    Unknow orchid

    I have this orchid, with only very little history on it. I know it's a long shot, but I'm hoping someone here might be able to help ID it, even if only to pin a genus/group on it. It is at least 3 years old, as I have had it for that long. Potted in store-bought orchid substrate, in a 2 inch...

    Macleania chlorosis

    I grow three neotropical blueberries: macleania pentaptera, macleania glabra, and disterigma rimbachii. For the past few months, the m. glabra's leaves have been looking a little chlorotic. New growth looks healthy, flushed with pink, but soon begins to yellow. Otherwise, it grows steadily. Like...

    Attempting my first germination. Double-check me?

    N. albomarginata, N. reinwartdiana These are the seeds I'm attempting to germinate in my new terrarium setup. The only information I can find on them claims that they are both from Borneo (at least), and that they have a massive elevation range, effectively making them both lowland and...

    Atlanta Botanical Garden's Orchid Blog

    I just learned that ABG runs an orchid blog. More interestingly (for me) is that this blog sometimes features carnivores! See the aristo photo below: That's from this article on aristos (and other carnivores). They also have an instagram, which features more impressive shots of the CPs. I...

    D. regia seeds

    I just scored these from the seed bank. They were shipped today. I have not had a TON of experience with germinating drosera. I have done sessifolia capensis and probably more (I just haven't been growing carnivores long enough to germinate a ton of seeds. I have germinated some either...

    Osmocote in pitchers?

    Since i grow all my neps indoors, I usually squirt a bit of diluted fertilizer inside the pitchers when I feed with maxsea or growmore orchid fertilizer. I was wondering if anyone has tried dropping a pellet of Osmocote in the pitchers and what were the results? Positive/negative in plant...

    Darlingtonia House April 2014

    For some time now I have been struggling for room in my greenhouses so I took stock of the space I could make available and decided to purchase a small 6ft x 4ft ( 1.8m x 1.2m) polycarbonate greenhouse. This is intended to house my Darlingtonia and the odd bryophyte and /or orchid. One tree had...

    Sarracenia for trade

    I love misidentified seeds as much as the next person ((( sarcasm ))). However, the seeds I got from a well known online vendor in the UK that were suppose to be of Sarracenia venosa "Green" ended up being Sarracenia "Not venosa Green". I am offering it here for trade. Below is a list of plants...

    Crushed lava rock instead of sand?

    I've been thinking about repotting my nepenthes lately, which is in a mixture of sphagnum, peat and orchid bark, and I don't have much clean sand to mix in. Would it be possible to crush up some red landscaping lava rock into bits, and use it as sand? I'll most likely wash the minerals out of...

    Hello from New York City!

    Hello! I've always been an orchid aficionado, and started growing them in earnest up here in NYC about 8 months ago. The Orchid Board led me here, and I've been buying CPs over the past month or so. Of course I had my odd Venus Flytrap sold in a little plastic box when I was a kid, but like...

    U humboldtii

    Hey. I recently purchased one of these at California Carnivores. I received it bare root. All it's leaves are now dead and withered. I was wondering is this normal? It was broken off of the original plant. The soil I gave it was all New Zealand Sphagnum with the tinniest bit of Orchid...
