lowes

Well ive been a member on the forum for a while and have never really posted much. I thought id show my flavas and leucophylla (i have vfts and a lowes purp too) and how i got them. Last summer i went to the Francis Marion national forest in SC because i was already at the beach. I asked the...

I have testament to how truly hardy a purp really is. It all started with a death box purp from Lowe's. I took it home, replanted it in a pot and left it be for several years. It thrived without much of my intervention. Then one day about a month ago, my dog dug it up, and I thought it was...

So my girlfriend and I were both getting tired of not being able to open my bathroom door fully because of the ginormous grow rack I built to replace the Lowes one that collapsed from the weight of all my plants... So I downsized everything! Also I needed something that took less effort to take...

My VFT's traps are turning black. I don't know what's wrong. I have it in 100% peat moss, from a huge bale of the stuff I got from Lowe's. I also have been watering it with both rain water and water from the goldfish pond we have. I've been careful not to use tap water. I just don't know what I...

I'm having trouble deciding on what kind of grow lights to use for my terrarium. I made my own custom light fixture housing that is 25.5 inches x 11.5 inches x 2.75 inches and fits on top of the terrarium. I bought a couple of cheap 22 inch Utilitech Grow light fixtures from Lowes but I've had...

Here is where i will post the plants i grow [Drosera D. capensis D. capensis "alba" D. binta D. adella D. x hybrida New Jersy Venus FLy Traps Typicals 'a2' Bcp B01 BZ 1955 'Big Mouth' 'Jaws' Peter D'amato Green Clone 'Red Pirhanna' 'Shogun Star' Nepenthes N. alata Heliomphora H. minor x...

here are the components......admittedly can prob be put together cheaper had i not went to lowes. next time i go back i will get some 90 degree 1/4 in fittings to improve the fit and finish. only additional piece not listed was a 4ft 1/2 inch piece of plastic tubing for like $1.50 or something...

Howdy. I suddenly have an aphid infestation (must have gotten it from some new plants I ordered back in November) in my indoor terrarium. They are mostly going for my Heliamphora but I suspect everything in my terrarium may have a bite or two. What is the best aphid control I can use in an...

Went by Lowe's the other day, bought a yellow Cattleya orchid half off ($6) turns out it was originally in a thin slotted pot that had crumbled, and that was shoehorned into a four inch pot, which broke all the roots, but I did not know as that whole mess was enclosed in a white mesh bag, and...

I recently moved to a rural area and I am finding a hard time finding cp supplies. The sand sold here is only quikcrete. The perlite I have found is small and super dirty. Oddly enough I found turface at a John Deere supply store. I can get decent peat and lfs from lowes. I plan on repotting...

Roughly here it is: Dionaea - Dente - Typical (Deathcube from Lowes) - Another set of typicals...I think. - Jaws x 1955 - Red Piranha - B52 - Big Mouth - Big Snap - Czech Giant - BZ 1955 - Dutch Delight - Akai Ryu - Green Dragon - FTS Purple Ambush - Coquillage - FTS Flaming Lips - FTS Lunatic...

Apparently it's quite difficult for me to find silica sand where I live. I went to Home Depot and Lowes and only was able to find the following that fit the description of "silica sand" - http://www.ghpsystems.com/products/bentonite-based-grout-products/granusil-mineral-fillers/ It says...

here is my first ever Cattleya orchid,i got it for a few months now, since early October. i have been meaning to make a thread about getting this plant, but i hadnt been able to do so for a while, 'cause i have been busy with loads of school stuff. anyways, i got him from my local Lowes, the...

I thought I was going to receive some dormant rhizomes with no pitchers, but I guess these aren't dormant... ??? I made sure the medium was just moist, not wet, when I potted them. I put maybe a few tablespoons of distilled water right around the rhizome. These are in drained pots that dry...

My modest growlist. Thanks for looking! If I have multiples of something you're interested in pm me. --Dionaea-- 1- 'B52' 2- 'Crimson Sawtooth' (FTS) 1- 'Cross Teeth' (FTS) 3- 'Dente' (Efrain90) 1- 'Fuzzy tooth' (jhtunion) 1- 'Fused Tooth' (FTS) 1- 'Green Wizard' 1- 'Jaws' (FTS) 2- 'Mirror'...

I ordered two bunches of Spanish Moss from a vendor back in December and it hasn't grown a single bit, but it flowered during the summer. It is the thick variation of the species, not the thin. It is definitely alive, kinda greenish-gray... I really like the look it adds to my greenhouse and I...

I was getting something and noticed the display. To my surprise out of all ailing flytraps sat a S. purp so I said what they hey and talked to the cashier asking if i could get a discount for the plants condition and she knocked it down to 0.50. I went to get some more and when I came back I...

so, about a week or so ago, while at my local Lowes, i was searching the deathcube rack for a new CP to bring home. thats when i came across one of these "terrarium sets" of course, the plants in these are temperate, and completely unsuitable for a terrarium. and they have apparently also...

I was browsing through the net and came across one of those pond foggers.....for those of you considering a beginners terrarium this will help you with the humidity for a mere 30 bucks....My terrarium is setup so the plants sit on isolated trays about several inches of water so the supply will...

Many of us here have made use of the DIY fogger system in order to increase RH in enclosed growing spaces. Unfortunately depending on your location and/or settings, the water can potentially drain rather quickly. In my experience I have to usually refill a 5 gallon bucket once a day in order to...
