    Help: Lights and just about everything else

    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...

    Super easy DIY LED: Philips XF-3535L

    I just posted a step-by-step assembly of super easy DIY LED, which I have done about a year ago. 1 year is a long time in the progress of LED technology, but Philips XF-3535L is still great in terms of efficiency. The price came down a little bit over the year, but COB (chip-on-board) LEDs...

    First Dionaea m. 'B52'

    I'm now a proud owner of the first of many Dionaea m. cultivars, the awesome 'B52'! Grown under LED lighting and showing the plant's vigorous growth and color. I especially like how the leaves keep getting shorter and traps bigger :) Few weeks after arrival More compact growth

    LED grow lights strong enough?

    Hi all, I've been considering using LED lights. Are these strong enough for cps like Drosera, Nepenthes, and Heliamphora? http://www.ebay.com/itm/380792689599?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT...

    Growing and Cloning B52 Venus Fly Traps

    Looking for advice on growing these cultivars quickly and cloning them. I know how to pull a leaf and then stick it in some wet moss to form a new plant. Is that the best way? I wan't many clones fast, and I don't want to hurt my plants. I think I may have fried one of my B52 plants...

    This is really overkill, but since I already have the photos, as well as tons propagated... I'm looking for some of the very red sphagnum moss. I'm giving my mom a new Nepenthes and I wanted to have some for that new plant, as well as her existing Nepenthes. Red is her favorite color, and she...

    LEDs for Helis

    Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone grows heliamphora under LEDs and how they color up. I read on the icps website that LEDs may not be the best choice for helis, I also read that plants like the deep red lights. I was thinking about doing an LED set up because you can put them on a panel of...

    Homemade LED fixture

    While upgrading my petiolaris terrarium I was confronted with the question of what was I going to do for lighting? This is what I came up with. The components were mostly purchased from Home Depot - egg crate grating, E27 (screw-in type) sockets and standard lamp cord and a plug. In addition the...

    LED Lighting For a Beginner

    So I'm about to expand to another shelf of a grow rack. I currently have 2 4-bulb T5HOs on the first two shelves. I'm considering looking into LEDs for the newest shelf, but have no idea on cost, requirements, heating considerations, etc. Generally speaking, is is practical to use LEDs yet?

    What up? Ive grown H. heterodoxa x minor for a while but really never got into helis because of their special needs. Recently someone offered me lts of divs so I said why not. I put them in a wine chiller with temps ranging from 50-67F and RH at 70%+ at all times. I'm growing them under a 36w...

    Artificial lighting for CPs

    I used to have 3 shelves with all T5 HO setup. This year, I have reduced it to just 1 shelf while the other two will be LEDs. On a separate rack, I also have LED lamps (red/blue). All the setups are in ambient humidity which is consistently high by most standards. Reason for change: My...
