One week ago today I received a large rooted cutting of Nepenthes x Ventrata that was growing in pure LFS.  It had three fully formed upper pitchers about 4.5 inches tall each one. The next day, I removed it from the LFS and repotted into a different mix, managing to break quite a few roots in...

Hi! So, my housesitter did some damage to my plants this fall by underwatering. Slowly, things are returning to normal. While moving my plants into their new grow room today, I took some pics. First up, N. maxima x albomarginata. I've seen this referred to as N. x "curtisii" and as N. maxima...

Hellz Here, For research for a class, i was geared toward helping human kind in anyway, and i was wondering how i could do this with research in carnivorous plants. What i really wanted to know  what kind of things are in the nectar of Sarracenia, if there are any variences between different...

Hey, My P. moranensis finally decided to flower. It has sent up three buds in succession now, but each has grown to about an inch in height, the nectar spur has elongated, and then the whole bud dries and collapses. Any idea what's going on? Otherwise, each new set of leaves is bigger than the...

Have been a bit busy lately, but thought I would post a few new images. All of these were taken within the last five hours. Here is a speckled variety of N. campanulata which I obtained last summer. I find this variety of N. veitchii to be rather lovely; it is covered with a nice, velvety...

This is a first for me...Anyone have any experience with a black mould forming on their Neps? If so what is the cause? Too wet? Something to do with excess nectar? I recently went from a timed spray system to a misting system with artificial leaf balance-arm. The result is higher humidity and...

I was watching the Vikings preseason game (which they won ....go Vikes!)  when I looked over to see one of my traps shut on my vft.  I was happy to see that since I figured it had caught a fly.  Upon further inspection, I noticed that several of the other traps were closed too.  I saw the fly...

Ok I know they produce nectar BUT............... it is like syrup at the base of my dieing pitchers. I asked my wife and nobody has touched them today. They are out of childrens reach anyway. It is very sticky and globy. No, I did not care to taste it either. BTW it is a N. 'Miranda' Joe

Hi, I tasted the nectar on my Sarracenia purpurea ssp.venosa that scottychaos sent me and it doesn`t have any taste but it`s just rather greasy. Anbody else try this plants nectar?

I've been calling this praying mantis my pet now for 4 weeks. I first spotted him on my sliding glass door 4 weeks ago as a small, maybe 1 1/2" long baby before I left for work. I told him to be careful of all the CP's I have growing on my deck. I looked around when I got home from work and...

Hi everyone, Just thought that if the moderators could open up a forum for Pest, Diseases and Treatments of Carnivorous plants, especially listing each with a photo of what it looks like, a description and possible ways of treating it as it might assist ALOT of people in saving their precious...

I know I'm risking this thread being a bit of a joking fest but here goes.... I was doing a late night check last night on my glasshouse, and noticed that many of my neps were producing quite large amounts of nectar from the pitchers.  This is much more than usual and coinciding with a recent...

Hi, I noticed my S.flava "cut throat" was covered with nectar and I tasted it and it tastes like cane sugar! It`s realy sweet like they say! I can see why the bugs realy go for this plant

Hi everyone, I have recently learnt that my nepenthes didn't succumb to black spot, I discovered that they were nectar glands. hehe. . Thanks to some helpful individuals.  Shows how much I don't know...yet. It has thrived in a lowland tank setup. I am moving this lowland nepenthes to its own...

I love getting off work early! Gives me unexpected time to fool around! Here's some pics I took tonight. First up, N. clipeata this picher was hiding behind the leaf and on the non-window side of the terrarium. It's almost 8 cm high! that's a little Anthurium scandens seedling standing up there...
