So I repotted my plants two days ago. Around 20 plants. Instead of using peat/perlite mix for the sarrs, drosera, and vfts I went with peat/sand mix. Apparently I bought the wrong kind of sand because I used "Western States Wholesale washed plastering sand". I did 3:1 ratio peat/sand for the...

So I was at Lowes today and they had this guy in the far back inside, in the dark. I felt bad for it so I decided to buy it. What kind is it and why is it lying down like that? its inside under my lights and I watered it with distilled water of course. It 70 in my house and the lights are the...
So I walked into lowes today, and as usual looked at the plants. They had the usual many almost dead VFTs, but in the back of the $10 row, of course not the $5 row, I saw this little Nep screaming to save him or he'd eat me in the next life. First photo is in the box, second is it re-potted into...
I just got this guy form Lowes. It was the only one of this form, the others were dentaes. The traps are around 1 inch long. It came from a place called Altman plants and I have already looked at their website it doesn't help much. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
This is part of my larger project to renovate my grow shelf once I move into my new apartment in a few weeks. I've been wanting to put together a highland terrarium for awhile now. With the Wistuba group order at flytrapcare forums coming up and me being worried about the few highland plants...
Howdy, y'all!
Starting a series of pots in the front yard. These will be fully exposed to the harsh Texas sun and relatively low humidity (generally around 30%-40%). My main purpose for this thread is to hopefully clear up any doubts that these plants can be grown in harsh conditions such as...
So I joined this forum over a year ago and never really participated much. However, I've learned alot from the great community here and am hoping to share the little knowledge I have and gain some more! I'm currently in college (Penn State) and spending the summer at my parents farm before...
Hey guys, sorry I've been away for so long. Hope to be more active again soon. :/
I'm setting up a second terrarium (knew it was going to happen eventually), as I started to re-pot some of my seedlings a couple days ago and realized I was going to end up with WAY more pots than I could handle...
Thought I'd share. I got this from Lowe's over the winter on sale and stuck it in a terrarium until I could get it in the bog. I saw this today.
I know I've heard of this happening before, I was wondering how uncommon it is though? And if anyone has any experience with separating the traps...
So I bought a Venus Flytrap from Lowe's, and being early March, should I put it on a dark windowsill or let it grow? It's very alive looking so wasn't sure weather to put it into dormancy or not. ???
looking for cheap 2 bulb 4ft t8 lights that wont break down after a few months, preferably from lowes, home depot, walmart or some other big store. OR somewhere online that has free shipping on larger orders.
I was going to buy these...
I always see people getting really cool plants from their local nurseries such as Lowes, Home Depot, and etc.
WELL, the ones around my house have NONE OF THAT. THE ONLY plant they'll ever carry is generic venus flytrap.
I can drive a couple of hours up north to an awesome CP holy land but...
Okay so everything finally arrived on Wednesday, after taking a day to set up everything I'm pretty much set up, just wanted to share the results with people here.
Okay so anyway I bought the Lvjing High Power 120w Led Plant Grow Light Panel because of the lower price and the good reviews...
I bought a Deathcube from Lowes last night as I havent owned any Sarrs yet, and it ended up being 2 individual Sarracenia plants when I repotted them. I planted them with my VFT to make a tiny "community" of carnivores!
Look how bright green they are! They mustve been deprived of light for a...
A while back on another forum I read a thread about a person "doing everything wrong with Darlingtonia." Essentially, he obtained a death cube cobra from Lowe's, and, not knowing what to do with it, placed it in a sealed glass jar terrarium in Miracle Grow potting mix. He watered by spraying tap...

I have been meaning to try APS as a medium for my MexiPings for a long time. Oddly enough, the local Lowe's, Home Depot, etc don't carry it.
A lot of the APS I am finding online has zeolite mixed in it. Is this an issue?
