    N. maxima -Ok for windowsill?

    I've mostly run out of space in my grow tent and heated lowland tank. I've seen some very nice maxima varieties available recently (Gunung Lumut-the false Eymae, and wavy leaf). I was wondering if these would be hardy enough as windowsill plants. My apartment conditions are pretty bad for most...

    Nepenthes seedling repotting?

    About two weeks ago, I upgraded my lowland tank to larger T5H0 lights As the King tiger was beginning to demand a larger terrarium and better light. The Attenboroughii seedlings have taken a liking to the environment too, and they Are already growing larger. However, this poses a question...

    Giveaway Part III - Unided Utricularia nelumbifolia or maybe reniformis

    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...

I bagged em and put them under 16h/day grow lights. While 3 of them succumbed to fungus/mold, one marched on and today I noticed...

    D. multifida cuttings: Laying on soil vs. Floating in water

    So, I have a D. multifida 'extrema' plant that has never flowered for me. It's already survived one winter under lights, but I'm getting nervous only having one, so I want to start at least one cutting in a terrarium as a backup. I'm curious as to the best way to do this. I know a few people...
