    Sarracenia jonesii for shipping – Oregon giveaway only

    I have 3 divisions of Sarracenia jonesii looking for Oregon homes as I don’t have a permit to ship these CITES-covered plants across state lines. These are divisions from a mature flowering plant that is currently dormant. I will ship to the first 3 Oregon residents who post to the list...

    CP growing media..

    OK... so I have my Amazon shopping cart ready... Is this the best place to get my supplies? or is there a better option? (I am not made of money, and was not expecting to be transplanting something I thought was complete) Or is there a place where I can buy a pre-mixed medium specifically for...

    Kong DD-Wrt or NG 6300V2 firmware upgrade on a NG AC1450 router?

    Ordered a refurbed Netgear AC1450, to support the needs of a wireless home surveillance system, VoIP, and general net use. I know its an AC1750-6300v2 that has been gimped for Costco. As is, the firmware is a problem child. Plan on flashing firmware upon arrival but not sure which option to use...

    How to rejuvenate an aging Nepenthes?

    Around 15 years ago, probably, I gave my mom a rooted cutting of a seedling plant of Nepenthes burkei x truncata (purchased in 1995 as a seedling from Tom Kahl). The plant grew and pitchered beautifully in my mom's kitchen window for years--a North-facing window in the SF Bay Area. The...

    New Saltwater Tank HELP!

    Hey guys! I noticed that nobody's posted here for a while but I'll give this a shot anyway. So it's been a while since I've been on Terraforums; a move down south to Georgia and a job change and all sort of whisked me away for a while from some of the pleasantries of life...But good news...

    3 season porch/green house ideas...

    Hey all... My wife said I can turn our 3 season porch into a greenhouse. It has sliding glass doors on 3 sides and a wood framed roof. I would remove the roof leaving only the framing, install Polycarbonate on the roof joist. Add fans and a furnace. It has a concrete floor but I think I would...

    Incoming Winter / Dormancy

    As we all know, winter is coming. Many growers are now readying Sarracenia and VFTs for the cold, however Im still not exactly sure what I have to do, as this is my first winter with CPs that need a dormancy. Living in zone 5, winters are nightmarish and frigid. I have 2 sarrs (Catesbaei and...

    Japanese Aldrovanda

    Back to my old standby. I was looking the other day and noticed some changes at the growth tips and thought maybe they would surprise me and flower. I think though they are just beginning to get ready to take their winters nap. Thickening up at the tips. Four pieces to go out, First come...

    Circle of trust

    I'm going to rant alittle.... I'm not as active on the forum as I have been in the past but the circle of people I trust in this community is getting smaller and that bothers me. Like most I would fully expect it to grow! I find myself selling most of my plants because its the safer option for...

    My experience and what I've learned about mealybugs (ugh!)

    **I will preface this by saying I am not an expert, I have only been growing CPs for 5 years (but only really got into them in the last year) and there are many people here with vastly more experience. This is a summary of my experience and what I've learned about these horrid creatures. If you...

    Heli Experiment

    As a result of my recent move, I'm taking a shot at growing some Heliamphora in the greenhouse, instead of under lights in the basement. The basement is still an option, however. It's no secret that the problem is getting enough light in the greenhouse without "cooking" the plants. It's...

    Starting over, advice needed for highland chamber

    I grew Nepenthes and Heliamphora reasonably well with a basement setup in St. Louis for about 5 years. After moving to an apartment in Texas, my plants suffered and either died off or I gave them away. Now I'm moving to a house (still in Texas) where I'll have more room. I really want to get a...

    Japanese Aldrovanda

    Hi there, Up for grabs one apical growing tip of Japanese Aldrovanda. Postage on me via regular post. If you want Priority or another option, ok by me, but cost of that will be on you. If you choose that route, I will probably include some companion plants as well. Conditions: As some...

    I will be getting one of the Exo-Terra Extra Wide/Extra Tall tanks (36" length, 18" width, 36" height) and I was wondering how many T5-High Output fluorescent tubes I should use for lighting.

    A novice's winter project: Moving from a Rack / adding a Terrarium

    So I have a small collection of plants, some doing well, others not so well. Lately I've gotten the bug to upgrade my growing conditions and I'm thinking about upgrading my old wireframe Lowes rack into a terrarium, or adding a terrarium to my collection as I can. My plan is to source things...
