pings

Hi, been lurking off and on here for a few years now. Currently have 2 unknown pings, 2 unknown Drosera (all from home depot) and 2 very small Nepenthes. Lost two big planters of various VFTs when overwintering them under 2 feet of mulch this last year. Other hobbies include: Making beer...

Hi all! I've grown carnivorous plants (in their hundreds—mainly Utricularia, Sarracenia, Drosera) for 10+ years—but that's a while ago. In 2008, I had to give up my large collection... *sniff*. I'm getting back into it now, although I don't think I'll be able to go as crazy again as I used to...

I would like to trade for a D. Graomogolensis plant. Please PM me if you have any up for trade. I can offer some small Pings and/or leaf pullings in exchange. Thank you!

For my birthday, someone was kind enough to send two pings: Pinguicula moranensis and Pinguicula esseriana Now I have a collection of four, inculding P. cyclosecta and P. koehres. I planted them in the same all mineral substrate as my first two pings (70% turface 30% sand 0.05% Fe203) and...

Looking for a rhizome or two of Dionaea 'Alien'. I've got Mexican pings, sundews, and some Utricularia to trade. Check my growlist. PM and we can work something out.

Hi all, I have the following species for trade. All of the tuberous species are dormant. D. auriculata D. hookeri D. abberans (used to be whiitakeri subsp. abberans) D. menziesii subsp. menziesii ( plants get very red, almost crimson late in the growing season) D. erythrorhiza subsp...

Just a FYI for anyone shipping into CA, last month we shipped 3 boxes (2 with just Cephs, and the third with 2 Pings + 1 Anubus nana), well the Cephs arrived safely but we got a call from the CA Department of Agriculture concerning the 3rd box saying that one of their dogs alerted on the box and...

In spite of my difficulties growing Pings, I can grow orchids really well. First, a picture of a Laelia angereri x L. katsukiana: This is a primary hybrid of two rock laelias from Brazil. They can grow well outside in Arizona, as long as they are given some shade in the afternoon, and a...

I have a T5 fixture that holds 4 bulbs I am going to sit on my 20 gallon long terrarium I made. The light has legs so it sits a little above the tank. Can anyone tell me how far away they grow pings under T5's? How far should my light be from my pings. Also, where and what kind of bulbs do...

Can anyone suggest a good light for growing pings indoors? I want to set up a terrarium in a 10 gallon tank. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I'm an artist from Tucson. I just obtained two Mexican Pings and decided to join this forum in order to learn how to grow them better. I've got lots of experience growing epiphytic orchids, some of the more interesting of which are Angraecum didieri, Jumellea comorensis, and a...

Well, I told myself when I moved to SoCal that I needed to choose among Edibles, CPs, or Succulents. Well, this year I added... well, I guess I failed and have them all, oops! I just gotta grow. I've still got more seeds that I'm waiting on, not that I need more plants, but here's the ones...

Hello All!! I am just jumping back into the cp hobby this year and aquired some different plants labled D.profilera type 1 and another as type 2. The type 2 had much larger leaves and was very different from regular profileras i was stumped. Then i found that this hybrid exists not only in...

Hi, I have had these little fellows for 5 months now. P. Emarginata X Ehlersiae Almost caught a moth. The brown stuff on leaves are moth scales :spidersmile:

I am looking to begin a collection of temperate pings. Anybody have any for trade? I have a whole bunch of Sarracenia to trade for them. I am also interested in acquiring seeds. Thanks

I live in Southern California in a zone 8. Santa Clarita, CA to be exact. I was interested in a few ping species and hybrids to see if I would have any problem growing them outside alongside Sarrs, vfts, and hardy dews year round. I am typically looking for pings that are very hardy like the...

I'm developing a fairly serious aphid problem in a few of my trays (Drosera mostly at this point), and want to try a topical application of Neem oil per this article on Grow Sundews. However, I'm having trouble getting the neem oil to emulsify. The label suggests using 2 tsp of dish soap per...

This is probably a fairly stupid question but I wanted to know if it were possible to grow Mexican pings, P. cyclosecta in particular, outside over the summer (protected from direct sunlight), then overwinter it under lights. I'm asking this because my growlight setup is very very poor and I...

Hello everybody, I have a D. schizandra that I have been growing for a few months in a sealed glass container, however, living in Florida the temps will soon get to extreme for it and I don't want it to die. So, I'm offering it up for trade. I need to have this plant shipped before about the...
