Now that I'm actively working to restore my CP collection, I'm giving serious thought, as to which Drosera to include first, in my newly regrowing collection. Of course, I've already started with Drosera regia 'Big Easy', Drosera schizandra, Drosera prolifera, and Drosera adelae. Through the...

I propagate a lot of Passifloras. Here's the deal. For a trade, I have the following: P. lindeniana, P. sanguinolenta, P. 'Preciosa' (P. macrocarpa x P. alata), P. foetida (from Oaxaca). I'm interested in trading for Nepenthes plants, cuttings (rooted/unrooted), seedlings, seeds. P...

I have several plants in a Highland Terrarium. I will flush the pots with water every 2 weeks. Is that enough? Also, after this i have tons of water left. Can i reuse this water? Is this flushing of the pot necessarily? I mean I do this because I don't can't really tell if the soil in the pot...

Begonia bogneri is a very odd Begonia, as its leaves are grasslike, and it's a miniature. It's a plant from a warm, wet part of Madagascar. It's tuberous, although it does not have an obligate dormancy, grown indoors. For whatever reason, it's gotten a reputation as a difficult plant, tends...

Okay so everything finally arrived on Wednesday, after taking a day to set up everything I'm pretty much set up, just wanted to share the results with people here. Okay so anyway I bought the Lvjing High Power 120w Led Plant Grow Light Panel because of the lower price and the good reviews...

A little over a year ago I bought a Dracula vampira orchid at an Orchid Show in San Francisco. It came from the SF Orchid Society Booth, and did not come with a clone name. It was in bloom, and I managed to break off the spike before the end of the day. Since Draculas are successive bloomers...

I live in Arkansas in zone 7b, which means with the exception of a few sedums and Sempervivum spp., I have to grow the succulents I like indoors. All the plant care stuff I've read says to decrease watering in the winter. I usually water my succulents every two weeks, and the soil is...

I was hoping we could share some pics of your display setup of pots containing multiple plants. This is one of my setups. It has some Pygmy dews, hamiltonii, cephalotus and some random utrics that took over! It has seen better days, is in winter mode, and has lacked some attenction but I still...

For many years I have been growing Sphagnum mosses as a medium for my carnivorous plants, so naturally one gets an acquaintance with other mosses that spring up. I also. annually, go around the local terrestrial orchid population and attempt to photo-document them and whilst doing so come across...

I currently have some extra bulbs of Acidanthera bicolor (Gladiolus callianthus) to share. This is a South African bulbous plant that can be grown with the South African winter growing Drosera species like D.cistiflora, D.pauciflora, D.hilaris etc..... They can also be grown outdoors in pots or...

I got some pygmy gemmae about 3-4 weeks ago. Many of them are starting to develop into little plantlets but I'm noticing a lot of algae growth, possibly cyano, on the surface of some of the pots. Is there any way to combat this, I'm concerned it may compete with the gemmae, and it also don't...

Well, congrats to california, we have a storm. Plus all the rain last week. Do you move any of your outdoor CPlants inside? I just moved all my plants inside the garage to prevent things falling on them or winds blowing the the pots away. Anyone not concerned about storms?

With it being Black friday and all, Im gonna go and see if any of the remaining garden stores around town will have anything worth a look. However, Ive been really curious to see how these netted Hydroponics pots work for nepenthes. Does anybody use these/have any information on using them for...

After speaking with several members here among other growers, I have realized that there are more misconceptions about successfully growing these plants than I had thought. I wrote the care sheet below last year for the NECPS members to use as a guide for their cultivation and I hope that it can...

This may be the single fastest way I have stumbled upon to propagate cephs! I was taking divisions of a few plants about a 45 days ago and noticed this stolon. I noticed it because I accidentally snapped it off. Instead of tossing it out I wrapped it in a bit of lfs and set it aside. I was...

Hello everyone ! I think some of you may already know me from the CPUK foum where i've been a member now for almost 2 years, but for those of you who don't.... I got into carnivorous plants quite by accident when i went to collect some free plant pots offered in an advert, and i also came away...

Recently I picked all kinds of free Tillandsia and Bromeliads..., A local Dr. that traveled the world doing research on plants was selling off his collection and moving. Two greenhouses 40'x 100' full from top to bottom. Everything for sale.. The first trip I made I bought a nepenthes...

It really doesn't matter what media (in this case half silica sand and half coral sand) I use, it is always wet. That's because I keep my potted Mexican/equitorial Pinguicula in plastic trays, and I keep the water levels in the trays, near the top of the media levels in the pots. I do this...

So today was my birthday, and luckily enough a bunch of plants I ordered came ON my birthday! So I figured with my collection being a lot bigger now than it was 2 months ago, Id post a nice update with all of my plants included. This is just my indoor collection, Ill post photos of my outdoor...

Hello all I live in NE Florida where I have a bunch of native CPs already. I've collected some that are growing on my land as well as recently purchased a few Sarrs to round out my collection of native Florida species. I'm wanting to pot them up so I can have them in my back yard to enjoy...
