    question about weather

    I need to know if an adeala, and (I knew the name of it, but i forgot again, but it's a more common one) a sarr cane do well outside in a mini-bog. (the mini bog will have to be in a large pot, because the people who come to spray the lawn with pesticide and stuff, do it without telling. Thanx...

    Recent Pictures

    Some recent pictures of my surviving VFTs. My Dente is all but gone, there's a 1MM sized trap on a tiny little thing which I placed inside a container just now, but, yeah. My Akai Ryu is completely gone, AND there were bugs in the soil. I really, really need to find a local source for a safe...

    Post your short stories/poetry/fiction!

    The title says it all. Any other informal amateur fiction writers out there? Here's something related to plants that I wrote for Creative Writing. I was kind of hyper when I wrote it. Monologue of a Mistreated Tropical Houseplant -- Why Plants Became Carnivorous It’s so dry in here… haven’t...

    Cool way to get rid of pests/bugs

    We've all probably dealt with some sort of bug infestation on our CPs at some point, and tried to find a pesticide that will kill the pest but not the plant. Check this out: http://www.vivariumforum.com/?q=terrarium-pest-millipede-problem-co2 Simple, effective, easy, clean. I'm a bit...

    Mealy bugs on purpurea

    A few minutes ago I found a mealy bug in one of my purps. This must be one of the pests that freaks me the most (not the bug itself, just for having it on my plants). Now what? The only "safe" pesticide I found was Provado in spray, if would prefer to find the soil drench but didn't have luck on...

    I know a lot of you guys are into bugs as well as bug-eating plants (ironically! ;)) sooooo.... My poor little container garden is starting to get a nasty aphid infestation :P so I'm considering ordering a package of ladybugs to help control them. I heard somewhere that a little dish soap in...

I have treated it with Ortho systemic pesticide 4 times and I can't tell if they are dead or not. can someone identify it and tell me if they are dead?

    Pesticides can now be sprayed over waterways!

    GAAAAAAAAHHHH Ok I’m calm. The bush administration announced recently that pesticide users would no longer have to get a federal Clean Water Act permit to spray toxic chemicals over and on rivers, lakes, and streams. This is on top of his other past efforts of restricting some rivers, streams...
