This is part of my larger project to renovate my grow shelf once I move into my new apartment in a few weeks. I've been wanting to put together a highland terrarium for awhile now. With the Wistuba group order at flytrapcare forums coming up and me being worried about the few highland plants...

Hi everyone, 2 years ago my family and I moved to the east coast and my mom painstakingly dragged along her huge tropical orchid collection with her from California. 2 years later her orchid collection has slowly withered away. Between the harsh winter and rampant scale infestations courtesy of...

Hey folks. I'm very new around here. This is my first attempt at CP. I've made the classic hobbyist mistake that I've scolded so many fellow reefers for doing, which is buying livestock before you research. Luckily I didn't mess up too bad I recently picked up a S. Purpurea, and a VFT from...

Hi gang! So, I always wondered this: Common wisdom is that containers for Sarracenia should be plastic pots, rather than unglazed clay/terracotta. (Always done that, never had any problems.) The opposite it true for Darlingtonia, because they like their roots cool, and the evaporation of...

Was just wondering what you guys prefer to use, clear or solid pots and why? what are the advantages and dis advantages of the two? I've been leaning toward the clear myself. I like being able to see the condition of the potting mix.

I would like to ask, 1. What plants do you grow? 2. What setup are they in (terrarium inside, outside au naturel, outside in greenhouse, etc.)? 3. Artificial lights or sun, and the amount of hours directly exposed to the sun and/or bulb(s) 4. Potting mix (rough estimate... 1:1 peat: perlite...

Howdy, y'all! Starting a series of pots in the front yard. These will be fully exposed to the harsh Texas sun and relatively low humidity (generally around 30%-40%). My main purpose for this thread is to hopefully clear up any doubts that these plants can be grown in harsh conditions such as...

Hi guys. I'm having trouble with seed pots... Cyanobacter keeps appearing and I don't know how to kill it without hurting the seedlings or the germination rate... any help?

This is a giveaway for postage for 2 people, decided in about a week by random number. Passiflora 'Purple Haze' is a very solid hybrid, fairly temperature tolerant and hardy to about 18 F, I understand. It's P. caerulea x P. amethystina long peduncle. I got cuttings a while ago from a...

Figured I'd post this in General, rather than the Nepenthes sub-forum since the giveaway was aimed at amateur growers who had few to no Nepenthes at the time of the giveaway, and who may or may not watch the Nepenthes forums with any regularity. I'd like as many of them to chime in as possible...

In celebration of our recent in vitro successes with Nepenthes attenboroughii; and because you guys -- gals too -- are generally good eggs, we're giving one plant to some lucky grower, to be chosen at random, by those merry sylphs over at random.org, in one week's time. We had hoped to have...

Hey guys, sorry I've been away for so long. Hope to be more active again soon. :/ I'm setting up a second terrarium (knew it was going to happen eventually), as I started to re-pot some of my seedlings a couple days ago and realized I was going to end up with WAY more pots than I could handle...

The giveaway is for one plant each for two people, usual rules. I'll try to do this by noon on Thursday, as I would really like to ship on Friday. Shipping $7 Paypal. That leaves me 3, none of which I want to keep, plus an unrooted one with odd coloration, which is also fair game, but it...

I was hoping someone might have some ideas to help me resolve an issue with growing media. Several months ago, I began growing 4 Nepenthes in 100% perlite hydroponically. The plants are watered 3 times a day for 15 min. each (the minimum time interval on my timer) with nutrient solution. They...

I have I think about 3 different types of moss growing in some of my pots. If you know any of them could you tell me what they are called? I hope you can kind of tell what they look like here. Here are the spore pods I think (only the pear shaped ones the others I beliece are some utricularia...

As usual, I moved a lot of plants onto the porch for the summer, where I also grow a lot of vegetables and herbs. The neighborhood squirrels have dug up seedlings, overturned pots, chewed the pitchers off Nepenthes, and this morning I witnessed one munching on the bullate leaf of a Dischidia...

I've got a couple of persistent hitchhikers in some of my Nepenthes pots. Anyone have any idea what these may be ? I assume this one is a Peperomia of some sort. No idea what this one is, never saw anything like it.

I'm not a big orchid grower but this one spoke to me so I had to grow it! I'm not even sure if this one is hard to bloom but it's a mile stone for me! I love the way the roots look and how they overflow the pots. Very interesting to my eyes. Enjoy...

Mostly I don't bother with flower pictures because it is a pain getting the pots out of the crowded tray to get good angles. These are outdoors so much more room. It's also very difficult to render the colors true or catch the subtle veining or other variations. And many of the flowers look so...
