Beyond Beginner's Information: Insider's Insight This was originally written for my friend whose interest is piqued in Carnivorous Plants. I've worked very hard on this, but I don't doubt that perhaps I've forgotten anything meaningful or gotten something wrong. Please correct, or add other...

I've been growing them outside most the summer, and even though it's still in the mid 90's here I know I'm gonna have to think about keeping them over the winter soon. I have two options. One is an uninsulated closet on my patio that even though it lacks insulation it still provides some...

I'm not sure what to do at this point. As you can see from the pic below, my N. Ramispina has grown to the top of my grow rack. It's not a particularly tall plant, it just hit 2 feet including the pot, but its tall enough to grow through the top of the rack. Outdoors isn't an option - I don't...

Hey everyone, :D Well i decided poison dart frogs will be going into the 55 gallon fish tank. At the moment it's currently under construction. For the drainage layer i will be using the egg crate method. Any tips and tricks for the background would be great. I'm not sure how i want to do it...

I don't know where to really look for this info. I am in the process of trying to figure out the shelving/grow rack situation for my dream indoor grow room. I'm not sure if building shelves would be a better option or looking for some pre-made shelves at a local home improvement store. If any of...

Looking for Cephalotus Follicularis I have had a nice little seedling cephalotus follicularis that has been growing pretty well for the last little while, but the other week, I made some changes in my terrarium arrangement, and some climate changes/ improvements, and the cephalotus didn't like...

Hey guys! I was wondering how you all get the disstilled water for all of your CP's(that need it). I personally have to buy 1.5 gallon jugs of it every four to five days and it is getting expensive...Do you guys know any other way of obtaining/making distilled water a little more cheaply? I know...

For years I have been growing my Sarracenia in tubs owing to the fact that I moved a lot. Finally I bought a house in Corvallis, Oregon and decided to build my dream bog. I started in April of 2010, and like all good DIY projects, it took way longer than I ever expected. By the time I built the...

Hi everyone :) I noticed some questions about orchid care, and rather than posting in all of the threads, I figured a single post in a new thread may be a better option. Hope its ok if I do this :) Most orchids are "air" plants, although there are some terrestrial varieties. For terrestrial...

Hi all, As spring is in full force, the 3 huge ash trees by our house have finally unfurled their leaves fully. :-( I now need to decide where to move my plants, and advice is needed. :) Option 1: I keep my plants where they are. Where they are now receives sunlight filtered through the trees...

This auction is for the artificial long-stem Nepenthes shown. The leaves are silk and the pitchers are hard plastic and silk. Whatever the bid is at the end of the auction, the winning bidder has the option of buying more than one stem at the end price per stem. I have several of these. The...

I am looking at building a moderate sized indoor green house for my CP's and my orchids. I know that several people here have made tanks with sliding front doors here before. What I want to do is make a glass greenhouse with sliding front doors but I have questions on how to make the lower...

Hi all, I've been keeping carnivorous plants for about a year (and stalking these forums almost as long). In the past, I've had success mostly with keeping plants outdoors (VFT, Sarracenia mutts, temperate sundews), although I've had a N. sanguinea doing wonderfully for me growing right besides...

Hello, Hello! Been on the forums for a while, here and there etc etc, but I never really introduced myself... well, here I am! (tbh I put it off, I dislike talking about myself...) I probably have one of the most unoriginal nicknames... I made it a year ago on CPUK... for some reason I went...

Hello Everyone, I am very new to this site and posting a thread, so I grow orchids here in montana, but I have gotten into CP's and I like the pinguicula especially. I am looking for the temperate butterworts like P macroceras, vulgaris, and poldinii or seeds from them. I have not found...

Hi Folks: We've got some job openings and I want to put the announcement out on our CP Forums before I go to Monster.com. We have a vice president and one intern position open, with the possibility of a second intern position becoming available soon. The intern position ranges in term from 3...

... replacing the chat on the homepage with an IRC chat. It's faster It's more responsive It doesn't freeze every so often You can use a dedicated IRC client to chat, making the overall chat experience at least a little more enjoyable but leaving the option to use the built-in JAVA chat It...

We had a nice little meeting today at work, some of you may have heard me complain that I have insurance yet can't afford to go to the doctor cos I can't afford the deductible, well now they've quintupled it! :banana2: Actually the only ones dancing are the insurance industry, throwing our...

So I'm really into the idea of growing Sphagnum moss these days. It just looks so nice with a CP growing out of it that I can't resist. But I don't want to pay shipping on a small pot of it when I have the option to try sprouting some myself first. About a month ago I took some of this LFS and...

I need to make my five foot tall ventrata deliriously happy. I don't have the space or lighting to bring it in the house, and my greenhouse is really a "warmhouse" that gets down to 50-ish degrees in the winter. I need to check what's in there, but I think my best option is to raise the temp on...
