi guys! I just this little ping like a week or so. I normally keep track on my new plants and noticed that the leaves of this particular ping is getting brown. I'm wondering if its because of the the lights being too close? I'm using an artificial light that's around 8 inches from the plant...
