I found a couple little patches of moss somewhat nearby my group of sarracenia and they seem to be nearly identical (at least to my untrained eyes) to sphagnum moss growing in some of my pots. They are very small sprouts though. I live in Washington and I'm pretty sure sphagnum grows in my state...
You are bidding on a packet of Drosera auriculata seeds. What is a packet? Say probably 50 or more. D. auriculata is an Australian tuberous sundew that does too well in my climate.
information on growing them can be found at...

Recently I've been looking through some photo of people's carnivorous plants and wondered the following: would a mesh pond basket be better for nepenthes than a regular one because of the air circulation ?
In my terrarium, I used the regular square pots that the plants came in and they do just...
So I was pretty much out of room for plants under my two fixtures. However,a lot of pots were failed out previously transplanted seedling pots. I'm in the middle of putting various sundew and a few nepenthes seedlings into 2"circular plastic net pots. These will be about a foot under a fixture...
I have a bunch of super healthy and productive clumps of grape hyacinths. They are very easy to grow, nice grasslike foliage with deep blue flowers, great for edging, pots, or inter planting with tulips, hyacinths etc, overwinter in the snow easily and are one of the first bulbs to flower when...
My school's greenhouses have a lot of fungus gnats flying around, which damage many seedlings and plants that my classmates and I are propagating. So I'm thinking of putting a couple pots of sarracenia in there (although I'm a bit nervous if someone take them since I only have one of each kind)...
This is the final version ( for now) I have decided to go with. The three pumps are now all on this MkIII version. All I need to do now is introduce my seedling Darlingtonia to the Sphagnum baskets. I'll be slipping in a few pots of Cephalotus too.
Hi all,
I had this Drosera pop up in one of my pots so I replanted it into a single pot and got it growing in my Terrarium as it did not like the heat outside for some reason (died back to the root).
The Drosera did not grow from seed, I think rather from roots already in the pot as it grew...

Hi all, I was active on these forums a long time ago but I just recently rejoined. I had a few questions for you about pot sizes for certain plants. I know that VFTs need a pot depth of 6in+ because their roots grow straight down but I also want to find out the depths/dimensions of pots needed...
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...
Drosera rotundifolia
Up for sale is one semi-mature plant, selected from one of my seed-grown pots. These plants are currently around 1.5-2" across, but can reach at least 3", possibly larger, with wide, paddle shaped leaves and a bright to deep olive green color, blushing red in good lighting...
Drosera spatulata 'Tamlin' x tokaiensis
Up for sale is one mature, possibly flowering plant selected from one of my parent pots. This is similar to the reverse cross, reaching nearly 3" across with elongate spoon leaves that blush red in bright light, but they tend to be somewhat more elongate...
So I sowed some seed from ICPS and after about a month I now have around 15 Byblis liniflora seedlings with a few more to come I'm sure.
I've never grown Byblis before so am looking for some pretty basic advice, although I've done plenty of reading already.
A few questions:
1) Some of them...
Agapetes serpens and 'Ludgvan Cross' Beautiful "Blueberries". Trade/Giveaway.
Agapetes is a genus of Old World (Asian) blueberries which I believe grow in some of the same areas as highland Nepenthes. I think the center of their range may be slightly North, often into the Himilayan foothills...
I am stumped. HOW DO YOU GROW LIVE SPHAGNUM AS A TOP LAYER WITHOUT IT BURNING?? I seriously dig those pots of nepenthes with the billowing sphagnum moss literally pouring over the sides... what does it take?? frequent overhead misting? pot sitting in water? ugh. pics of your plant-moss combos...
I'm giving away a mounted multi-lead division of Isabelia (Neolauchea) pulchella, a small pendent epi/lithophyte from southern Brazil that is one of my favorite orchid species. Incredibly tolerant, it grows well in near-full sun to deep shade and temps of 32-100 F, as long as kept moist/humid...
So about a year and a half ago I started Some S. rubra sbsp rubra from seed from the ICPS seed bank, and at about 6 months I fertilized 1 of the 2 pots with osmocote 14-14-14 four month Flower and Vegetable plant food. I placed 5 pellets evenly apart in the pot, about a centimeter deep in the...
I am growing very young cephalotus seedlings. I use 1/3 sand, 1/3 perlite and 1/3 peat for media. I use 2 pots: a pot with media and holes and this pot is inside another pot with a little water so it can hold a little water for high humidity. I put the pot in low light now for few days then...
