At a farmers market yesterday, I found some fruit at 2 for a buck, that were labeled as lemon tangerine. With skin kind of like ugli fruit, and lots of pith and interior much like a citron. Said by the vendor to be sweet and sour, I find them to be sour and bitter. But good made the same way...
I was just given a bottle of a product www.inocucor.com/products/ (thanks to Ray at First Rays Orchids)containing a mix of microbes that supposedly have multiple benefits for plants. The benefit which I'm most interested in is a claim to help prevent damping off and other fungal issues. I'd...
Today driving around I saw two boxes at the curb by a neighbors. Having the look of medical equipment, I decided to stop and have a look. There are probably at least twenty or more of these per box.
Labeled as not for human or people or something use, and non-sterile (though they are in...
Hi all,
I have a division of Max. schunkeana (the nearly black orchid species) that I can offer for trade for a Heli division. This species is quite adaptable and has done well for me in intermediate to warm conditions (should probably do ok growing cool as well). It's a mini-small grower that...
Begonia bogneri is a very odd Begonia, as its leaves are grasslike, and it's a miniature. It's a plant from a warm, wet part of Madagascar. It's tuberous, although it does not have an obligate dormancy, grown indoors. For whatever reason, it's gotten a reputation as a difficult plant, tends...

Nepenthes hamata "Red Hairy" - Larger established plant

Hello folks and Merry Christmas!
In the spirit of the season I would like to offer one rooted, growing "typical" Cephalotus division for giveaway.
The only stipulation for this is that I ask that you only participate in this giveaway if you do not already own a Cephalotus. So please, if you...
Hello there!
I'm beginning to get into growing epiphytic Utricularia, and I was wondering if anybody out there had any plants they would be willing to offer. I'm also looking to start growing Byblis and Genlisea, but I realize these are often harder to find.
Any tips on where to look for these...
Hey all,
I have one U. nuelumbifolia available for trade… Since it's tropical, we'll have to be careful about shipping and weather temps. It is young, but has a photosynthetic stolon coming on pretty strong.
I am nearly maxed out on Sarr space… I am really into the following (but not...
Hi,
I have two nepenthes that I would like to trade for cephalotus pullings (or, if you are willing, rooted plants) of varieties other than Hummer's Giant and typical. They can be fresh, or newly rooted.
The first I have to offer is a N. Ampullaria Williams Red x Harlequin. It looks a little...
Recently moved my Nepenthes from windowsill to a terrarium. All the other HL Nepenthes' leafs stayed green or red. However, this three are turning red or yellow. Right now they are getting 12 hours of sunlight from Sunblaze 24 (have specs below). It's 9 inches away from the plants. It's been 9...
SO I bought this little Rafflesiana a few weeks ago, but Im becoming increasingly worried
about the plant.
It has a few dead leaves On the lower portion of the stem.
I noticed 3 or 4 small fungal growths on the dead leaves, but
I decided to check the lower stem as well, just to make sure...
Hi! I just finished deflasking and potting up a bunch of orchids, and after filling all the allocated space I find myself with quite a few smaller seedlings left over. I'll say 10, because there are at least that many I have no question are viable. They're a Catasetum type hybrid, genus...
Though I realize my timing is off as Halloween has passed … entrants to this giveaway must post a photo of a carved pumpkin to be eligible. Winners will be drawn at random. You may enter for more than one of lots of the plants. Should you win more than one, shipping will be combined. Photos...
Yup you read right.
I am offering one pup off my mother plant.
I spent months and months trying to get this plant in my collection. Had people who had extras but would not budge no matter how many plants or money I threw at them. I greatly desired this sundew and it took a lot of effort for me...
the divorce pretty well wiped me out back to square one other than a few guns and my book collection....cause i went AWOL for 3 months traveling out to Washington to help a friend and then spending 3 weeks in Australia my plant collection had to go but looks like things are going to be pretty...
Hi everyone!
I've got a small amount of seed set by my Sarracenia 'scarlet belle'. They may be self pollinated, or may be a cross by flava, alata, or jonesii. I don't know for sure whether this hybrid can be expected to set viable seed but the seed itself looks healthy so if anyone out there...
I will be pulling out a section of Utricularia graminifolia from this setup http://www.terraforums.com/forums/showthread.php/115965-Utricularia-graminifolia-My-Experiences/page6 pages 6-7. Please note this UG is not clean, there will be mosses/algae/whatnot growing with it.
There will be 3...
All of these were deflasked earlier this year and have been hardening up for a while now in intermediate temps. Many have started new growth. These are very young plants and could take YEARS to flower, so keep that in mind.
All you need to do is post up a photo of something HUGE! The winner...
Going to do another give away.... This is for new growers, small growers, and first timers. . What will you win.? Let's go with a pack of open pollinated sarracenia seeds. Some drosera seeds with Id. And some bare root 1 1/2 year old purpurea seedlings. As many as I can shove in a small...
