    Petunia exserta: Bugs stick, red flowers, nearly extinct, indoor/outdoor, free seeds

    Petunia exserta would seem to have a lot going for it: 1) It's nearly extinct in the wild. 2) It has red flowers--the only naturally occurring ones in its genus. 3) It's hummingbird pollinated--also the only one in it's genus. 4) Bugs stick to the leaves--it's not carnivorous, but at least...

    CP-safe emulsifier for neem oil solution (aphid busting)

    I'm developing a fairly serious aphid problem in a few of my trays (Drosera mostly at this point), and want to try a topical application of Neem oil per this article on Grow Sundews. However, I'm having trouble getting the neem oil to emulsify. The label suggests using 2 tsp of dish soap per...

    Mexican Pinguicula outside

    This is probably a fairly stupid question but I wanted to know if it were possible to grow Mexican pings, P. cyclosecta in particular, outside over the summer (protected from direct sunlight), then overwinter it under lights. I'm asking this because my growlight setup is very very poor and I...

    Suggestion for misting and cooling system for a 20 gallon tank

    Currently I have a 10 gallon tank but plan to buy a 20 gallon soon for my Highlanders. Now the question is in summer, the average outdoor temperature is around 85~95 during the day. This means indoor temperate with (insulation and tile flooring) is around 70~80 degrees. I haven't grew any Cps...

    First Byblis Seedlings

    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...

    my Nepenthes "Miranda" x maxima doesn't look good

    Hi, I bought this Nepenthes plant last year and it was doing fine when all of the sudden all pitchers dried and despite new vines were showing no pitchers developed again. Today is worse, the leaves are very thin and soft like bat wings, I'm afraid it might die soon. I can't post a picture...

    Light distance issue.

    Hey TF. I need some advise. I've been having a clearance problem with my current setup. I need to create around 2 or 3 foot of space above my plant so that they can flower freely. Is there any lights that will be strong enough to give me that space and still provide plenty of light for them to grow?

    Begonias from seed: Begonia dregei

    I thought it would be useful to start a thread about growing Begonias from seed, and Begonia dregei, in particular, for a couple reasons. Begonia seeds are tiny, and I think a lot of people assume they are near impossible to grow successfully. Begonia dregei is a really fun Begonia, and one of...

    Greetings from Brooklyn, NY

    Hey all, Hello from Brooklyn. I've been reading these forums for advice for long enough that it made sense to just join. I live in a pretty small apartment in Brooklyn, so my set-up right now is just some grow lights on my desk, but it's enough to keep me content for the moment. Happy...

    Pullings / Roots

    I'm doing some pullings now all of which are robustly producing leaves. Some with multiple growth points it would appear. However, none of them have produced any roots at all yet. They're about a month or so old. Some a week or two older. They're in a ziploc bag under lights. They are misted...

    Adventures of an Alaskan Nepenthes Farmer

    Just spent a good long while separating out D. capensis and then extending my growing area by a bit. My goal is to sell a number of D. capensis at a local festival this summer if not sooner. While I was at it I decided to move my S. 'Reptilian Rose' from out of the basement to indoors under...

    P. lusitanica Indoor Cultivation

    Given that it is an annual/short lived perennial, does anyone have experience growing P. lusitanica indoors under lights? I imagine they might do alright as long as seed can be obtained before they die off.

    Maxillaria trade for Heliamphora

    Hi all, I have a division of Max. schunkeana (the nearly black orchid species) that I can offer for trade for a Heli division. This species is quite adaptable and has done well for me in intermediate to warm conditions (should probably do ok growing cool as well). It's a mini-small grower that...
