pond

So I'm looking at upgrading my humidifier. Right now I have one of those portable ones that you stick a water bottle on top of. It's alright but it's annoying refilling it so often and I'm also expanding out onto a second shelf in my grow rack and I don't think this little thing has the oomph to...

Since I don't have any good pics yet, I'll upload some videos. Please ignore my voice. It IS deeper in real life, and I have a cold right now. My bog by the pond http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxUkI5kImjI Up on my porch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XW6cG3lDhjg Sarracenia in my pond...

So I recently got my highland terrarium, however as it set me back a fair few pounds I haven't yet added any sphagnum moss. As I like to find out how to care for plants before buying them, I'm wondering how I keep the LSM alive whilst in the terrarium, will i need to water it or can it live off...

Hi all: Just updating on recent finds in southeast Virginia as we continue to search for rare plants. Recenty we canoed a millpond in southern Virginia and found what we think to be a new county record for Utricularia radiata. It was a beautiful pond with good biodiversity and excellent water...

I was able to get a couple of plant excursions while on vacation with my wife... she is a good sport! Long Island: <a href="http://s294.photobucket.com/albums/mm112/Baylorguy81/?action=view&current=P1000734.jpg" target="_blank"><img...

I wanted to share a couple pics of my newly completed bog bench [click either image to enlarge] : The main bench is about 4 x 16 feet, with the growing area being about 2 x 10. The planter bog is lined with EPDM pond liner and is about 9 inches deep. (In retrospect about 7 deep would have...

I would like to know their names, and for those i've already know their names, i'm just checking if it was correct. Thanks! Here are some cactus. --------------------------------------- http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1A3A7ZkAcjw/TgRfqNDDdCI/AAAAAAAABr8/qjrsamJQPcQ/s1600/Cactus%2Ball.jpg...

Okay folks, I have searched this site. I have searched other CP sites. I have read and done web searches. But, I still can't decide. ??? I'm about to add a second barrel bog to my setup. My first is in a whiskey barrel half, undrained with a perferated center pipe. The barrel itself was...

After reading Est's how-to and trading a few PMs I thought a circulating bog was quite feasible for me. Pictured is actually a reworked version of my first go. I learned quite a few things from trial and error: Problem 1: A completely open circulating system with just a pond pump and irrigation...

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...

I will be making an inground bog garden using a pond liner or a fabricated pond....undecided as of yet. I will be placing VFT's, a few sundews and mostly sarracenia's. My question is where should I put the holes for the overflow? I know the VFT's can't take as much staying damp or wet as the...

I would like to offer a bag of my "magic-peat", some water sprite, pond and or rampshine snails, and java moss. If you followed my topic: My annual killie attempt (Nothobranchius palmqvisti) then you are aware of what I'm offering here. If not, I am offering a bag of peat of which annual...

Hi All I used to be on these boards a long time ago, By chance i stumbled on them again.! I still grow these wonderful plants at home. I have a few bogs and and a pond with pitcher plants and sundews around it and Neps and cephs in the house on window sills. I hope to be around for a wile and...

I finally adding in my long planned bog! Thanks everyone for all the info. It is 14-18 deep with a peat / sand mix. hopefully the fence will shield the plants from the wind we get sometimes. It's a newer neighborhood, so there aren't a lot of old trees to slow things down. The walkway has a...

Hey TF. Last October I imported many small cephs from CZ Plants out of the Czech Rep. Now they have grown to a decent size and are currently displaying a fantastic red color. These plants will have a very promising adulthood. For those of you who like to diversify their ceph collection, the Cz...

OH WOW! Today hubby and I went to meet Keith (Ellison) and his wife for lunch at their house so he could show us his garden. I have to say, Keith is one of the nicest people we have meet here on Oahu so far, and his wife is a very sweet lady and an awesome cook! We spent 6 hours at their...

Long post, but thought I'd put it all out there since I was at it Since the weather has been Really Nice lately I decided to move the plants that I brought indoors for the winter back out to the greenhouse & realised I need a bigger GH / LOL I need to trim a few Neps back to make room I know...

Hello- I have been gathering all the info I can on building an in-ground bog garden in the spring and have a few questions. I have had my collection for 6 years in a half barrel plastic pond container. I have been dragging it into the garage in the winter and wrapping it in a carpet and...

I got a request to post another little tour so I took some shots today since I won't be leaving the house with 12" + of snow and the roads all closed. This isn't everything just a peek at some of the bigger setups. Here's the main Geosesarma sp. Red Vampire Crab jungle it's a 40 gallon tank...
