    An Odd Curling

    So I moved from my apartment to a bedroom at a friend's house. The bedroom has a nice south facing window, so I have put aside my plant light and am letting my plants do the full sunlight thing. Oddly enough, I just noticed this: Any thoughts? These guys are right next to the window, I am...

    My LFS Turned Charcoal Grey.... ????

    Or something's growing on it. I was checking on my two sundews last night before I went to bed. I noticed one pot looked grey, while the other was brown. Oddly enough, the sundew in the grey looks healthier. You can see the difference in the last one. The one in question is 100%...

    Stinky sulfur bacteria in soil

    After testing my water in my tray, I realized I had an infestation of bacteria in the soil of some of my pots. The stench was a clear sulfur/rotten egg smell coming from the soil of some pots. Oddly enough all of the soil in these pots is less then a few months old (no more then 5-6 months). I...

    Small Vivarium Starter Kit kamiljablo $7

    Ficus pumila var. quercifolia - I will take cutting off that wall and mail them off to you. They will be fresh cuttings and will not be rooted. These can be tricky to get started, but once they take off....good luck keeping them in line! High humidity and just moist substates give me the best...

    My nep pics

    Making a come back after my 10 day vacation in July when the battery operated sprinkler timer failed. I wish I had taken some pics before I left! I trimmed off a bucket full of dried out pitchers....:0o: This is my 6' x 8' outdoor shaded grow area. It faces E-SE with the brick wall on the N-NW...

    The Good, the Bad and the Ugly...Ceph question

    I just took a look a few days ago at my beloved Cephalotus. It is two large clumps of Hummer's Giant with multiple crowns. I am in awe of it. One pitcher is about 2.5 inches tall and others are close. The good. I was shocked to see a flower scape! It never occurred to me it would ever...

    That dog should've been mine!

    I love dogs. Animals in general, but I am a hopeless dog person. Ironically, I have a cat but she's more like a dog than a cat. She's a perfect cat for me. Anyway, about a week ago I went into a pet store that only deals with rescued animals-not the usual puppy mill pet stores. I made eye...

    Top 20 Weirdest Things Ever Sold on eBay

    I found two lists haha List #1: 10. Item #191367029: The Internet If people can sell plots of land on the moon, then why can't someone sell the Internet? Someone did just that, for the bargain asking price of $1 million. Of course, it was all just a gag and it's unlikely that this Pay Pal...

    Oddly shaped trap

    Hey guys, this trap popped up and is pretty strange looking. I am hoping that the plant is fine, is this considered a mutation? I transplanted the plant this year after it came out of dormancy, so I'm hoping I don't have any root problems.

    World's largest flower gains its place in the phylogenetic tree of life.

    http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,243126,00.html It’s an interesting read. I'd like to smell the flower. After I looked up additional images of the flower, it reminded me of that one pokemon from when the series started back in the 90’s (don’t remember the name at the moment…). PS-Sorry the...

    I Smell...

    So it was like 70 degrees here (in Eastern PA) yesterday and.. let me remind you all.. it's JANUARY.. WINTER! 70 degrees!?! I think I speak for everyone when I say.. "WTF!" Was it oddly overly warm anywhere else? I've heard that this year is going to be the warmest year yet worse than 2005 (as...

    Saguaros anyone?

    Hey, so I planted a few saguaro seeds in a clay pot a little over two weeks ago. (not to mention a troff with assorted cactus seeds as well.) anyway, I filled the dish underneath the saguaros with water. since the pot is clay, it absorbed the water very quickly. I figured since it was a cactus...

    New VFT owner

    Hey all, new here. I've been looking around the forums, but haven't been able to find all the specific information I need. I bought my first and only VFT earlier this summer (sometime in late July, I think), and it seems to have been doing fairly well. Initially, it caught bugs constantly and...

    Amorphophallus autopsy

    For some reason, this is both intreaguing and oddly morose at the same time... http://www.usbg.gov/your-visit/Last-Day-Dissecting-the-Titan-Arum.cfm It must just be the grandness of the bloom to see it reduced to mere parts and entombed. I do find it cool at the same time and am anxiously...
