Hey guys,
I bought these last weekend at the National Reptile Breeders' Expo in Daytona. They weren't labeled, and the owner of the booth was in no mood to be helpful. All plants had multiples for sale (no oddballs). I'm sure they're all quite ordinary, but I am totally new to this. I've...
I've only had my cape sundews for a couple months, and heck I thought these were the easiest. :) They (one narrow leaf and one red) have been doing what I thought was great until recently. The tips of some leaves are starting to go brown and then dry. This is even affecting leaves that haven't...
Up for auction:
1 not so common capensis narrow leaf POT. You will get the plants pictured below in a 3 1/2" pot.
I am offering about a dozen items on a limited budget, so winner needs pay $5 shipping.
Due to vacation and work schedules, I will probably not be able to ship until mid to late...
Hello everyone! My name is Julie, and I'm from Wichita, KS (anyone else from the state?). I am in love with CPs, succulents and other plants, breeding/raising tropical fish, bettas, and snails, as well as horses. I recently moved here from the Seattle area. About the same time, I got turned onto...

I live in a south facing condo in chicago so my only option for growing CPs is to grow them on the balcony- no direct light penetration in summer inside , plenty of direct light on the balcony though.
I talked my wife into letting my claim two of the balcony baskets. These are extremely...
Hello,
I get quite a bit of Yellowjackets (I am the King of this realm when it comes to killing them by decapitation, I've killed 12 in the past week, and counting, two today.) and they visit my CP's due to the water trays and being thirsty, but, one earlier almost got caught by my S. oreophila...
This is the same plant in the "pitcherless Nep" thread.
The leaves have a narrow base that then broadens to its full width. Most of my other neps immediately begin to broaden so I am able to eliminate N sanguinea, ventricosa, and bicalcarata. They do resemble my N raffelsiana however. The...
I just stumbled on this at a greenhouse. I happened to see it tucked off to the side and knew that it was a nep, but no pitchers have formed so I don't know what kind!
The pic is a poor quality cell phone pic with my parents' oversized Golden Retriever as a reference. The leaves aren't as...
Hello all,
My N. ventricosa has been consistently producing 6+ inch long leaves for the past few months. They have been narrow, flat, and grow straight out and hang down over the sides of the pot. A few weeks ago, it started producing these short (3"), very curled leaves, some with tips that...
Okay, here is the deal. I have a bunch of stuff to get rid of. Read the rule because I do not have time to hold hands on this one
1) I am not in a mad frantic rush so you don't necessarily have to be either. This is not first come first served. Take your time, check you collections, get your...

On Friday I plan to try and find a geocache that hasn't been found since 2001. It's way back in the woods.

As you can see from reading the logs, back in 2001 people could at least drive close to the...

This one fruit tree was had the best pears i had ever tasted. I mean, melting, very juicy, with a Vinous, aromatic flavor. Not...
I like my D. capensis typical, and i want to branch out into the other varieties. Red is not for me, and i think the ghostly tentacles of D. capensis (alba) look superb. But… IS it D. capensis (alba)?
Is D. capensis (alba) the same as D. capensis (alba narrow leaf)?? I really like the thick...
2 yrs ago all of my Cps died off in a terrarium fungus incident of disastrous proportions. I am starting over again, growing my CP's with more light, less humidity and more air movement.
