pots

I was just out in Florida for a scuba diving trip, but since it's not CP time of the year on the East Coast yet, I still had some wandering through the field left in me that I didn't get a chance to get out there. Luckily, a buddy and I here in San Diego decided to get out of town and head out...

I have a vft that I want to repot, but I couldn't find any plastic pots that seemed suitable. There were clay pots that looked like they would work, but I'm concerned about the minerals from a clay pot being dangerous for my vft. are there any problems with clay pots for vft's? I really want to...

This little plant has sprung up very recently in one of sundew pots. Pot has never been outside and the media has not been changed in two years. Any ideas?

Looks like one of my Sarracenia pots has been hit with an aphid infestation, but before I do anything I'd just like to confirm that it is aphids, and also ask about recommended treatments. First time encountering them. Pot is also host to some D. capensis and VFTs, but keeping the Sarras is...

I recently repotted all my Nepenthes, the only thing that is making me second guess myself is that I didn't disturb the soil around the roots of the plants I just moved them to bigger pots and new soil around the original clump. The mixture is 70/20/10 of dried Chilean sphagnum moss, peat moss...

Hi all! I just noticed something extremely strange, it never happened before in my Nep seed growing. These are N. aristolochioides hybrid seeds sowed on 25/02/16, so 3 days ago, after 2 days of soaking in distilled water along with H2O2 (1cup water + 1/2 teaspoon H2O2). The same goes for...

I was repotting some of my plants today and on a few of them I noticed these balls clustered around the roots right under the moss I use to top my pots. They are pretty solid, can anyone identify these?

I've heard that some people will use wading pools as plant trays for larger collections. I'm getting to the point where I'd like to consolidate my plants into one, but I have a couple questions. What's the best way to control the water level when it rains a lot? Even short pools are taller...

So last long weekend I decided to plant a whole bunch of seeds, mixed sundews including capes, tokaiensis, aliciae, omissa, burmannii, filiformis, dreamsicle, some vft seeds and utricularia as well. Today I was inspecting each pot individually and I noticed on the vft seeds at the very tip of...

Recently, I jumped on a sale of U. Reniformis (though I have not grown any of the orchioides utrics previously). As with any new type of plant, I am overly paranoid and have a few questions that I haven't found answered in the guides here (which I have read religiously). I feel like I'm...

I went to my local indoor garden shop. You know, the kind where they help you grow "tomatoes" indoors. I told their plant person I'm growing carnivorous plants and he directed me to their Sunshine Mix #4. It says it only contains peat, perlite, and a pH adjuster (to 6.5). Has anyone tried...

I want to put my Sarr and VFTs in a big pot together, as that would make caring for them easier. Would the Sarr block out the light for the VFTs eventually if the pot is big enough? I have a large red pot that is 12" in diameter by 12" tall or thereabouts. I thought it would look good with VFTs...

The local home depot and Lowes only seem to offer plants in hanging pots but don't sell them by themselves. I'm just curious where you guys get your hanging pots for your nepenthes. thank you

One of my pots of D. burmannii "Green" has suddenly started to look irritated, and I can't pinpoint exactly why. Nothing has changed about its conditions for several months - 75F day temps, 60F night, growing in the same tank as my other subtropical 'dews (D. sessilifolia, other forms of D...

Hi, I just bought a Drosera Regia and noticed tiny bugs crawling in its soil. I don't know what they are and am afraid that they might harm the plant or spread to other nearby pots. Some grew out of the soil and are now stuck in the water of the tray. Only those seem to jump around a little...

Wasabi Thank you Santa ;-) Wasabi japonica daruma (3) I know the pots are too small long term. I just wanted to get them into some soil and light asap, so used what I had on hand. Cant wait to taste actual fresh wasabi :-O nomnomnomnom

I'm offering a single specimen of this eastern US native orchid. Plant is currently in a 4" round plastic nursery pot, but for shipping purposes it will be removed. I will send it bare root or with the loose media at the winner's discretion. Although it's flowers aren't very showy, the dark...

Last winter I got quite a lot Drosophyllum seeds and put them in my special pots. In early spring the started to germinate. The first eleven I planted in a pot with soil from a very poor sandy pine forest. Lots of roots included from Vaccinium vitis-idaea for possible mycorrhiza partners. From...

I keep several pots of carnivorous plants in the growth chambers at work to trap fungus gnats. They do a decent job of keeping the population in check and reduce the need for pesticides. Anyways, I checked in on the plants today and saw that the Drosera filiformis had gone dormant. This was a...

I've just made the December video and it looks a little silly to post empty pots without the reference to the plants in full growth so I'll repost the June video in this thread too. Ah well, it'll not let me post both videos, not even if I put the second in a reply so I'll just not bother...
