Lowe's sells various large rolls of 6 mil plastic that I was thinking about using as a cover for my custom greenhouse project. Does anyone see a problem with using that material over standard "greenhouse film"?

I've had VFTs for a few years now, and I know about how they get burnt-looking if you rescue one from Lowe's and throw it in the sun, and they always come back making leaves that tolerate the sun. But I have VFTs that look burnt on flower stalks, and one looks burnt on every leaf. They've been...

Thought this would make an interesting topic to start. We are all mortal here and have made our fair share of mistakes when it comes to our dearly beloved carnivorous plants. This idea came to mind a few nights ago in the chat box. Without further ado, my dumbest thing I have ever done to a...

I have three D rotundafolia between 1/2" and 1 1/4" that I have had for about 6 weeks. I was told or read, I don't remember which, to keep them on Sphagnum moss. They are all doing well and showing new growth. However, I am wondering if this is the right medium. It is probably fine but would...

only made 2 so far and some seed pods that i have cross pollinated and im waiting for the seeds i pollinate them by completely removing the anthers with tweezers from both flowers, then washout both flowers with distilled water and dab them with a tiny twisted up napkin to soak up the water...

I am looking for a Lowe's N. ventricosa. They used to come in those cubes but I have not seen them sold at any Lowe's in over a year. I was reminded of this search I am on because of this thread. Others have grown them out as true species of ventricosa. I really would love to have this plant...

I got this orchid from the clearance section of Lowes Can she bring it back? by Thagirion3, on Flickr I wanted it because I've been looking for a yellow one but was worried how bad of shape it was. It had been dried out in full sun. Dried and no soil by Thagirion3, on Flickr No soil. If it...

So I know the whole Death Cubes/Lowes/HD plants have been discussed to death, but what I could not find was an ID on what the Botanical Wonders Nepenthes labelled ventricosa actually turned out to be. Does anyone have one they purchased from the big clear plastic boxes they ship in now that...

I've got some new sundews on the way, and since I've only been growing Nepenthes for the last few years, I don't have any peat to repot with. The thing is, the last few times I've looked at peat in Home Depot or Lowe's, it was the Miracle Gro brand. And unless I'm mistaken, it had fertilizer...

Helllo All, Could you please help me ID this ping? Very new to pings as in, saw this awesome plant at Lowes and decided to make it a rescue. From reading other posts, Lowes often sells Ping Primuliflora? I have no idea if this is termperate or tropical? Any comments are appreciated...

TF, I just wanted to share a pic of my VFT's covered completely with water. This happens out in nature so I figure I should do the same taking into account they are growing in a big container having closet 2ft of soil below. The chances of my plants rotting are very unlikely. I also met with...

I have been in the hobby for a few months now. Like most I got a vft, and nepenthes from lowes and that started it all. Since then I have been reading like crazy and searching the forum trying to learn all I can. I love this community though. People in this hobby are very generious and that...

Lately I find myself going too quick through small packages of Hoffman red lava rock that I buy in a not so local nursery. I saw lowes offer black lava rock and HD offer red lava rock for sale. Is black lava rock essentially the same mineral as red lava rock (Scoria)? I wonder if the stuff...

About a week ago I purchased 4 Dendrobium orchids from the clearance shelf along with 2 African Violets. They were in perfect health and even had a few new flower buds forming. They were large plants, and were only $7, so I purchased them all. Everyone in line at the register pretty much thought...

Well, all the cool kids were doing it so, I might as well to. Here is my official picture thread of my terrarium, and soon windowsill as well. This started as just me taking a single picture of the heli to show how well it has progressed which I got from Swords who immediately divided his Heli...

The time has come that I need shade cloth for my tropicals. Where is the best place I can get this? I need a pretty exact size, 7'x8'... Is there anywhere that will let you choose the size? I need to know what percentage I need as well. I was thinking 50%, but I do want to keep some sun-loving...

This will be my thread for the progress of my Sarracenias and such. Some of you might remember I posted this pic asking for help if I should repot the S. rubra gulfensis in the back left. I gave it a "hair cut" instead per everyone's recomendations. Spring cleaning time for little bog by...

Hi everyone! Picking your knowledge on these 2 plants rescued from lowes. Grown by a company starting with a G like grubers or something. I can not ID the ping (primuliflora?? Leaves are very long 3 inch plus, maybe low light?) and I think the drosera is D. Aliciae? Thanks for the help...

I went to Lowes last week and saw these two Aloes. They were so cool looking, I just had to pick them up. Aloe nobilis (Gold Tooth Aloe) Aloe x spinosissima (Spider Aloe). This one looks wicked and dangerous!

Last year I built an arbor on the fence for my gourds. It worked out great. A view of the gourds and chickens by arbor by Thagirion3, on Flickr Here the gourds are growing up it. But this year I didn't want to grow gourds there. I want this to be a place to hang nepenthes and set up some...
