propagation

Words couldn't describe my anger when I went to check on my plants at the Universty's greenhouse and found some one had helped themselves to my one foot(+) tall N. gracilis leaving me with just this little stub: Cut down to the woody portion, an inch above the media,(as if it were a...

So, I had another thread that I put pics of my plants in, but I didn't like the thread title and didn't know how to change the thread title, thus the new thread. Anyway, here's some newer pics of SOME of my plants, with more to come. Hope all can enjoy Richard Trying U. gibba in my fish tank...

Hi, If you are interested in helping out with the North American Sarracenia Conservancy (NASC), there are many volunteer opportunities in the different commitees. This offers a great opportunity to help out with North American pitcher plant conservation, education, and propagation. The...

I can propagate anything for trade so pm me on here, or shoot me an email at wickedcarnivores(at)aol(dot)com. Haves: Dionaea Muscipula (Venus Flytraps): "Coquillage" "Wacky Traps" Drosera (Sundews): -burmannii "Humpty Doo" -capensis -spatulata -sp. "Floating" -sp. "Lantau Island" -natalensis...

I'll start with the most obvious.. empty milk jugs for RO water. Beanie Baby cubes & Lowe's death cubes. All drilled out and ready for use. They make great clear pots for cephs and regia, which have really long roots. Also going to be converting my tuberous dew collection to these pots...

Hello, I have been growing carnivorous plants for a while now, it was probably 40 years ago when I lost my first Venus flytrap because I was a kid and didn't know they needed a dormancy, our hard tap water probably didn't help either. I'm gonna guess I have been growing nepenthes for 10 years...

Beyond Beginner's Information: Insider's Insight This was originally written for my friend whose interest is piqued in Carnivorous Plants. I've worked very hard on this, but I don't doubt that perhaps I've forgotten anything meaningful or gotten something wrong. Please correct, or add other...

I've collected a bunch of seed over the past few days. Some open pollinated and some selected. I will send packs of 25-50 seeds to folks interested in growing Sarracenia from seed. This is not first come first serve. If you are new to growing Sarracenia from seed, I don't care. To each...

Hi everyone! I took pictures of some drosera jars today: drosera anglica 'Hawaii' drosera glanduligera drosera falconeri (crowded jar) drosera hilaris (turned out to be very weedy species when correct medium is used) drosera afra drosera rotundifolia drosera spatulata var. lovellae...

D. erythrorhiza ssp. squamosa (Albany Hwy) D. peltata 'White Flower' D. sp. 'Carbarup' I'll just toss these in. Ever order a hot fudge sundae from McDonald's? Container works great as a propagation chamber for dews, ceph leaves, etc.

So I tried to do some replanting and it didn't go quite as planned... 1) The binata roots were so wrapped around the pot that the entire thing kinda got torn apart. Then soil got so caught up in the dew that it was impossible to bury roots without cutting the leaves off. Don't worry, I was able...

Mine is growing in a column or tall stem like brussels sprout. Can I pick one of the 'shoots' and propagate them this way ? Seems like it wouold be faster than taking leaf pullings. Just a thought. Any one tried that ?

Hi, In last year I often added superthrive in the water for misting my neps. During those days (about half a year), most of my neps grew side-shootings or basal shootings. In this year, I stopped using superthrive. Just wanted to see whether my neps could continue to put side-shootings or...

Seeds from two different sources, both supposedly Bhut Jolokia, both started same time and grown under same conditions... Example one: Seeds from Jamie in Hawaii, highly regarded source http://www.thehottestpepper.com/index.html Germination speed was very slow and seedlings did not want to grow...

"Plants that turn the tables on the animal kingdom and get their nutrients from insects are fascinating. If you are a fan, or if you would just like to learn more, check out the Western New York Carnivorous Plant Club that is being formed. The new organization is for amateurs as well as...

Here is an opportunity for someone to jump-start their collection with several of the large Orchid-flowering utrics. Up for auction are starter chunks of the following: - U. reniformis "Small form" - I've grown this form for approximately a year and initial observations indicate that it may be...

Up for auction is a starter chunk of U. reniformis "Small form". I've grown this form for approximately a year and initial observations indicate that it may be the same as U. reniformis f. courte - but I haven't grown them side-by-side for all that long and neither has flowered for me. The plant...

The time has come to attempt propagating some of my drosera. Namely D. falconeri and D. regia. There are just not enough around as it is so I figured I could help a little getting these guys into more hands. Here is what I did for each. I am open to suggestions or critique or even rants (I...

Here is an opportunity to win an assortment of 5 different species that will grow well in indoor environments. Up for auction are the following: - D. filiformis 'all red', Washington County, FL - water propagation 'babies'. Here's a pic of the actual plants (upside down - inside a test tube)...
