    help with algae pest in hybrid terrarium

    i bought one of those 10 gallon fish tank kits as all newbs do and decided to make use of some of the equipment. In the original configuration the plant sat in a pot in a few inches of water kinda like a bog terrarium but debris got in the water and kinda looked messy and clogged the pump...

    Nidiformis w. weird coloration?

    I got a nidiformis a couple weeks ago in a trade, soon after a few of the plants turned red and stopped producing leaves with dew. So I have two questions, One is this that fungis that lives inside of the plant tissue taking over or some other pest? Two, there are a few other plants in a clump...

    Mystery aquatic bug

    I found an interesting critter today. I won't say from who I got it, just in case it's a pest. I doubt it, though. Alas, it is effectively microscopic, and I cannot take a picture of it; I haven't the necessary tools. (I wish I did!) I tried to look it up, but Google just brought up aphids on...

    FYI Springtail control

    I had some springtails in my CP pots, although they may be a food source, but decided to get rid of them as i was told by an entomologist that they feed on roots. Also my U. longifolia wasn't looking too healthy and I suspect the springtails had something to do with it. Found out by chance...

    Identify the pest (?)

    I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what's going on with my N. spectabilis x aristolochioides. The most recent leaf is distorted, as is the tendril (it's curled backwards). I thought it was a fluke, but now the newest leaf that is unfolding is showing the same problem. I've also...

    No Pest Strips

    Have any of you ever used No Pest Strips to control insects with your plants ? Do they work well ? I was always afraid to use them because I always had tarantulas, roaches, stick insects and several kinds of feeder insect cultures around. I'm now "pet bug" free and was thinking of hanging a few...

    Free Tank Ivy

    This stuff has become a pest in my tanks. Starting to overgrow everything. If that sounds like something you're looking for, just cover shipping and I'll send you a box full. Second tank starting to become overrun by this stuff:

    What pest, specifically

    I am baffled by a pest that shows up in my pots time and again. Have looked it up every time and I know that's amazing but it looks like I am the only person in the world who has seen it! No ID. I think I can get rid of it, but I REALLY want to learn what it is, more out of heightened...

    cephalotus - powder-y pitchers ?

    Anyone know what's going on with this growth point ? Had some of it on the upper leaf as well, comes off when you rub it. Thought it could be the babies of that powdery pest but they don't look anything i know under magnifying glass... Any ideas ?

    DUW ~ Sundews make great pest control!

    The entire house is full of these tiny flies (not fruit flies) and we are having a hard time getting rid of them. They are attracted to light, so I put my taller 'dews under the kitchen table light, and over night they caught tons of flies! it worked very well! Here are some pics, sorry for...

    How to take care of a new heli division

    First the disclaimer..... There are as many methods as there are growers. Some grow beautiful helis using methods totally opposite from these. It is not my intention to imply that you must follow these recommendations to be successful. I present this guide as what "I"do and what "I" believe...

    Need help identifying ants please.

    Hello all! We recently purchased our first house and have been in here about a month. One morning nice and early after a few days of rain I noticed an amazing site of these flying ants out in the yard by a bush/cactus. Later that day, I saw wingless ants all over, digging a hole all by...

    What is going on with my Bog Witch?

    My Bog Witch has been this way all year, no clue what's causing it. I think it may be a pest, but I'm not sure.

    Help with Nep pest?

    I just ordered a new N. sanguinea that arrived in somewhat poor condition. There was some mould on one of the pitcher buds and several of the leaves are malformed. Here are a few pictures: I removed the affected pitcher bud and am trying to nurse the plant along. I've never had a pest...

    VFT Pest

    This evening I noticed some tiny little yellow things on the inside of my traps. They would probably be white but in contrast with the red on the inside of the traps they were clearly yellow. They appeared to move like maggots and looked a little like tiny maggots but on closer inspection they...

    White and fluffy parasites, ohno!

    :ohno: I found a mealy on one of my S.purps that luckily is faaar away from everything else but some pygmy dews. Can I use the Bayer rose pest spray stuff on Sarrs & Drosera without them melting to get rid of them? And will it harm any other kind of CP if it gets on them if it gets caught in...

    Plant pest problems

    My sarracenia are suffering and I can't exactly figure out what is wrong. In some of them, when I unpot them, there are tiny black bugs in the soil that look like sugar ants. I thought that is what they were but as more and more sarracenia keep dying and I keep finding these bugs in the pots...
